Maca root, while relatively unheard of up until recent years, has now become the catch-all recommendation for everything women’s health (besides UTIs): hormones, menopause, fertility, etc. Like cranberry supplements, the marketing of maca root products has lead to a lot of misinformation in the natural health industry. While the herb has been shown to act as a “toner of hormonal processes,” balancing hormones and relieving menopause symptoms, we have to be careful to not paint with broad strokes. Why? Because much like how every body is different, every phenotype of maca root is different, too. There are 10+ different phenotypes of the maca plant and the particular kind of phenotype you ingest will dictate the response your body has. Some phenotypes have strong male-hormone expression and some have stronger female-hormone expression. The dosage, phenotype, duration, and frequency of maca supplementation are all things that should be individualized for your specific needs with the help of a supplement expert or medical professional in order to experience all of the benefits of this potent herb. . . . #MacaRoot #NaturalRemedies #UTI #HolisticHealth #Vital5 #SupplementStrategy #WellnessPyramid
