Peruvian Maca Benefits Hormone Functions
http://www.healthypages.co.uk/newsitem.php?news=6272
Maca root is considered by many health enthusiasts as one of the superfoods. Scientific analysis of its chemical make up brings that idea more into the realm of a nutrient packed food. Studies have revealed that maca root contains a lot of minerals, vitamins, and many of the building blocks that act as fuel for brain functioning and stabilizing hormone irregularities.
It has been found to offer an increase in energy levels, along with greater strength and endurance. For this reason it is favoured by explorers, extreme athletes and people into raw food.
Maca is a native crop of Peru, growing in the high altitudes of the Andes at 11,000 to 14,000 feet in a harsh and cold environment. It is regularly eaten by the local people who derive considerable sustenance from it in the difficult habitat.
One doctor, Henry Campanile, M.D. from St. Petersburg, Florida, experimented on himself to determine the claimed balancing and nourishing effect it is supposed to have on the adrenal glands. Dr Campanile described how he came to discover Maca: “I happen to have been born with one adrenal gland just like my father. I started taking cortisone in my late twenties to relieve the fatigue which I was already feeling. Knowing the dangers of long term cortisone use, I looked around for an alternative, and this circumstance is what got me interested in complementary medicine.”
He then shared his experience from taking the herbal root supplement, saying, “I started using pregnenelone about 10 years ago and it has been fairly satisfactory. But one of my patients told me about Royal Maca, and I started taking it about a month ago. It is phenomenal! I haven't felt this good since I was 20 years old. I have so much energy and look so well, my patients have remarked on it and told me how rested I seem. I've got so much energy now have started an exercise program.”
He now recommends Maca to his patients.
