MACA AND FERTILITY, SCIENTIFIC STUDIES

Sterility is increasingly present in the modern world. With the Corona pandemic, the situation worsened. Men who have not had fertility problems are increasingly facing it. In the case of 30% of couples, the medicine cannot determine the cause of infertility. Each year more couples are facing the problem of sterility, which is why they decide to go on with the process of in vitro insemination. The IVF seems to be the only reasonable solution, but there is also the Peruvian Nuestra Maca, with which hundreds of couples world-wide managed to have children. Dozens of couples who failed in the IVF after several attempts succeeded out of first intention with the help of Nuestra Maca products. That promises.

Is there any evidence that Maca is helping?

In Peru, maca has always been synonymous with the fertility of both couples. It is a historical heritage that is much older than the Inca civilization. The Moche civilization, which lived on the territory of Peru in 100-700 AD, left a clear emphasis on the fertility of both couples with the symbolism of their clay statues and figures. Among them, it is used daily as a stimulant of potency and sexual desire. According to the frequency of finding its traces in the parishes of the Moche natives, it was estimated that it was their favorite food. Most of the found figures and statues from the time of their civilization describe the same topic, and that is the potency, fertility, and sexual desire of men and women! 

Is it a coincidence? 

Of course it is not. Millennial history has shown that maca has remained synonymous with male potency and female fertility during the Inca civilization (1400-1533 AD), during Spanish colonization (1533-1820 AD), as well as today in Peru and around the world. Peruvian and world's universities have conducted numerous studies in recent years on the impact of Maca on fertility. Peru's esteemed Cayetano Heredia University is at the forefront of this.

Studies on Peruvian Maca 

Traditionally, maca was used for medicinal purposes as a source of energy, vitality, and endurance. In addition, it was used as an aphrodisiac and tonic for postmenopausal problems (Leon, 1964). Studies on rats have confirmed a positive effect on fertility. Four alkaloids (Macaenes) isolated from Maca roots at the University of San Marcos in Lima are responsible for this effect (Chacon, 1990). These alkaloids were administered to male and female rats either purified or combined. A significant improvement in egg maturation was observed in females that received any type of preparation. Also, in both preparations, a significant increase in the amount of sperm as well as an increase in sperm motility was observed in males. Chacon concluded that Macaenes activity affects the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, which explains why Maca has the ability to induce changes in both sexes. Furthermore, Chacon found that maca has the ability to affect the adrenal axis. 

The aphrodisiac properties of maca root can be attributed to the influence of biologically active aromatic isothiocyanates (Johns, 1981). Johns explains the positive effect on fertility by the influence of glucosinolates present in maca root. There are various scientific studies that have shown great results on the fertility of both sexes, enhancing sexual desire and energy (Canales y col, 2000; Zheng y col, 2000; Gonzales y col, 2001). The first study, where black maca extract is used in men, concluded that sperm levels and motility were significantly improved after 15 days of consumption. The article was published in the Asian Journal of Andrology in September 2001 (Gonzales y col., 2001). 

Extracts of red and black maca enhance sexual desire, improve fertility of both couples, reduce embryo mortality rate, lift mood, alleviate depression and anxiety, improve memory and learning ability, and protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation (Gonzales y col., 2014).

Maca and IVF, embryo mortality  

You read in the previous paragraph that red maca reduces the mortality rate of embryos. After 5 years of experience, we have achieved that dozens of couples who did not succeed in the IVF several times succeeded in the first one with the help of Nuestra Maca products. In addition, the occurrence of fetal loss by natural conception is reduced to a minimum, and the success of conceiving with our products is more than 60%.
