Maca acts as an endocrine regulator and a general adaptogen, supporting fertility, libido, muscle energy, and resilience to stress.

The documented mechanisms of action

Improvement of vitality and endurance

Maca stimulates ATP production in mitochondria, increasing resistance to effort and muscle recovery.

Brooks et al., J Ethnopharmacol 2008 ; Gonzales et al., Andrologia 2012.

Hormonal balance and fertility

Macamides and macaridines regulate the production of estrogens and testosterone without direct hormonal action.
→ Better hormonal balance, increased libido, improvement of general tone.

Zenico et al., Andrologia 2009 ; Rubio et al., Evid Based Complement Alternat Med 2006.

Support of the nervous system and emotional well-being

Maca contains polyphenols and flavonoids that reduce neuronal inflammation and regulate the dopaminergic system, contributing to better mood and stress resistance.

Meissner et al., Phytother Res 2015.

    FAQs

    Are the effects of Maca scientifically proven?

    Yes.
    Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is one of the best-documented adaptogenic plants.
    More than 40 clinical studies have shown its effects on vitality, libido, fertility, and chronic fatigue.

    Ref.: Gonzales 2001, Rubio 2006, Zenico 2009, Meissner 2015.

    Research confirms that it acts on hormonal regulation and the increase of cellular energy, without artificial stimulation.

    Does Maca really affect hormones?

    Yes, but indirectly.
    Maca does not contain hormones: it acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, which naturally regulates the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
    Macamides and macaenes modulate this signaling, contributing to an overall hormonal balance without disruption.

    What is the difference between yellow, red, and black Maca?

    The three come from the same species but differ in their phytochemical profile: - Yellow: the most balanced, general tone and hormonal regulation. - Red: more focused on nervous fatigue and female balance. - Black: promotes male vitality and physical performance. Maca LIVLAB is a natural blend of whole roots, offering a complete spectrum of active ingredients.

    How long does it take to feel the effects?

    The first effects are felt on average after 2 to 3 weeks, with an improvement in vitality, resistance to effort, and libido. The complete hormonal and metabolic action is established over 6 to 8 weeks of regular treatment.

    What difference is there between your Maca and commercial powders?

    Our Maca is certified organic, without additives or solvents, and analyzed according to European standards: - Very low heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, As). - Pesticides and ethylene oxide: not detected (< 0.01 mg/kg). - Minimal microbial load (E. coli <10 cfu/g, Salmonella absent). A raw, living, and clean powder, compliant with pharmaceutical standards.

    Can it be taken all year round?

    Yes, but the ideal is to do cycles of 8 to 12 weeks, followed by a break of 1 to 2 weeks. This allows the body time to naturally regulate its hormonal mechanisms. In case of chronic fatigue, Maca can be taken continuously at a moderate dose (5 g/day).

    Is it aphrodisiac?

    Yes, but not in the sense of immediate stimulation. Maca improves libido and sexual response through better blood circulation, cellular energy, and hormonal stability. Clinical studies show an improvement in male and female sexual function without artificial stimulating effect. Zenico et al., Andrologia 2009.

    Can Maca have side effects?

    Very rarely. The root is well tolerated at the recommended doses (5–10 g/day). An excess can sometimes cause bloating or mild nervousness, hence the interest in starting gradually. No undesirable hormonal effect has been observed at nutritional doses.

    Why not take it in capsules?

    Capsules often contain heated or partially oxidized powders, and fillers. The raw LIVLAB powder retains all the phytonutrients, including macamides, responsible for the adaptogenic effect. In powder form, it is better absorbed and more natural to dose according to needs.

    Why choose Maca LIVLAB?

    Because it combines purity, traceability, and physiological efficiency: - sourced directly from Peru, certified USDA Organic / NSF / HACCP, - tested for 400 contaminants, - 99.5% grinding fineness, - no pesticides, additives, or chemical residues. A clean, active, and stable Maca, packaged in France under pharmaceutical supervision.
