Lepidium meyenii (Maca) supports the endocrine system by stimulating the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland controls the ovaries and testes ' maintaining the steroid hormones in healthy levels. Maca also act on the adrenals, pancreas and thyroid. By doing so, Maca nourishes the body and promotes its natural ability to normalise the levels of steroid hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. The most impressive property of Maca is that it does not contain hormones itself. Instead it provides a unique set of nutrients that helps to balance the endocrine system. Supplementing with Maca may notably may improve sexual functioning.
