Many women do not feel a difference when they take these herbs or the effect is not lasting. For this reason we feel MACA is a better choice. M ACA's ability to act as an aphrodisiac is well known. MACA is not Viagra , but it does nurture the hormonal system so well that a healthy hormonal balance is restored and the body can operate at optimum conditions. Some studies have recently indicated that the reason for the libido enhancing effect of MACA is due to isocyanothides and fatty acids.
Further research is needed.
M ACA is an adaptogen herb. If a woman is entering menopause and is perimenopausal, begins having symptoms related to a change in hormone production such as fatigue, night sweats, dizziness or palpitations, it is very likely her hormones are no longer being produced in amounts that can work in concert with each other. For example, her estrogen production may be normal but her progesterone production is unable to keep up with it. Or, as she begins menopause, her estrogen production may drop off leaving her with too much progesterone. Or the production of both these hormones could be too low for her to maintain a good quality of life before and after menopause.
