MACA 500 Farma Planta - Food Supplement

MACA 500 is a psycho-physical stimulating supplement, tonic for male functions.

Maca useful nutraceutical

The most interesting portion of the Maca is the tuber, which grows spontaneously in the Peruvian Andes at heights ranging between 3,000 and 4,000 meters in rather extreme climatic conditions. Despite this, the Maca tuber shows interesting nutritional and medicinal properties so as to define it in all respects as a nutraceutical product, that is, capable of having positive effects on human health by contributing to the functional balance of many systems of the organism. Cultivated since ancient times, maca has played a fundamental role in the diet of the Peruvian populations, so much so that it was considered by popular tradition a "gift from the gods". After the Spanish conquest it was also successfully introduced in Europe where it was appreciated for its positive effect on fertility and aphrodisiac properties.

Food composition

In the Maca tuber there are carbohydrates, proteins, as well as fibers, vitamins, mineral salts and other active ingredients, the presence of proteins means that there are an interesting share of essential amino acids (not synthesized by our body, therefore necessarily introduced with diet) Histidine (necessary in childhood) isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, tryptophan. It is important to add that a correct protein synthesis requires all amino acids, while the lack of one or more of these substances can compromise it. The vitamin intake is mainly due to the vit. A, C, E which give maca an antioxidant power in synergy with polyunsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids. Among the most important active ingredients are the aromatic isothiocyanates, four alkaloids called macaine 1,2,3 and 4 which seem to be involved in increasing libido and promoting male and female fertility, and a group of phytosterols, one of which contributes to stimulate anabolic activity.

Properties and its applications Nutraceuticals

Aromatic isothiocyanates have been shown to be important in counteracting the activity of some carcinogenic substances such as benzo-a-pyrene and 7,12 dimethyl-anthracene responsible for some types of gastro-enteric and breast cancer.

Sexual sphere
Hormonal dysfunctions in the sexual field benefit from the use of Maca as it acts by contributing to the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis and endocrine activity in general. The results show an improvement in libido enhancement, sexual performance and erectile dysfunction. The macaine alkaloids 1,2,3 and 4 seem to be involved in increasing the reproductive capacities of men and women, contributing to the increase in oogenesis and spermatogenesis.

Food supplement
In the dried Maca root there are numerous nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and fibers that give excellent nutritional qualities useful for athletes, in particular the presence of some steroidal saponins such as B-ectisone are involved in anaerobic metabolism contributing to the development of muscle mass. Furthermore, Maca can be used in controlled dietary regimes aimed at reducing body weight, in unbalanced diets and in particular situations of stress, disease, aging and physical activity. Maca is also useful in counteracting fatigue and physical and mental debilitation or to overcome moments of particular psycho-physical stress, it helps to promote mental clarity, stimulates brain activity and memory.

Menopause
Some active ingredients present in the Maca tuber favor at the ovarian and endocrine level the synthesis of hormones necessary to relieve the typical symptoms that precede or accompany menopause and of calcium metabolism, helping to counteract the decrease in bone density.

Maca 500 - adaptogen product
Adaptogenic plants are those plants with non-specific activity capable of facilitating adaptation to conditions of increased psychophysical load, improving the state of general well-being without side effects. The tuber of the Andean Maca possesses these requisites, so much so that it is defined with the term “Peruvian Ginseng”. Maca 500 is produced in 60 capsules of 500 mg each containing a four times concentrated extract of the tuber. All processes and production stages are entirely managed in our laboratories, from the entry of the raw material to the finished product, allowing us to offer the best conditions of high quality and safety.
