Maca: Properties
Maca root is an excellent source of 100% NATURAL vitamins and minerals. Nutritional studies on maca indicate that it contains excellent nutritional properties: proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fibers; Vitamins: (B1, B2, B6, B12, ascorbic acid, carotene); Minerals: iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium. The approximate elemental chemical composition of the human body is similar to the chemical composition of maca, so it can be considered an "adaptogenic" plant because of its selective effects according to the needs of the organism.
Vitamins:
The vitamin content of maca, especially B vitamins, and C along with protein, makes maca a very complete food.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): It participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates for the generation of energy, plays an indispensable role in the functioning of the nervous system, besides contributing to the growth and maintenance of the skin.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Intervenes in the enzymatic processes related to cellular respiration in tissue oxidations and in the synthesis of fatty acids. It has an oxygenating activity of the cornea for good vision.
Minerals:
Iron: Mineral required for the production of blood and transport of oxygen in the body. In the maca a considerable amount of Iron is observed, reason why it has helped from ancient times to the acclimatization of Andino to the heights. Iron deficiencies are associated with learning problems in children; In addition they can lead to anemias; Characterized by frequent fatigue states, sensitivity to cold and low defenses.
Calcium: It is the mineral element more abundant in the human body, mainly in the teeth and bones.
Potassium: Very essential to maintain the acid / base balance required for efficient cellular activity. Potassium regulates the body's electrical activity (eg heart beats) and acts on the transport of nervous messages to muscles. Low potassium levels are associated with high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias.
