Benefits of maca powder
May contribute to anti-ageing
Maca root supplement increases collagen production in cells called fibroblasts. Collagen is a type of protein necessary for building the structure of your skin. It also gives cells elasticity and strength to keep skin taut and bouncy, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Therefore, maca extract could be an excellent anti-ageing treatment for your skin.
Source of protein
Maca root extract contains 14 grams of protein for every 100 grams, so you can use it as a supplement to encourage muscle growth. Protein contributes to cell repair, such as muscle micro tears from working out or when your skin is healing from acne scars. The gentle release of protein will also help regulate blood sugar and keep you full longer.
May encourage a healthy libido
Libido (sex drive) is affected by many things, including stress, sleep quality, and diet. People who regularly take maca root extract have been found to have an increase in libido, improved sexual function, and healthy semen quality.
Can ease anxiety
Anxiety appears differently for everyone, and it’s usually stress-induced. You may experience a racing heart, stomach issues, a jittery feeling, or struggle to focus. Organic maca powder is an antioxidant and battles stress by lowering inflammation. This can help reduce mild anxiety symptoms for improved mental health.
