Active Constituents: Dried Maca weighs in at about 59% carbohydrates (starches and sugars), 9% fiber, and slightly more than 10% protein. It has a higher lipid (fat) content than other root crops (2.2%), of which linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid are the primary fatty acids, respectively. Maca is also a rich source of sterols, including sitosterol, campestrol, ergosterol, brassicasterol, and ergostadienol. From a mineral standpoint, Maca exceeds both potatoes and carrots in value, and is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine.

How Much Should Be Taken?  Achillian ORGANIC Maca Root is a food. Its designation as an herb food imparting specific health benefits is also true, but primarily Maca is eaten as a food. Recommended dosages are 3150 - 4200 milligrams daily. Again, you can take more, as Achillian ORGANIC Maca Root is a very safe food herb product and has no over dosage effect to be concerned about. Take Achillian ORGANIC Maca Root powder mixed into water or juice. Each 1/2 teaspoon is the approximate of 2150 milligrams with 200 milligrams of our Achillian Energetic Trace Minerals.

Are There Any Side Effects or Interactions?  In toxicity studies conducted in the U.S., Maca showed absolutely no toxicity and no adverse pharmacological effects. In animal studies, the more Maca animals consumed, the stronger and more sexually active they become. It is also noted that women may experience some breast tenderness which is an indication to cut back on dosage size since hormonal stimulation as been increased substantially but noting to be concerned about. There are no known other side effects.

Other Reported Traditional Uses:  Archeological evidence has been found, that Maca was domesticated over 2000 years ago by the predecessors of the Incas and primitive cultivars of Maca were even found in places dating back to 1600 years before Christ. So the history of this amazing herb food is becoming very popular worldwide today.

Research On Maca:  Peruvians claim that Maca improves memory, combats anemia, and fights depression. Some researchers note that when the body is well-nourished, libido rises and depression abates; Maca's nutrient value could explain some of these purported actions. The root, which tastes like butterscotch when it's roasted like a potato, can also be prepared into jam, broth, puddings, and juices, and contains five times more protein than a potato, four times more fiber, and less fat. It contains linoleic and oleic oils (two types of essential fatty acids) and essential amino acids.

Maca's actions on sexual function are far better researched than its effects on mood and memory. A 1961 study showed that Maca increased fertility in rats. Then came studies of guinea pigs, rams, and cows, each of which corroborated Maca's fertility-enhancing effects. For example, Maca significantly increased ram semen volume and sperm count. Human being are now reporting similar results with continued use. 

Researchers consider plant sterols, isothiocyanates, and glucosinolates to be Maca's active constituents. The sterols have been shown to reduce cholesterol; this can positively affect erectile response if erection is compromised by artery clogging fats. And the isothiocyanate p-methyl benzyl has been shown to increase fertility in humans. Advance word has it that animal research will soon be published in a major medical journal that identifies Maca's secret agents of sexual desire and energy.

 The actions of four alkaloids from Maca root may also serve to increase animal fertility. One of the researchers heading current studies on Maca, Peruvian biologist Gloria Chacon de POPOVICI, Ph.D., suggests that Maca alkaloids act on the hypothalamus-pituitary axis and the adrenals. These areas of the body produce hormones as well as energizing substances like adrenaline. The end result could be an increase in energy, vitality, and virility. Still, no studies of Maca itself have been conducted on human sexual response, despite physicians' claims that Maca positively affects ovarian function in women, and, as mentioned previously, erectile function in men.

It's important to keep in mind that just like coffee and tea, Maca has many different grades and species and not all are as effective or as potent as Achillian ORGANIC Maca Root.  

Today Maca is becoming increasingly popular in Peru among native and non-native people, and the effects of Maca are creating market demand world wide and in the United States. Maca cultivation is on the increase, a number of government experts and agencies are actively promoting Maca agriculture and development, and Maca is poised to be a major botanical product on the international herbal scene as it grows in leaps and bounds in popularity.

Gelatinized Achillian ORGANIC Maca does not mean gelatin capsules or mixed with gelatin. It refers to the process the Maca undergoes, a similar process to the purification of gelatin. The process removes starches and breaks down the bonds that bind the starch molecules to the amino acids and other compounds locked within. Gelatinized Achillian ORGANIC Maca is produced at the National University of Agriculture, La Molina, Peru and is recognized as the main source of Gelatinized Maca. The university is an agricultural teaching college with students from all over the world including South America.

This process does two things, first, it removes starch (which comprises 33% of the maca plant) and leaves behind the natural chemicals and nutrients, therefore concentrating the important elements of the Maca root. It also frees the macaenes and macatides from their starch bonds which human digestion cannot fully break, meaning the Gelatinized Achillian ORGANIC Mac a which will yield a much higher percentage of absorbed macaenes than non-gelatinized Maca.
