I just read this on a site that I was actually getting info on their Liver Flush herb that I bought. I have maca and have used it a little but now I'm going to try to use it everyday and see how it works.
read this:

General name: Maca


Scientific name: Lepidium peruvianum Chacon; also known as Lepidium Meyenii Walpers

Sometimes known as: Peruvian Ginseng, Maka, Maca root, Maca-maca, Maino, Ayak chichira, Ayuk Willku
Description: The Maca root is a hardy cruciferous vegetable cultivated in an inhospitable region of the Andean Mountains at altitudes from approximately 12,500-14,500 feet. The part of the plant used for medicinal purposes is the root. Native Peruvians have used Maca for several thousand years, as a food item, and medicinally to enhance fertility in people and animals, for libido, energy and other medicinal uses. Maca is rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, and includes fatty acids including linolenic, palmitic and oleic acids, and polysaccharides. Maca is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress, and helps to return a dysfunctioning system back to normal balance. Maca can help the endocrine system, including the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas and thyroid. Because endocrine gland balance and immune system function are so interrelated, it often notably enhances immune system functioning.
