Maca Powder Benefits
Maca is a root from Peru that has been used for hundreds of years to help:
-Increase energy
-Balance hormones
-Thyroid function
-Sexual functioning
-PMS and menopause
-Bone health
-Reduce stress, frustration and depression
Science has already backed up and explained many of these functions:
1. Helps balance out hormones
a. Maca has plant sterols that stimulate endocrine function. Through its effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, Maca has been shown to positively impact ALL of the endocrine glands
b. These sterols improve adrenal, testicular, ovarian, thyroid and pancreas functions
i. In essence, through multiple effects Maca helps to stimulate the endocrine glands, which leads to improved regulation of hormones
How does this balancing of hormones influence our health?
2. Estrogen leveling: Menopause
a. One of the main uses, both traditionally and via modern science, is with helping to treat menopause symptoms
b. There are many herbal alternatives used instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), such as soy and red clover extracts
i. These plants have phytoestrogens, which by resembling human hormones can impact Estrogen and Progesterone levels - women can have negative responses similar to HRT
c. Maca works in a different way - rather than through phytoestrogen effects, the alkaloids of the Maca root promote improved endocrine gland function through its effect on the function of the hypothalamus and the pituitary.
i. These non-steroid compounds have fewer adverse responses in women, thus Maca is safe to use to help with these symptoms
3. Helps libido/sex drive
a. This impact on the endocrine glands has also been shown to have a positive effect on sex drive as well as sexual reproductive health
i. Improve fertility, both on the ovaries of women and the testes of men (1)
ii. *Feeling of increased energy! (1)
4. Other benefits
a. Due again to the impact on the whole of the endocrine glands, there are a number of other supported benefits of Maca:
i. General energy improvement
ii. Weight management
iii. Lowers triglyceride levels
iv. Strengthens bones
v. Stress management - lowers cortisol levels
vi. May help depression
*According to the Whole World Botanicals report in 2007, it was found that Maca root could be safer alternative to Hormone replacement Therapy in men and women
Reference:
1. Hormone balancing effect or pre-gelatinized organic maca

David Sanchez thanks!!
You sir are a hero among men. Thx!
David Sanchez thanks David! Btw, I have a brother named David Sanchez, but there is no way I’d ever run into him on a healthy food video 😂
Thanks Thomas and David Sanchez
Thanks dude!
In Peru, you can have a mix drink made with maca and quinoa in the street, usually bus stops or corners. It’s pretty common for breakfast. About the benefits, we know that it gives you energy, makes you stronger and for men, it helps them with “bed “ problems, makes them more active. I don’t know if it is still cheap there like quinoa used to be before its exportation started. Ironically these foods were the cheapest for years (70s 80s 90s). Little by little our traditional foods are becoming less accessible for our people ( Peruvian) due to the exportation.
Wow,
it's things like this why in countries like yours, people are happy, energetic and have AMAZING bodies.
I'm from America where they push doctors and drugs to help people "feel better" and then when we start getting horrible side effects, they give us more chemicals until we look and feel like zombies, then develop diseases and die young. 🤦♀️
I'm only 45 years old but I felt like I was dying and even though I knew better, I still somehow fell into the trap and it's a vicious cycle once you're in it but I'm now free from all medication and trying my best to heal whatever damage I can from the years of abuse my poor body endured.
Lo lamento
I use it in my pre-workout. The best things we can do, is make sure it's from an ethical source.
I love maca! I eat it everyday along with acai and maqui berry. My reproductive system has benefited immensely from these superfoods!
Yes same trend in all countries. In my we have lost good quality of fruits due to exportation
I talked with a Peruvian woman and she was relating how women in Peru use Maca for bone density issues as well as general bone and teeth strength.
Wei Qi wow! Thanks for letting us know!
Nice to know.
In my 20’s,I had my period without any issues but in my mid 30’s I started to experience irregularity and leg cramps during my period and after taking Maca for a month, my period has become regular without any leg cramps.Maca works!
Hi Rebecca!how do u use that maca powder in a water or in a smoothie?recepi plzzz
Iam in 20s I feel like 30s
I just finished my maca root shake I gotta say it taste good and I feel great! just wish I know about this sooner thanks Thomas.
