Maca: Benefits and Solid Evidence Why Your Husband Should Use It, Too
First of all, here is the list of maca's benefits for everyone and some specifically mention maca's benefits for women.
Maca Root Benefits:
- increased libido (maca increases sex drive). There is no way you won't be more interested in sex while using maca unless you are DEAD.
- cures infertility (for infertile men and women, maca increases fertility)
- enhances good mood (maca reduces stress)
- more energy and stamina (athletes use maca, too)
- PMS symptom relief (maca is an adaptogen--positively affects hormones)
- Menopausal symptom relief
- Andrologia. 2002; 34:177-179. Maca increased the number of times rats copulated, and decreased the intervals between copulations.
- Asian Journal of Andrology. 2001; 3:231-233. Maca increased testicular weight and spermatogenesis in rats.
- Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2005; 3(1):5. Maca was able to reduce prostate size. Prostate enlargement is a problem for most men as they age.
- Urology. 2000; 55:598-602. Maca supplementation led to a tripling of sexual activity of mice. In addition, rats with erectile dysfunction were shown to have their latent period of erection halved.

- Asian Journal of Andrology. 2001; 3:301-303. This was one of a number of studies led by Dr. Gustavo Gonzales. In this trial, normal men aged from 24 to 44 received maca for four months. This resulted in increased seminal volume, sperm count per ejaculation, and sperm motility.
- Andrologia. 2002; 34:367-372. This 12-week double blind placebo-controlled trial led by Gonzales demonstrated maca’s ability to increase sexual desire in men aged 21 to 56.
- The Phase I results of another study led by Gonzales show that, apart from improvements in male sexual health, maca supplementation also improved the subjects’ state of mind, decreasing stress and anxiety levels.
- stronger erections (maca is responsible for this because of how it affects hormones)
