Maca study reveals increase in sperm production and libido

by Hethir Rodriguez, MH, CMT

Studies:

#1

Researchers at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, performed a 12-week double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in which active treatment with different doses of maca was compared with placebo.

Men aged 21-56 years received 3 g of maca. An improvement in sexual desire was observed with maca at 8 weeks of treatment. Serum testosterone and estradiol levels were not different in men treated with maca than in those treated with placebo.

#2

Another study was designed to determine the benefit of a 4-month oral treatment with tablets of maca on seminal analysis in adult normal men aged 24-44 years old.

Nine men received tablets of maca (1500 or 3000 mg/day) for 4 months. Serum luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, testosterone and estradiol levels were measured before and after treatment.

Treatment with maca resulted in increased seminal volume, sperm count per ejaculation, and sperm motility. Serum hormone levels were not altered.

——————————————————————————–

Comments:

Maca has become a popular fertility herb and for good reason. Studies have shown repeat success in improving sperm health, increase in sperm count and stronger motility. Maca also increases libido and sex drive.

Maca is great for both men and women!

What is maca?

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root-like vegetable shaped like a turnip that grows at 12,000 feet and is only found in the high Andes of Peru and Ecuador. For more than two millennia, native Peruvians have used maca root as food and medicine, to promote endurance and improve energy, vitality, sexual virility and fertility.

How does the Maca work?

It is not known exactly why maca does what it does, but that is the case for most herbs. Maca has the ability to effect key hormones and functions of reproduction without containing hormones. It has a type of wisdom as to what hormones need balancing and which to increase/decrease. Men who use maca have been shown to have an increase in libido and healthy sperm.

How do you use Maca?

Maca comes in powder, capsule, tincture or pills. You can use the powder in a fertility smoothie or with juice.

Dosage: Recommended dosage is 2000-3000 mg a day. To obtain desired results maca needs to be taken regularly. There are no side effects from taking maca, remember it is a food.

Hi i was wondering if this would help if i do not have my monthly cycles. I am not for sure why but we are about to go to a specialist and may cost lots of money. Medications did work to make me have my cycle as well as ovulate. Any advise please let me know. Thank you for your time

55 hethir December 6, 2008

Hi Jonell,

The good news is there are naturally remedies that can help bring back your period. Amenorrhea (or lack of menstruation) can be caused by various things such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalance. I created this guide to help teach ways you can help to get your period back.

how long does it take on average to help you get pregnant

85 Dalene February 23, 2009

Hi,

Maca taken regulary should increase your the health of your fertility within 3 months from the time you begin taking it. Do not rely on Maca alone, be sure to eat a Nutrient Dense fertility Diet and take a wholefood prenatal multi-vitamin such as Baby and Me Multivitamin, include regular exercise as well!

Best Wishes!

Hi Hethir – I am really interested in using Maca for fertility – I have been diagnosed with pcos though I don’t have a lot of the symptoms, but do not ovulate on my own… My doctor has me on clomid and metformin. Just wondering if maca is safe to take while taking these medications?

88 Dalene February 27, 2009

Hi Alicia,

We do not recommend taking any herbs while on fertility medications. There is not enough research to show us if the medication and the herbs will negatively react to one another.

Best Wishes,
Dalene

97 Christina July 2, 2009

Hello, my husband has an infertility problem, he underwent surgery for vericocele repair approximately 2 years ago. His count was zero about 1 year ago and we have not tested his count since. His blood work came back normal but can maca help him recover and help with promoting a count in his case? We are going to see the fertility specailist this summer to see what our options are but if Maca can help him in any way, I wouldn’t mind buying it for him from our health food store called “Healthy Planet”, they sell Meca there. Please let me know if he can take this product to see if it would help him.

98 Dalene July 2, 2009

Hi Christina,

A Varicocele is a network of tangled blood vessels (varicose veins) in the scrotum. It is a leading cause of male infertility and may also cause pain and atrophy (shrinkage) of the testicles.*

I am not a medical doctor, but according to my understanding of Vericocele you will need to have your husband tested again to see what is causing the problem.

I don’t think Maca is the best option for this kind of infertility as Maca is related to hormonal balance. Estrogen in men produces erectile dysfunction, low/lack libido, low sperm count, and lowered production of seminal fluid. Men who use Maca have been shown to have an increase in libido and healthy sperm. Vericocele is not associated to hormonal balance to my knowledge.

Please consult with your doctor to find the best options for your husbands situation.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

99 angela July 16, 2009

Can I find this at Walgreens, Walmart or another general store instead of having to order it off line?

