I went on a mission to Whole Foods to find some natural remedy to my recent fatigue and slight depression. A nutrition specialist recommended that I try Maca which would help stimulate my adrenal glands giving me more energy. This is completely different than the typical caffeine/ephedra supplements which just stimulate your central nervous system. So I decided to give it a try. I picked up a tincture of Maca Magic Adrenal Lift then did a little research on Google about the Maca root.

It turns out that Maca is similar to a radish and was a staple superfood of the Incas which gave them stamina and vitality. A lot of studies have been done on Maca and have demonstrated very positive effects on health and well being. I haven’t been able to find Maca in it’s raw form, just powder, pills, and tinctures. But I’m excited about the health benefits that could be gained by consuming Maca. After consuming it for two days I feel like I’m already getting more energy - but this could just be a placebo effect.
