Maca - Peruvian ginseng

Immunity and Vitality

Since time immemorial, people have sought out miraculous herbs and mushrooms that promote health, cure deadly diseases and enhance male potency. Every culture has its own guaranteed aphrodisiacs. In our country, oysters and chocolate are particularly well known. Recently, however, especially with the development of tourism, we are gradually learning about other stimulants that people use, often on the other side of the planet. One of the oldest substances for promoting potency is Peruvian maca.

You would look for it here in vain - it grows in the Andes, high above the sea (3800-4400 m). At first glance it resembles a white round radish. In Peru it is eaten raw, but the dried roots crushed into powder have a long shelf life (up to several years) and are easy to store. The Incas in Peru have known it for over 1300 years! It increases fertility and sex drive.  

It is a superfood 

- contains the whole spectrum of life. Essential amino acids the body cannot create on its own, Maca contains nineteen of them. Its root contains vitamins A, B, C, D and E. In addition, it is a source of flavonoids, glucosinates and alkaloids. These substances have strong antioxidant effects. They help with inflammation in the body and remove unwanted, toxic and waste substances from it. It contains up to 60% carbohydrates, 10-14% protein, 8.5% fiber and 2% fat. It is rich in cholesterol, low in sodium. Trace amounts of iron, iodine, manganese and zinc. 

Sexual health and well-being

However, Peruvian maca is mainly used to regulate the sex hormones testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone. Research studies focusing on issues related to sexual health and well-being (one from 2009). Better erections or significant effects in cases of erectile dysfunction. It affects prostate health and size. It can increase sperm motility and quality. 

Women take Maca peruviana

to relieve cramps, nervousness and pain - premenstrual syndrome. In older age, it helps with specific symptoms of menopause - hot flashes, excessive sweating, insomnia. A study conducted in 2015 confirmed its positive effect on reducing depression in postmenopausal women. 

Students, athletes take Maca Peruvian

To improve memory and attention, it is being studied for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It helps athletes replenish vitamins and minerals. A 2009 study conducted on professional cyclists proved that 14 days of maca has a positive effect. It is therefore also used to stimulate the body as a whole, as a supplement to increase energy and performance. 

You can buy Maca peruviana today in the form of Maca powder, or packaged in precise doses in health-safe capsules. There are no known exact, health-safe dosages. However, a safely tested dosage is 3g per day for 4 months. It is not recommended for pregnant women and those suffering from thyroid disease. Maca peruviana is one of those examples of traditional medicine where a product used for literally thousands of years is only gaining popularity in recent years, based on rigorous scientific research, when we find that legends and myths are based on the actual properties and substances that a given plant actually contains.

Reishi - the mushroom of immortality

Reishi, a mushroom used as far back as 4,000 years ago. The divine mushroom of immortality – in the past, it was believed to be able to revive even the dead. It has a particularly important place in Chinese medicine (under the name lingzhi), where it was first mentioned in writing 200 years before Christ. An entire army was assigned to search for it, because the Chinese imperial court believed that it could be used to mix an elixir of immortality.

How to boost your energy with natural energisers

We live in an age where we are expected to perform at 100 per cent all the time. When fatigue sets in, most of us automatically reach for a quick fix in the form of a coffee or a can of energy drink. Although synthetic caffeine and refined sugar give us an immediate energy boost, this rapid surge is often followed by a sharp crash, which is frequently even more severe than the initial high. Nature, however, offers us more sophisticated and gentler tools that support our bodies in naturally producing and maintaining energy.

Next-generation vitamin C: How does VEG-C differ from standard supplements?

Do we need the 'sunshine' vitamin D3 only in winter?

When you feel the sun's rays on your skin, know that your body is creating one of the most important vitamins - D3, which was discovered thanks to centuries of research. The discovery of vitamin D3 became one of the most significant medical achievements of the 20th century, saving millions of lives: It was the year 1650 and in the streets of London, doctors noticed that more and more children were suffering from a strange disease called rickets (their bones were weak and brittle, legs deformed, growth slowed). It wasn't until 1919 that Dr. Huldschinsky exposed children with rickets to ultraviolet light and their bones began to heal! Three years later, biochemist McCollum discovered a substance that prevented rickets and called it vitamin D. Gradually, the existence of the most important form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered.

Someone once called allergies the scourge of the 20th century. And they were right. These days, it’s rare to find anyone in your circle who doesn’t suffer from some form of allergy or intolerance, especially if they live in a city. Pollen forecasts have become a regular feature of weather reports, and warnings about gluten, milk and starch appear on food labels. Quite simply, we live in a world where the human body has not had time to adapt to all these stimuli, or where, through living in a sterile environment, it has lost the ability to resist external stimuli.
