Good health includes more than exercise and eating well. It’s equally important to be mindful of our mental, emotional, and sexual health.
Maca is already known for being an energy booster, but current research indicates its effects might be even more exciting.
Power-up in the bedroom
Researchers at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia conducted an experiment to study the effects of maca on men’s libido. Participants, ages 21 to 56 years old, were given either a maca supplement or a placebo for 3 months. Every 4 weeks, the men documented any changes in their sexual desire. As early as 8 weeks, the men supplementing with maca reported an increase in their libido. (1)
Ancient Inca consumed maca and fed it to their animals to increase fertility, and preliminary scientific research backs up their traditional remedy. Researchers in Europe found that men’s sperm count increased after 12 weeks on a maca supplement over those on the placebo (2). Another study noted a similar increase in the amount and quality of sperm in their 9 participants after 4 months. (3)
Maca might just be the thing to help your man improve his sexual health and vitality, which will surely spice up the night life for the both of you.
A high quality maca supplement is one way to get more maca into your man.
