WHY WOMEN OVER 40 NEED MACA
+ Tames meno bothers
Estrogen levels fluctuate rapidly as we enter menopause, but maca powder can help ease the transition and ward off bothersome symptoms such as hot flashes and insomnia by regulating the output of the hormone. In fact, researchers publishing in the International Journal of Biomedical Science found that women who enjoyed 1 tsp. of maca daily reduced menopause symptoms by 52%.
+Sharpens memory
Consuming maca powder can increase levels of acetylcholinesterase, a compound that enhances communication between brain cells to strengthen memory. In one animal study, researchers in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology found maca boosted levels of the brain chemical by 45%-a result they suspect transfers to humans.
+Tamps down pain
Maca powder helps tame inflammation and trigger cartilage repair to relieve joint aches and improve mobility. In a study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, subjects with osteoarthritis who consumed maca daily for eight weeks reduced overall pain by 62% and stiffness by 51%.
