Dried Maca contains about 59% carbohydrates, 10% protein, and 2.2% lipids. It contains a number of sterols, including sitosterol, campestrol, ergosterol, brassicasterol and ergostadienol. Maca is also a good source of iron, magnesium, calcium (more than milk), potassium and iodine. Maca is mostly known for its outstanding stamina enhancing properties. Maca is not a stimulant, rather, it is a stress-adaptor. It aids energy and endurance, helps to maintain a healthy immune system and re-mineralizes poorly nourished bodies. Maca is also well-known as a natural hormone balancer used traditionally to enhance sexual function in both men and women, to increase fertility and to help alleviate menopause symptoms. The key to Maca's stamina effects appears to be two groups of novel compounds called macamides and macaenes. Maca has also traditionally been used to help to support joint and respiratory health and to improve mood and support memory functions.