100 Dalene July 17, 2009

Hi Angela,

I have no idea if those stores sell Maca. It is my experience with huge retail stores such as these to not sell products of the highest quality, especially when it comes to supplements. These companies are “big business” and sometimes their business practices are not the best. To keep their prices low they buy up huge amounts of low quality products often from countries with slave labor practices, not the best choice for you health. I recommend buying Maca from a source that has good business practices and cares about the health of not only you, but the entire environment. Most health food stores carry Maca. We sell Maca at our Fertility Shop as well.

Warmly,

Dalene

101 Joo Onye August 10, 2009

I am a man. I live in a country in West Africa called Nigeria. I have been married for 10years and im 40 years now. I have no child. How do i order Maca and how can i send you the money? Can i send the money through Western Union money transfer? Thanks

102 Hethir Rodriguez August 10, 2009

Hi Joo,

We do not accept money orders but some of our customers from Nigeria have a relative or friend place and order and ship it to them.

hello is maca just for women .can men use it as well

106 Hethir Rodriguez September 1, 2009

Maca is great for men, the above article explains why.

107 ying September 2, 2009

Hi hethir,

I ordered Maca and started taking it immediately buton your web site the recommended
dosage is 2000 – 3000 mg per day and on the bottle the recommended dosage is 1-2 capsule per day ( 1000mg) How much should I take daily? Along with it I am also taking
Women’s whole food daily multi and 2400 mg of spirulina, is this ok ?

108 Hethir Rodriguez September 3, 2009

I usually suggest to start taking 1,000mg and working up to 2000 – 3000mg as needed over time.

109 maryann hammond October 8, 2009

the maca dosage, 2000mg-3000mg daily, is this the same for both men and women? I noticed on a previous question you answered: 09/03/09 “I usually suggest to start taking 1,000mg and working up to 2000 – 3000mg as needed over time. ” I have 525mg cap., will it hurt if I start with taking 5 daily? what about taking royal jelly, spirulina, fertili tea (vitex, red raspberry, ladies mantle,green tea, nettle leaf, peppermint leaf), false unicorn root with the maca? I started castor oil packs today. Almost forgot, my husband hates to take pills/capsules, what other ways do you suggest to take maca other than a smoothie. Can you mix it with any liquid? thank you so much for taking time out to answer my questions.
Maryann

110 Dalene October 9, 2009

Hi Maryann,

It is always nice to let your body get used to an herb or new supplement before taking the maximum dosage. Easing into using this herb and seeing how your body reacts may be your best bet. More is not always better, nor is it going to make things happen faster. It can be stressful on your body to overload it with herbs all at once.

You can take Royal Jelly and Sprirulina with Maca. FertiliTea is not our product, I don’t give advice on this product, please ask the manufacturer of FertiliTea. You can mix Maca with juice, milk or oatmeal, hot cereal as well.

All the Best,

Dalene

111 sharon January 8, 2010

hi i will like to know when takeing maca how long it take to become pregnant will i have to take it for months thank you

112 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula January 8, 2010

Hi Sharon,

There are no gurantees you will become pregnant using Maca. No one can say for sure how long you will need to take it, every person’s body is different.

Optimum results are achieved after 3-6 months of taking Maca.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Celline,

Maca would really be good for anyone preparing or trying to become pregnant. It is a healthy food which can be taken daily. It can specially help women who are experiencing:

-Poor egg health
-Endometriosis
-PCOS
-Recurrent miscarriages
-Preparing for IVF
-Infertility due to stress

In addition, hormonal stability sharpens the mind and generates a sense of well-being.

Can maca be taken while on ivf treatment or is it an herbal supplement?

120 chung siew li February 6, 2010

Can you let me know if maca available/sell in Malaysia?

121 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula February 7, 2010

Hi Green Hope,

Maca is a superfood, but it is also considered an herb. Because it has the ability to affect key hormones, yet does not contain hormones itself there is some questions to whether it may affect your fertility medications for IVF. If you would like to continue Maca through your IVF phase please talk to your doctor about it and get an approval from him/her.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Is that book available here in philippines? and also i have an irregular menstraution maybe due to my inverted uterus, please help me how to become pregnant if im going to marry.thanks maam…pls reply to my email add…

124 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula March 9, 2010

Hi im anne,

I don’t know where you can buy this book, maybe you could do a google search of her name and book, or maybe Amazon.com sells this book.

Please talk to your doctor about your options for conceiving with an inverted uterus.

“When the words inverted uterus is uttered there is usually a hushed questioning that lingers after the fact. However there is nothing wrong with having an inverted uterus as it is just a different version of how nature decided to create you. Generally speaking the uterus is located in a different position rather than being upside down as the word inverted suggests. The uterus may be positioned to one side of the kidney instead of being on top of it.