I'm your fan & I love all of your videos. I'm learning a lot from your healthy shakes , fruits & so on. Thx again. You r helping so many people without spending any money. I don't understand how people can be so cruel & write bad comments. Thank you again. Marie Santher, from Canada 🇨🇦
It's nice to see such positive and informative stuff on youtube. Keep up the great work!
I used to use Maca powder, it's super expensive but it's a great thing. My period was less painful and my skin cleared up. I made breakfast smoothies using oats, peanut butter, green apples and almond milk and cinnamon.
Oratee 22 trader Joe's has it for a pretty good price these days
cuchanu that's true I get it there.
Wassup y’all where do y’all go or do y’all order online
Gross
Thanks, Thomas! I added some cacao and used coffee instead of almond milk - delicious!!
After seeing just your first video I had to subscribe. Your videos are absolutely perfect and so helpful man. Thank you so much!
I just received my Maca root powder and thanks to you I will make a awesome shake ,although until I go for the almond milk and other stuff I might just add it to my Turkish coffee tomorrow morning .
My favourite shake is to mix a tablespoon of Maca with blueberries, spinach and coconut yogurt/milk. It is really scrumptious, and packed full of nutrients.
I have all the ingredients! will give it a try
I bought black maca powder today. Felt it working in less than 15 minutes. Intant libido boost and overall energy. I just restarted a juicing and will definitely add this yo yhe regimine. I used 2 tsp, or 2 servings. Will go down to 1.5 servings. Interested to see its effects over the coming weeks.
Please can you share your recipe of macaroot for the instant libido boost
I always look to you for info - you are my health authority! Thanks so much!
Missed the taste of vanilla milkshakes but this is so much better with health benefits dude ur the best !!
I know this is old but can you do another video on Maca. The different types (colors, powder vs pills)?? Love your videos!
Hi Thomas, first of all thank you for posting such good info all the time.
I have been reading up on maca powder and started using in my after-workout oats. I am currently maintaining kethosis, but eat about 20-30 grams of carbs after workouts to replenish glycogen. Side question: what is your opinion on that?
Main question: I read that raw maca has to be heated to release active ingredients. Is this true and does it apply to RAW MACA POWDER (the kind I bought)? There is also gelatinized maca, can you maybe elaborate on the different kinds available and how to use them? Thank you!
Thanks for this video, it's one of the best videos I have watched on RUclips, better than a makeup tutorial because this is about health and you bieng hot it's a bonus 👍
This is hat I use for hot flashes! Love the recipe. Thanks
This Maca Shake is fantastic - Thank you so much.. I did add one twist - I put a few cloves of Raw Garlic into the blend and it adds spice and zip.. YUM YUM... Thanks again Thomas
I’m drinking a maca lat’e as I watch this. I was put off maca at first because it was gritty. I always put it through a sieve now and its awsome. 🤩
I like that his videos are grounded in scientific research. Nice.
Hey Thomas I just started on Keto and I usually take Maca root powder daily but Now that I started Keto, the 2tsp, 1 tbsp Maca covers my entire carb macro for the day. Any Advice?
Thanks. Made this shake used honey, it was delicious. Do know the effectiveness, look forward to the results. Great job.
OMG Thomas, this is awesome. I am perimenopausal and thinking about bioidentical HRT. But I’m going to try this first.😀👍
Hi Lisa I suffering from estrogen deficiency,will this maca root helped you with harmonal imbalance, Please reply
Commenters be like, "can I use coconut oil instead of cream? What about bananas instead of other sweeteners? Geletanized maca or powder? I don't understand the basics of mixing a smoothie" - shit people, the main ingredient is maca, everything else is improv to make it not taste like maca.
False!
But does maca break a fast? ;)
Does bears eat maca ? But for me I don’t need maca or anything else I am at the current highest optimal level of Hormones and even if it fluctuates my body optimizes it twice better than a normal person
JimmyJJ but seriously does maca break the fast ??? 🙈
@@ANNA7171493 Yes, it does. This is one big carbohydrate
Love maca root! Smoothie looks awesome. Thanks.
