In the world of health preservation, Maca seems to be omnipotent. Men can strengthen yang, women can supplement yin, and can also nourish and strengthen the body and delay aging. Do you believe it?
The looted Peruvian magic medicine?
In recent years, super food has become popular, and Maca is one of them. The Peruvian government first accused American companies of illegally filing patents, and then accused Chinese companies of illegally exporting Maca and biological plunder from Peru.
The last time Peruvian officials did this was because of cinchona seeds. Quinine is a specific drug for malaria. Its raw material, cinchona bark, became Peru’s economic pillar. In order to protect the economy, the Peruvian government forbids the export of cinchona seeds. However, the local government only peels and does not plant trees. Cinchona trees are becoming fewer and fewer. People are worried that one day when the skin is peeled off, there will be no medicine to cure malaria. After many setbacks, the Dutch planted high-yield cinchona trees in Java. Peru and Bolivia, which depend on resources for their food, cried.
Is Maca another quinine? It is quite exciting to search online. This thing is stronger than cinchona bark. It is both food and medicine. It is known as [natural Viagra] [Peruvian ginseng]. There is no need to worry about its extinction, because this thing and radish are a family and can be planted long ago. So good, let’s steal the seeds quickly. Not to mention this heart, Yunnan has been planted successfully for a long time.
The magic medicine depends on what fire? According to legend!
Maca is good because it is a kind of food, unlike ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis and donkey-hide gelatin, which can only be used for medicine. Such a kind of food has the effects of Viagra and ginseng, and can also be eaten as food. It is wonderful.
Really?
Whether ginseng has the effect of what will not be discussed for the time being. Anyway, it is mysterious. However, Viagra is really effective. Dare to call it [natural Viagra]. Maca relies on what?
Depending on history. Maca is used as both food and medicine. It has a history of at least 2,000 years. Andean Indians have eaten it and used it to cure diseases for thousands of years. Legend has it that it is not only exciting, but also can improve the ability of men and women, and also can improve the fertility of men and women. This thing was a secret of Inca aristocrats. It was later introduced into Spanish aristocrats and was not known to the world until 1960.
It is sheer nonsense to say that Maca is the secret of Inca aristocrats. The secret of the Inca Empire is coca leaf, which is entirely controlled by the king. The greatest glory of the aristocrats is that the king gives coca leaf. Why? Chewing. In 1860, an Australian chemist extracted cocaine from it.
Maca is a plateau plant, It has not been taken seriously, Not because the secret was saved, And no one looks at it. The Andes are the birthplace of potatoes. This is the staple food, Feeder, Maca is served as a dish, At the same time, it also feeds livestock. The reason why the fire suddenly broke out was because I didn’t know that what people made up such a legend of natural Viagra, saying that Peruvians rely on Maca to improve their sexual function and fertility. First the Japanese, then the Americans, and finally the Chinese. Finally, the fire broke out. Even many Peruvians were puzzled by the fire. Is this radish what good?
It is worth the price of radish.
Maca has a scientific endorsement, Since 2001, there have been reports that maca extract increases sexual function in experimental animals, but the results of fertility rate in animal experiments are inconsistent. These animal experiments have become evidence that maca is natural Viagra, and animal experiments can only be used for reference, while in human experiments, maca has not been found to increase male hormone levels in the body.
Peruvian scientists conducted a 12-week small randomized double-blind trial in 2002. Prove that Maca can improve sexual desire, But this is still quite different from Viagra, Sexuality is what the participants say, perhaps induced by the questionnaires, and it is useless to have sex without lifting it. In the same year, another human experiment conducted by the researchers found that sperm count and function improved after eating maca for four months, but this experiment did not have a control group and was still very small.
The other two human trials found no difference from the placebo group. Other studies are either ineffective or the evidence is weak.
Maca as food, the safety factor is higher, but this thing is not delicious, most people who eat it for the first time do not accept its taste. The safety of taking maca powder is not very clear, and some side effects are not necessarily the problem of maca powder. It is likely to achieve the effect of strengthening yang, mixed with other drugs.
Last sentence: Maca is just a Peruvian radish, which is worth the price of radish.
