What are the benefits of maca root?

Increasing libido	The most well-known benefit of maca root is its potential to increase libido. There is some scientific evidence to support this claim.
Reducing erectile dysfunction	Maca root could also have benefits for people with erectile dysfunction (ED).
Boosting energy and endurance	Some athletes and bodybuilders use maca root as a supplement to increase energy and performance. Some evidence exists to support this.
increasing fertility	Another widespread use of maca root is to increase fertility, particularly in males.
Improving mood	Maca contains flavonoids, which some health experts believe can improve mood and reduce anxiety. A 2024 review of studies noted research from 2015Trusted Source that suggested potential improvements in levels of anxiety and depression from the consumption of maca root among a small group of postmenopausal women.
Reducing blood pressure	maca root could help improve blood pressure.
Reducing sun damage	Older animal studies within a 2021 paperTrusted Source seem to note the positive effects of maca root consumption on the body’s ability to protect itself against damage from UV rays.
Fighting free radicals	Maca root may also promote the production of antioxidant enzymes in the body, such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.
Female Sexuality	Maca may improve sexual functioning in women who are taking antidepressants. More than half of those on two types of antidepressants report sexual dysfunction that affects their quality of life and relationships. In one study, maca improved sexual interest, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction. Women who were postmenopausal showed the most positive results.
Overall Health and Energy	Some maca users say that it increases their energy, stamina, and overall health. In one study of people living in the Andes, researchers compared maca consumers with non-consumers. They analyzed the subjects using a variety of measures, including lab tests and a test of leg strength. Those who used maca scored higher in some measures.
Erectile Function	Maca powder is traditionally used to boost sexual performance, but clinical trials showing improvement are scarce. In one study, men taking maca showed more erectile improvement than those who did not.
