MACA

Maca root, a Peruvian plant related to broccoli, cabbage, and kale, may have health benefits such as increasing libido, reducing erectile dysfunction, boosting energy and endurance, improving mood, reducing blood pressure, and fighting free radicals. It may also have benefits for fertility, menopause symptoms, and learning and memory. However, more research is needed to confirm these benefits. Maca is generally safe for most people, but those with thyroid problems should avoid it, and it may interfere with hormonal treatments such as those for breast cancer.
