Maca extract for energy (anti-fatigue)

The core bioactive components, macamides and macaenes, promote the body’s energy metabolism pathway and enhance the efficiency of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Meanwhile, its abundant nutrients, including amino acids, zinc, and iron, rapidly replenish physical consumption, alleviate muscle fatigue and mental weariness, and achieve dual anti-fatigue effects on both physiological and psychological levels.

Maca extract for the Endocrine System

It regulates the signal transduction of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to balance the body’s endogenous hormone levels. This corrects endocrine disorder-induced issues such as poor sleep quality, mood swings, and slow metabolism, and it is adaptable to the distinct characteristics of the male and female endocrine systems.

Maca Extract Benefits for Males (Men)

Reproductive Health Improvement and Sperm Quality Enhancement

Macamides and macaenes regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, promoting the physiological secretion of testosterone and improving sperm motility, count, and morphological integrity. Simultaneously, its arginine content provides a core raw material for sperm production, improves microcirculation in the reproductive system, and alleviates reproductive dysfunction caused by stress and fatigue.

Athletic Performance and Muscle Endurance Enhancement

It accelerates the repair and growth of post-exercise muscle tissue by promoting bodily protein synthesis. Moreover, it improves the efficiency of energy supply to skeletal muscles, reduces lactic acid accumulation, and prolongs exercise endurance time.

Maca Extract Benefits for Females (Women)

Menopausal Syndrome Alleviation

Macamides exert a bidirectional regulatory effect on female endogenous estrogen levels, relieving menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and irritability caused by ovarian function decline. Additionally, its antioxidant components delay the oxidative aging of ovarian tissue, protect reproductive system health, and enhance the quality of life during menopause.

Menstrual Irregularity and Dysmenorrhea Relief

By regulating the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, it balances the secretion ratio of estrogen and progesterone, improving irregular menstrual cycles and abnormal menstrual flow caused by endocrine disorders. Furthermore, its iron and B-vitamin content replenishes nutrient loss during menstruation, alleviating menstrual discomfort such as dysmenorrhea and fatigue.

Maca Extract Uses

Used in the dietary supplements

Our Maca Extract is a core natural raw material in the dietary supplement sector. As illustrated in the figure above, enterprises can select standardized extracts of three distinct varieties—black, red, and yellow—based on their product positioning. Leveraging its core bioactive components, including macamides and macaenes, these extracts can be formulated into capsules, tablets, and other dosage forms.

Used in beverages

Adding our Maca Extract during beverage production allows the replacement of synthetic functional additives such as taurine with a natural plant-derived raw material. This not only ensures the product’s energy-boosting efficacy but also significantly enhances its natural and healthy attributes.

Maca Extract Dosage and Side Effects

Maca has most often been used by adults in doses of 1.5-3.5 grams by mouth daily for 6-16 weeks.

Maca extract is generally safe and well-tolerated, but some people experience mild, temporary side effects like digestive upset, headaches, insomnia, or moodiness, often linked to hormonal shifts or high doses. It’s crucial to consult a doctor, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or having hormone-sensitive conditions (like certain cancers or fibroids), as maca may act like estrogen, and potential heavy metal contamination (like lead) has been reported in some products.

FAQ

Q: Who should not take maca?

A: Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Extracts from maca might act like estrogen. If you have any condition that might be made worse by estrogen, do not use these extracts.

Q: How to take maca for best results?

A: Preferably, you should take it either with breakfast or about 30 minutes before. Make sure that you are taking a consistent serving size. Maca takes time to work in the body. For people new to maca, we recommend starting at a smaller serving size (1/2-1 teaspoon) and increasing from there.
