Will I Have To Take MACA For The
Rest of My Life ?
No, since MACA is not replacing
hormones it is fine to start using the herb at any time and to stop without any danger to
the body. It is advisable not to use it continuously but to alternate periods of
taking
the herb with periods of rest from the herb to maximize the body's response to MACA.
For example, stay on 90 - 120 days and off 30 days might be a good rest period for the
body.
How Does MACA Compare to Other
Menopausal Herbs Like Black Cohosh or Other Women's Formulas ?
MACA may help provides the ingredients to
support menopausal health. The herb works through the hypothalamus and pituitary to help
insure balanced and healthy hormone levels in the body. Many men and women notice the
difference within a week! MACA helps promote sexual functioning, insures vaginal
lubrication, and, in general, brings about all the benefits of healthy, balanced hormone
levels in the body. Black Cohosh, licorice root, and soy products all contain weak plant
estrogens and have not been satisfying to most women. Many women do not feel a difference when they take these herbs or the effect is
not lasting. For this reason we feel
Imperial Gold Maca™
is a better choice and the results are quick.

MACA's Effect on Sports
Performance:
Maca
is very effective for athletes and active people. Workouts and over all physical
endurance and performance have increased dramatically with continued use. The head trainer of a major league
U.S. baseball team ordered MACA for the entire team as an integral part of their sports
nutrition program after using it himself and experiencing that it supported his energy.
Men who work out have begun to use MACA to promote stamina and personal trainers are
recommending it to their clients. Athletes notice a difference within an hour
and excel with greater endurance.

Can MACA Be Taken With DHEA?
Many people have used MACA with
DHEA and they have not experienced any negative reactions. But when they did
discontinue the use of DHEA they generally had the same positive effects without the use
of the hormone, DHEA.
How Effective Is MACA As An Aphrodisiac?
MACA's ability to act as an
aphrodisiac is well known. Ask almost any South American if they have ever heard
of MACA and they will probably smile back and say "Oh, yes, Spanish Viagra™".
MACA is not Viagra™, but it does nurture the hormonal system of men and
women so well that a
healthy hormonal balance is restored and the body can operate at optimum
conditions. Some studies have recently indicated that the reason for the libido
enhancing effect of MACA is due to isocyanothides and fatty acids.
Further
research is needed.

How Does MACA Balance Hormones
In Men & Women? MACA is an adaptogen herb. This
means the herb will work in the body according to the needs, age and gender
of the person using MACA. If a woman is entering menopause and is
perimenopausal, begins having symptoms related to a change in hormone production
such as fatigue, night sweats, dizziness or palpitations, it is very likely her
hormones are no longer being produced in amounts that can work in concert with
each other. For example, her estrogen production may be normal but her
progesterone production is unable to keep up with it. Or, as she begins
menopause, her estrogen production may drop off leaving her with too much
progesterone. Or the production of both these hormones could be too low for her
to maintain a good quality of life before and after menopause. MACA has been
shown to promote the body's production of the proper amounts of hormones to
maintain health. Even in men testosterone levels will increase, sexual potency
will be maintained throughout a
man's lifetime.

Are There Testimonials From User's Of MACA
?
Internationally
there are thousand's of men and women who have used MACA (Lepidium peruvianum
Chacon) Here is what some of them are saying.
How Effective is MACA For Fertility ?
MACA
has been known to increase a women's ability to conceive rather
dramatically. This happens because of MACA's ability to promote the production
of the Luteneinizing Hormone (LH). The LH causes ovulation. MACA has also been
shown to increase sperm counts in men. Research studies on animals were conducted
by Dr. Gloria Chacon and Dr. with extremely successful results in almost all
cases! (These studies will be published later on this year.)
Are There Any Side Effect's ?
After
hundreds of years of use as a food in South America and the recent extensive
increase in the consumption of MACA in this country there are no known side
effects. However, ongoing concerns exist about the species and purity of MACA
being sold. For this reason Imperial
Gold Maca™ is certified by
Dr. Gloria Chacon as the species and purity of MACA (Lepidium peruvianum
Chacon) and as having been grown in accordance with her discoveries 40 years
ago.
What Is The Difference Between
Other MACA
And Yours ?
other species of MACA like plants grow wild and at low altitudes in
parts of Bolivia, Argentina and Peru. The MACA like plants are then harvested
under less than optimal conditions with flowers and weeds that grow at these
lower altitudes. Not all Maca are the
same, with reduced medicinal properties they serve of minimal value. Because
there are numerous species of plant, the most effective is those grown above
13,000 feet above sea level where the mineral rich soil lives.
Imperial Gold Maca™
is guaranteed to be grown at the proper altitude of 13000 feet and above. No
other plants grow at
this
altitude.
Imperial Gold Maca™
is 100% pure premium
organic MACA root and is guaranteed to be the correct species and to
contain the alkaloids that have the medicinal properties.

Can Children Use Maca ?
Dr.
Gloria Chacon has performed tests over a period of time with the assistance of
Dr. Jorge Aguila Calderon and Dr. Freddy Madrid Gironda on local children in
Peru, with similar results as adults received. Children who had trouble with
attention and staying focused, were relieved considerably of these symptoms, in
addition, they become more alert and calmer.
What Is Standardized Maca ?
True
medicinal plants grow naturally and are available through harvesting and old
fashioned farming. In the last few years the term STANDARDIZED has come into
the botanical market place which is the laboratory version of herbs. We at
A Healthy Alternative, LLC believe
that pharmaceutical quality just doesn't agree with our all natural
philosophy, We use only the finest and best premium quality organic
MACA root, and that is
why
Imperial Gold Maca™
is so popular and effective.
