Sexual Health for Men
Here are 5 powerful benefits of maca root for men, especially when it comes to sexual health, energy, and hormonal balance:
Boosts Libido and Sexual Desire
Maca is best known as a natural aphrodisiac. It stimulates libido by balancing hormones and increasing dopamine levels, which enhances arousal, motivation, and sexual cravings without disrupting natural testosterone production.
Improves Erectile Function and Stamina
Studies show maca can help improve erection strength and sexual stamina. Its effect on blood flow and energy levels may lead to better sexual performance and reduced symptoms of mild erectile dysfunction
Enhances Fertility and Sperm Quality
Maca has been shown to increase sperm count, motility, and volume, making it one of the top natural supplements for improving male fertility and reproductive health
Boosts Energy and Endurance
Often called “Peruvian Ginseng,” maca is used by athletes for a reason—it naturally raises energy levels and physical endurance, helping men stay energized both in and out of the bedroom.
Supports Mood, Focus, and Hormonal Balance
Maca helps reduce stress, anxiety, and mood swings, which are often tied to low libido or ED. It supports the HPA axis (hypothalamus pituitary–adrenal) system to help stabilize hormones and improve overall mental well-being.
ED and maca’s role
Nearly 50% of Men Experience Erectile Dysfunction — Can Maca Root Help?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects nearly half of all men in the United States at some point in their lives. While the root causes can vary—ranging from psychological stress and poor circulation to hormonal imbalances—ED remains a deeply personal and often stigmatized issue.
One natural remedy gaining attention for its potential to support male sexual health is maca root, a plant native to the Andes Mountains of Peru. Used for over 2,000 years, maca was a dietary staple among Incan warriors, who believed it boosted strength, stamina, and libido. Traditionally, it has been consumed to promote energy, fertility, and hormonal balance.
Maca root is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body naturally regulate stress and restore hormonal equilibrium. While maca doesn’t contain testosterone, it may support the body’s own production and hormonal balance. Research has linked maca consumption to significant improvements in libido, sexual performance, and erectile function. Many men in clinical studies have reported enhanced sexual well-being after incorporating maca into their routine.
There are three main types of maca root, each with unique properties:
Yellow Maca
The most common type, known for balancing hormones, boosting energy, and supporting mood.
Red Maca
Often used to support prostate health and improve endurance; may offer the most antioxidant benefits.
Black Maca
Believed to be the most potent variety for enhancing libido, sperm production, and male fertility.
With a long-standing history and growing scientific interest, maca root is becoming a popular, natural solution for men seeking to improve their sexual health without pharmaceuticals.
Using Maca Root Safely
Maca is generally safe but may cause mild side effects like digestive issues or insomnia in some users. Consult a doctor if you have thyroid conditions, as maca contains goitrogens. Start with small doses to assess tolerance.

What Are Maca Capsules?
Over the past 20 years, maca root (scientific name of maca lepidium meyenii) has gained in popularity all over the world. That’s because of the broad-ranging benefits that people report from adding maca products to their lives.
Traditionally, in the high-altitude Andes, maca roots are consumed whole (after being cooked). Outside of Peru, maca is most commonly eaten in powder form. But maca capsules are a close second in terms of typical ways people put maca products into their diet.
At the most basic level, maca capsules are simply capsules filled with maca root powder. At least that’s what they should be. Some companies use other ingredients including fillers, flow agents and other chemicals when filling their capsules. This is because maca powder is particularly hydrostatic and can easily gunk up encapsulation equipment if not properly stored and handled.
At The Maca Team, all of our maca capsules contain only 100% pure maca powder. In addition, the capsules we use are made from vegetable cellulose, are environmentally friendly and suitable for vegans.
Whole Maca Root Chips
Our black maca root chips are simply black maca roots that have been cut into small chunks. They are the closest to whole Maca roots that can legally be exported from Peru. That’s because maca is considered a “heritage product” of Peru and the Peruvian government does not allow whole roots to be exported to avoid them being planted in other countries. This is a way of protecting the quality and reputation of maca both for Peru and customers worldwide. And it’s proven to be important as an unlawful attempt in 2013-14 to grow maca in China was an abject failure.
Maca Extracts
Our maca extract contains the same nutrients and compounds of traditional powdered maca preserved in liquid form, making it much easier for the body to absorb. Our liquid maca extracts are made with our high-quality certified organic Peruvian-grown maca roots and vegetable glycerin. The drops taste good, are easy to take and provide the benefits of maca quickly.

Tri Color Maca
Tri-color maca root products are made from a blend of all 3 maca root colors: black, red and yellow.

In fact, maca root colors were not separated at all until the 1990s. Tri-color maca products contain a blend of about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots and are a great way to get benefits of all three colors.
