Contains unique alkaloids, which help stimulate the master glands that in turn may help optimise and balance the entire endocrine system.
How to use?
There are several ways. First of all, maca root can be mashed and boiled to produce a sweet, thick liquid, dried and mixed with milk to form a porridge or with other vegetables or grains for baking. Of course, Peruvians also roast it, or dry it either naturally or mechanically then ground it to powder. It is much easier for our body to digest maca powder than directly eat the root. One can add the maca root to juice, cereal, yogurt, milk, fruit salad, etc etc. So maca could be in the in the natural, powder, gelatinized, capsules or tablets forms. Some manufacturers even add maca powder into chocolates, cakes, soups etc.
The recommended daily usage is about 3-5 grams. In addition it is recommended to consume maca in the morning.
