Can Maca Help You Conceive?

Those who have just recently learned about the potential of maca in increasing fertility naturally would like to know if maca can really help them conceive. What better way to prove this than a personal testimony of how maca helped a person achieve conception.

A working nurse had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years without success. When her doctor recommended her to drink Royal Maca tea, in two months she got pregnant and eventually gave birth to her first baby. In March of 2009, she was due for her second baby, also through the help of maca.

This is not an isolated case because another woman was also trying to get pregnant for six months with no success. She was introduced to the uses of maca for fertility through a health website and began taking it in powder form mixing it with her smoothies. She immediately felt positive changes in her body, with improved stamina and libido. After some time, when she went for a boob job, she was first examined as a protocol before the operation. The doctor said she couldn’t undergo any operation because she is pregnant. Maca can really help you conceive, as these two examples show. And they are not the only ones.

What Makes Maca Effective For Fertility
Maca is a root plant that grows in the high Andean Mountains of Peru and Bolivia. Unknown to the outside world, the ancient Incas were already using the maca root plant for food, medicine and in enhancing their sexual functions. It was only at the time of the Spanish conquest that the West got a glimpse of what maca can do in treating health problems and improving sexual functions. Maca is the only plant that grows in the inhospitable climate of the Andes Mountain. Experts believe that the extreme weather conditions plus the quality of minerals in this place are the reasons why maca contains its many effective nutrients.

Maca has many minerals such as zinc, copper,  iron, calcium, sodium, iodine, magnesium, potassium and many others. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca also contains high quality proteins and fibers such as lysine, aspartic acid, serine, etc. All these vital nutrients contribute to make maca effective for food and medicine. Maca is really considered a food and not as a medicine although it has many medicinal benefits.
