Maca, die Powerwurzel für Frauen

Maca, the power root for women

Maca, the root native to the Peruvian Andes, has been valued as a true superfood for centuries – and for good reason! Women, in particular, benefit from the many health-promoting properties of this plant.

Hormonal balance

Maca can help balance your hormones. This is especially beneficial for menstrual cramps, PMS, or during menopause. The secondary plant compounds contained in maca (especially glucosinolates) support the function of the pituitary gland, which is responsible for hormone regulation.

More energy and less stress

Maca is an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body cope better with stress. It promotes energy production without making you nervous and can help reduce fatigue.

Libido and fertility

Studies show that maca can increase libido and promote fertility in both women and men—no wonder it's often called a "natural aphrodisiac"!

Surprising fact about Maca :

Did you know that there are different varieties of maca, each with its own benefits? Yellow maca is a versatile herb, red maca is often associated with positive effects on bone health and hormonal balance, while black maca is primarily known for energy and memory enhancement.

🍀 What makes Maca so special in our products?

Our special fermentation technology brings with it several advantages that can make the superfood even more effective and better tolerated:

1. Better digestibility

Unfermented maca contains natural starch and fiber, which can cause bloating or stomach upset in sensitive individuals. Fermentation breaks down these hard-to-digest components, significantly improving digestibility and making maca more digestible even for people with a sensitive digestive system.

2. Higher bioavailability of nutrients

During fermentation, nutrients such as minerals (e.g., iron, calcium, and magnesium) and phytochemicals (e.g., glucosinolates) are converted into a form that is easier for the body to absorb. This means your body can utilize more of the valuable ingredients.

3. Probiotic effect

Fermentation can produce probiotic bacteria that promote gut health. A healthy gut is crucial for hormonal balance, energy production, and overall well-being—all aspects where maca, even unfermented, is helpful.

4. Milder effect

Some people find raw or unfermented maca too stimulating, especially for those with sensitive hormonal systems. Fermented maca has a gentler effect while still boosting energy and regulating hormones.

5. Natural sweetness and improved taste

Fermented maca often has a milder and slightly sweet-sour taste that is easier to integrate into drinks or food.

In short:

Fermented maca is easier to digest, more efficient in nutrient absorption, and can provide additional probiotic benefits for your gut health – ideal if you want to get the most out of this superfood !
