Maca is a nutritional powerhouse that is rich in bioavailable plant protein, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Our maca root is cultivated naturally in the high plateaus of the Andes mountains, without the use of pesticides and free from environmental pollution. Sun-dried and cold processed with no fillers, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. Maca can be added to smoothies, juice, coffee, and other drinks, or used as an ingredient in recipes. ----- Maca is an adaptogen and adaptogens get a little bit of a weird reputation because people don't think there's a lot of validity to them. But when you look at the research, adaptogens are pretty interesting compounds. The whole world of adaptogens is a pretty wild bucket of research. You see, our bodies have the ability to react to a given stressor, develop a little bit of resiliency to that stressor, and establish a new baseline. It's just like training, right? You work out, you get a little bit stronger, then you work out again you get stronger, but always comes with a little bit of stress and resistance, right? Well, that's happening inside our body with different stressors and our mood and all kinds of things. So maca is in that category of what is called an adaptogen. 👉https://antlerfarms.com/products/organic-raw-maca Now it's a root vegetable that's typically grown in the higher altitude regions of Peru. Now specifically maca is known as an adaptogen for mood. Okay. And the reason is, is because it contains something that is called macamides. Now, these are specific fatty acids that work upon what's called the endocannabinoid system, which might sound familiar too. So in other words, what they do is they increase these things called anandamides within the body. Anandamides are normally broken down. But what macamides do is block the enzyme that would break down anandamide, and I'm getting somewhere with this. Okay? So when you block the breakdown of anandamides, you end up with a higher level of anandamide because it's not breaking down. Well, anandamide binds to a CB1 receptor and actually can give you a potential sense of wellbeing. So that's what a lot of the subjective data shows. That people just generally feel a little bit happier. They feel a better sense of well-being because you're acting upon that. So in the regions in which maca is grown, they see a lot of this. They really use it for mood, right? But in the United States and in other areas, we've started to recognize maca for adaptogenic properties when it comes to sexual function.
