Why is black Maca used - what does it help us with?

1. Antioxidant Levels

A study published in 2018 compared the functional biological activities of the 3 main phenotypes of Maca. The study concluded that the lipids and polysaccharides of black maca showed higher antioxidant activity than the red and yellow. The red was less than 10% behind the black and the yellow was about 25%.

2. Metabolism

A study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology in 2018 found that Black Maca extract prevents metabolic disorders by helping to regulate glucose, which is an important metabolite for humans. The brain requires about 50% of its calories from glucose, and red blood cells are maintained exclusively by glucose. This study showed that black maca enhances glucose production in the body and can thus support a healthier metabolism.

3. Sperm production

From 2006 to 2016, there have been several major independent studies on how black maca root affects both sperm production and sperm motility. The first major study, published in 2006, found that Black Maca was the only color that effectively supported sperm production in rats tested. It also found that, “black Maca affects sperm count as early as 1 day after initiation of treatment.” A second study from 2006 found that “…black maca increased epididymal sperm count after 84 days of treatment” in the male rats studied. It also concluded that compared to other colors of maca, “black maca appeared to have a more beneficial effect on sperm count and epididymal sperm motility.” Similar results were found in 2016 with an increase in daily sperm production. This study, in mice, found that sperm motility as well as sexual dysfunction were positively affected by adding black maca root to the animals' diet over the course of 12 weeks.

4. Memory

In 2011 two different studies, one from China and one from Peru, found that Black Maca helped laboratory mice improve their memory and concentration skills.

5. Bone health

In 2010, a team of 6 researchers reported that Red and Black Maca were found to be the best at improving and protecting bone structure, especially in mice that had their ovaries removed.

6. Improving mood, learning and concentration

In 2006, a Peruvian team observed that while all colors of maca were beneficial in reducing depression, black maca also improved the learning and concentration abilities of lab mice. And a more recent 2016 study by a notable and larger group of international researchers found that black maca improved mood as well as overall “quality of life.”