Thank God eased Menopause
Symptoms 🙌🏽
Hi handsome!
have a good day!!!
Very informative information thank you so much and may God-bless you and your family!!!
Wow...that's why I take it! Good info! Thank you!
You say Butterscotch, I say Spicy Dirt Flavor but you're definitely right that Maca has huge benefits!!!
I thought it smelt like gun powder, if you ask my opinion.
Micheal L totally
Yeah, it's gross. But does nice things
It’s awful. Some people say it’s delicious, I say you’re deluded lol. But I still drink it. I know someone that just drinks it with water. Crazy.
😂
love this video thanks. I definitely try
Thanks this is a delicious smoothie!
I started drinking maca root about a week ago, and the first day or two the flavor was kind of startling, but after a couple days I realized I really like the earthy flavor of maca root!
Come on, it is not even tasting like digestable
Salamat po...👏💪
Phenomenal video as always!!! Would the Maca lower or eliminate my DHT since I have thinning hair? Thanks.
I keep seeing stuff about Saw Palmetto really being effective. Should be getting that and maca powder today 🤞
@@Lafemme17 THANKS!
been taking "Black" maca but this shake sounds great, realizing this vid was made some time ago what would your recommendations be today? thanks
Hey...look into whether your maca powder is raw or gelatinized. its pretty important for it to be gelatinized, as it(along with its relatives:kale, cabbage, broc, cauliflower) has goitrogenic qualities that should be cooked out. its also said to maximize the powerful benefits by cooking the starches out. Hope this helps.
Yes this is very important! If it's not gelatinized your body won't digest and absorb it properly so you wonbe getting the benefits.
Great Stuff !!!
Hello. Do I have to fellow the recipe to the T or can I add my own ingredients? Like peanut butter, banana, and some berry’s.
I made this milkshake (subbed whipping cream for coconut cream) and I got really anxious and didn't sleep all night. I'm not an avid coffee drinker because it also messes with my sleep, so if you're in a similar boat you might want to decrease the amount of maca you add.
Been a while since I have been subscribed to your channel.
You come across really genuine and I trust your opinion and it has helped me in the weight loss process(gotta love the frozen grape snack suggestion).
Love the fact that you share a complete healthy approach to life and not just showing how to lift weights in the gym.
The only thing lacking is more videos from you on this channel.
Gush
Great video. Where did you get the can opener?
I do
1cup almond milk
1 banana
1/2 frozen orange
1 tblspoon of yellow maca
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Soo good
Thanks for the video! To boose testosterone, can we take some good testo booster supplements? My point is to compare maca root and those testo boosters.
Great video Thanks!!
All plants I love it!
Ummmmm..I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN!! LOL
nice information love your videos thankyou :)
Hello. am new to your channel but really like them. I subscribed.can you pls make a video on how to lose belly fats . Thanks
I would add some cinnamon. Seems a natural combo while balancing insulin. Also cinnamon and honey are very effective.
thank for the info.
I bought maca root today thanks to this video
Thank you!
Thank you! 🙏🏻😁 I have Max’s root that I put a little of in snooties, but I wanted to drink more because my thyroid was injured by whiplash and I’m 50 now and need hormones!
Great recipe! I tried it!
Cook your porridge with full fat milk add cinimin then cook once cooked add 1 teaspoon of maca powder, 1 teaspoon of cacao powder and finally 1 teaspoon of hemp protein powder top off with blueberries.
Mix all together and enjoy
Thank you sir.
Thanks Thomas - Have a great day! ;)
Amazing!!!
Exactly what kind of maca root do you use?? Post the link please.
Ashwagandha is also great as well. I'm going to be taking both!
Can you tell me what the aswaganda is good for
Gooooood ....
I like the taste of Maca. Don't see the need for a sweetener but the mix sounds promising
Please help! I love how maca powder gives me energy and a vibe boost especially before work outs but it's not keto friendly. Is there an herb/natural supplement powder like maca powder that is keto friendly?
Is this a good shake for ppl with thyroid problems
could you do a video on shilajit?
I just started taking the Black Maca powder. It works well and great info and vid !!!!
