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.

Histamine Control Immunity and Vitality

Histamine Control

Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.

Is iodine a necessity? ... Iodine - Kelp

Iodine is a trace element, with an interesting role in health, which we associate with the thyroid gland. It occurs naturally in the marine environment and one of the richest natural sources of iodine is kelp seaweed, also known as "Bladderwrack, Norwegian Laminaria," which has been used in traditional medicine and cuisine for centuries. Kelp can absorb large amounts of iodine directly from the ocean. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, without which much more would not work ... our metabolism would not function properly, we would have little energy, and our minds would be dull.

Iron - the secret to your health and energy

Imagine that your body is a factory working at full capacity (to provide energy, growth, cell repair) and iron is the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you may experience weakness, heart palpitations or paler skin. Symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased frequency of infections, and anaemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body), which manifests itself as extreme fatigue. With anaemia, the body is not supplied with enough oxygen and quickly becomes exhausted. Bruising can also be a sign of iron deficiency, as this mineral is important in the formation of haemoglobin, which supports the proper functioning of blood platelets.

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.
