Maca root extract

● Maca extract is a natural active ingredient extracted from the roots of Lepidium meyenii, a cruciferous plant unique to the Andes Mountains in Peru. It is rich in various alkaloids, glucosinolates, sterols, and special amino acids such as macanamide. Traditionally used to enhance physical strength, regulate endocrine function, and improve sexual function, modern research has confirmed its significant effects in anti fatigue, antioxidant, and hormone balance. It is widely used in the fields of health products, functional foods, and sports nutrition.

    Pharmacological effects and efficacy

    1. Enhancing Sexual Function and Reproductive Health

    Mechanism of action:

    Macamide increases testosterone and estrogen levels (not direct hormones, but promote endogenous secretion) by regulating the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.

    Arginine promotes the release of nitric oxide (NO) and improves erectile function (similar to the mechanism of Viagra).

    Clinical evidence:

    Male: Improve low libido and sperm quality (dose 1.5-3g/day, lasting for 12 weeks).

    Women: Relieve menopausal syndrome (such as hot flashes and emotional fluctuations).

    2. Anti fatigue and Exercise Performance

    Energy metabolism:
    Polysaccharides and amino acids (such as branched chain amino acids) reduce lactate accumulation after exercise and prolong endurance.

    Adaptation effect:
    Relieve stress-induced fatigue by regulating cortisol levels.

    3. Antioxidant and neuroprotective effects
    Metabolites of mustard oil glycosides, such as isothiocyanates, scavenge free radicals and protect neurons from oxidative damage.

    4. Immune regulation
    Macado sugar activates macrophages and NK cells, enhancing antiviral ability (such as influenza virus).

    Application Fields Green max

    1. Health Products
    Sexual function enhancement: Maca capsules (often combined with zinc and selenium)
    Anti fatigue: Supplement before exercise (such as energy bars, granules)

    2. Functional Foods
    Maca coffee, chocolate (traditional South American pairing)
    Meal replacement powder (high protein+maca extract)

    3.Cosmetics
    Anti hair loss products (β - sitosterol promotes hair follicle health)
    Anti aging essence (antioxidant compound formula)
