Lepidium meyenii
Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable that grows at extreme altitudes in the Peruvian Andes. It has been cultivated for over 2,000 years and traditionally consumed as a food and fertility enhancer. Different colored varieties (red, black, yellow) may have distinct therapeutic properties.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a Peruvian cruciferous root vegetable traditionally used for energy, fertility, and hormonal balance. Modern evidence supports its use for sexual dysfunction, menopausal symptoms, and physical performance. Key active compounds include macamides, macaenes, and glucosinolates.
Maca's mechanisms involve modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, adaptogenic effects, and potential influence on neurotransmitter systems. Macamides may inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), increasing endocannabinoid levels. Glucosinolates and their breakdown products have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, maca may influence sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and cortisol levels.
