How does maca work (mechanism of action)?

Maca is a plant called Lepidium meyenii. Dietary supplements that contain maca are made from the root of the plant. Since this plant comes from the mountains in Peru, it is sometimes called Peruvian ginseng. But it is not actually related to true ginseng (Panax ginseng). There are three different types of maca root: black, yellow, and red. It is not clear if these different types have different effects in the body.

Maca roots are often eaten as a food in some countries and have a long history of use for various health purposes. The roots contain carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients. They also contain some chemicals, called maca alkaloids, that are thought to have various effects on the body. But it is not clear if or how maca may work for any purpose. Research is very limited, and its benefits are not well defined.

Herbal products, such as maca, naturally contain many chemicals. The amounts of each chemical in a specific maca product may vary. Some, none, or all of these chemicals may have effects on the body. These effects may change depending on how much of each chemical is found in the product you are using.

How should I store maca?

You should store maca according to the product label. Most dietary supplements should be kept in a cool, dry location that is out of the reach of children and pets and not in direct sunlight.