Justin Andras Stikwititfitness where did you get it?
Hey Brenda you can get it on Amazon. Its called the Maca team. Its in a powder form. Good stuff !!
Justin Andras Stikwititfitness Thanks for the info, great videos btw...you have a new subscriber!!
Thank you very much. I will continue to keep uploading every week to cover different things and topics !
I put a tablespoon of maca on my oatmeal in the morning with ground flaxseed hemp hearts a banana and blueberry and cinnamon after my workout I wonder if that's too much maca powder it says on the bag one serving is a tablespoon
perfect combination.
Hi Guys
Is it keto friendly?
How much net carb in one Glass of the shake?
Thanks
Steer clear of soy except maybe fermented once in a while. This is for many reason: GMO, mono-culture, phyto-estrogen, they use is to make animals fat, etc.
Read Dr. JJ Virgin's books. In Japan they say "if you do not want your husband to cheat on you give him some soy."
When older ladies are told to take estrogen is usually in conjunction with progesterone. And, I read the preferred form is topically.
will maca root powder have any impact on your blood glucose level and throw you out of ketosis? I could see that it has sugar in it and a bit concerned on what type of sugar it could be (sucrose or fructose)?
question .. maca root powder is it safe or effective for bariatric patients
Hi Thomas I'm a new subscriber
Can i take it on summer time pls let know
Please confirm whether maca increases or decreases weight? I am confused as some people are claiming weight gain with their usage. I dont wish to gain weight. My use is for hormonal.
👍Yum. 🤤😋 Bought Some Maca Root powder yesterday not knowing how I was going to exactly use it. I think it’s amazing how after an extended fast the body tells us what we need.😁
@tom i recently decided to try maca- last month i got green maca this month its (yellowish) what is the difference between the 2 colors of maca?
I love the idea of making coconut cream icecream!!! :D 😎 perhpas i will get hold of some good thick coconut cream or milk and seperate the fat and liquid, then make a maca or vanilla icecream...
I read that the gelatinized form of Maca is better for you. Easier to digest and assimilate. Is this true?
Ive found it easy to drink gelatinized. Tons of benefits
Yosemite Sam I do not buy the gelatanized. I buy the raw maca powder and roast it myself in the oven until golden brown. By roasting maca yourself you release the toxins but keep the nutrients that are lost during the gelatanizing process.
please describe the roasting process.. i got really sick from raw maca in water...terrible nausea...but doesnt roasting ruin it??
Can you use coconut oil or have to be coconut cream?
have a question isn't eating from tin cans unhealthy
Just made this! It tastes delicious but the coconut cream didn’t mix in well. It kind of has a curdled texture and leaves a coating in the mouth. Wondering if I used too much coconut cream or if it’s just because of the ice? I used a ninja blender.
Is Raw maca root or Gelatinized maca root best?
Would taking maca pills have the same effect?
Hey Thomas are you sure that putting a lid back on a can is a healthy idea?
@thomasdelauer can I drink this as a pre-work out shake?
Hi Thomas, I read an article that advised us to not place a lid back on a tin can to re-use for later. It's best to remove the remaining amount and place in Tupperware. Just passing on the msg. I'm sure there's some truth to this.
Noticed that the bag of maca root powder was from Sprout's. I live in Arizona and I love shopping there!
Is there another alternative to coconut cream?
Gorgeous x
I’m on day 3 of using it, it ahead given me my period (after 8 months of no period) already but has also given me a bad headache and sweating! I’m assuming it’s just levelling out my hormones. So far it’s working though.
How did you take macca
Hi
Great video Question how long did it take you to go from your before pic to your now ripped self?
I wonder if he counts his macros on any other day. If not, I wouldn't eyeball all those ingredients for that physique.
I add it to my pre-workouts, Maca and Lions Mane. I do full body workouts with cardio at the end. Without I don't have energy for cardio.
Can i make this juice stored in fridge to be taking it every morning.
No soy! Great video jus started Macau
Time to try Maca root
You mentioned the '''beneficial sterols'' what sterols are you referring to?
Will it kick me out of ketosis?
Niiiice recipe
