1. Boosting fertility and testosterone levels
The roots of Maca have been traditionally consumed by the natives of high Andes of Peru to boost fertility and sexual health since ancient times. According to a study published in the Journal ‘Andrologia’ in 2002, it was found that 40 percent of men who consumed maca supplements for three months reported an increase in virility around week eighth to twelfth. On the other hand, the group which was given a placebo registered no such such increase. Maca is believed to increase sperm formation, production and mobility in men.
