Maca Health Benefits
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is the root of a vegetable originating from the Andes region of Peru. It is widely used as food and medicine, sometimes to increase energy and libido. Maca’s main active ingredients include: Glucuronide.
Sexual health
Maca root supplements have been reported to improve sexual function and libido. However, the evidence on this issue is weak and reports are mostly subjective. In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, 50 men affected by mild erectile dysfunction (ED) were assigned to a treatment group (taking Maca) or a placebo group.
Hormone levels
Maca's effects on hormone levels are unknown. For example, some studies have found that maca has no effect on sex hormones, while animal studies have reported increases in luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and testosterone levels¹.
Health Benefits of Oysters
Oysters are a nutrient-rich seafood, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. They are especially rich in zinc, a mineral critical for male reproductive health. Oysters also contain compounds called oyster polysaccharides, which are powerful antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radical damage.
Possible Effects of Maca Oyster Combo
Taking Maca Oyster in combination may create a synergistic effect that increases libido and sexual function. However, there are currently not enough scientific studies to confirm this. If you are considering using a combination of maca and oysters to improve your health, it is recommended that you consult a doctor or nutritionist first.
Maca oysters are nutrient-dense foods that have the potential to have positive health effects. However, more research is still needed to determine whether their combination may provide additional health benefits.