The only slight side effect to having an inverted uterus is the extra discomfort and shear pain of child birth. Other than this it has never been medically proven that the displacement of the uterus can harm the person in any way, it does not lead to disease or complications within the bodies’ functionality.

Often medically known as retroverted uterus it is more common that the uterus falls behind the bladder which may put pressure on there at some moments. It is about 1 in 5 women that have this abnormality so there is no call for alarm if the doctor informs you that you have the condition. The abnormality may be genetic or there can be a shift in positioning of the uterus during a difficult pregnancy.

Because of the limited side effects there is little option for correcting the displacement because there would be a greater chance of damaging something of an operation was done. If child birth does become an issue there is the option of caesarean section to make delivery safer and easier. An inverted uterus may cause extra problems in childbirth for teenage pregnancies though this is often the case with young pregnancies anyway.”*

Self Fertility Massage may help to reposition your uterus.

Hi,

My husband has low sperm count & motility problems.

I have mittlesmertz ovulation, very painful. Will maca help or is there another product, I can take which will ease the pain?

I’m from Canada.

Thanks!

126 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula March 16, 2010

Hi Nana,

If you and your husband would like to learn what he can do to improve his overall fertility and sperm health click here: Men’s Fertility

For your ovulation pain- Self Fertility Massage, castor oil pack. Hip opening yoga. Is there scar tissue? Is the tube possibly twisted? Eating a less congesting diet – add juicing. Self Fertility massage may be very beneficial as severe ovulation pain can be a sign of a ‘cold’ uterus and ovaries.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi,
Thanks for the info on maca, i’m presently taking it with bee products supplements and spirulina. Pls, i’d like to know if all these supplements are safe to use in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Thanks.

128 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula April 23, 2010

Hi Esther,

Please consult your doctor if you would like to continue Royal Jelly and Maca into pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Some women choose to take these supplements during pregnancy, but there are some cautions so please get the ok from your doctor/midwife. Spirulina may be safe during pregnancy.

Best Wishes,

132 Gwendolyn June 15, 2010

Hi!
I wanted to confirm if Maca is designed for both men and women? Then, can we order from Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean? I’ve been to a Fertility centre for blood test and the result says that I have PCOS(Moderate).I lost 12% of my weight and I got my menses back regularly the last 3 months after 3 years of irregular and mostly absence of monthly periods.I’m 32 and my man is 29 .
My husband has low spermcount and he is condemned to IVF… Do u think Maca can do miracles to him for in the past I fall pregnant(about 8-9 years ago).
The doctor claimed that the high intake of alcohol and the smoking of “cigarets” is responsible for the low spermcount and he also said that the situation is irreversible.What are your comments about this?

133 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula June 15, 2010

Hi Gwendolyn,

I am not going to say that Maca can do miracles for your husband, though it may help if he also quits drinking and smoking along with eating a nutrient dense diet and getting plenty of exercise. I don’t know the extent of damage the drinking and smoking has caused your husband’s body, but I never say never. If he chooses to work hard at removing those bad habits and chooses to work toward healing his overall health I think he can reverse his sperm health to the healthy side. If you and your husband would like to learn the best diet tips, supplements and herbs for increasing sperm health click here: Men’s Fertility

We do ship to Mauritius, please read our international shipping policies before choosing to purchase products from us. Thanks so much! Have a wonderful day.

134 Mayra July 25, 2010

I am currently taking FertilAid capsules. Can I take Maca at the same time or should my husband be the one taking it?

135 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula July 26, 2010

Hi Mayra,

Studies show that Maca is safe for use by men and women. FertilAid is not our product and honestly I am not familiar with its ingredients, so I am sorry but I have no comment on it. You may want to ask the makers of FertilAid for advice on what is safe to take with it.

136 Theresa August 22, 2010

I have a high FSH level, unable to concieve. Will this help?

137 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula August 24, 2010

Dear Theresa,

Maca is a nourishing food for the endocrine system, aiding both the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands (all involved in hormonal balance.) Maca has the ability to affect key hormones in both women and men without containing hormones itself.

FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, is a naturally occurring hormone that is made by the pituitary gland in the body. If the FSH levels or either low or high, it is a clear indicator that something is out of balance within the reproductive system and may be causing issues with the couple being able to conceive. While FSH levels are used to determine if there is an imbalance, low or high FSH is not the direct cause of fertility issues, just a sign that their may be one.

Maca may help to support hormonal imbalance in general. If you would like to learn more about FSH Fertility and what high FSH means for your fertility please go to this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/fsh-fertility.html

Best Wishes,

Dalene
