overview | maca extract is the main edible part of maca root, an annual cruciferous herb, and has high nutritional value. it is not only rich in protein, amino acids, polysaccharides, minerals and other nutrients, but also contains active substances such as alkaloids, glucosinolate, macafene, maca amide, etc. Related studies have shown that Maca extract has the effects of improving fertility, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, regulating endocrine and inhibiting tumors. picture: maca extract |
Physiological activity and health treatment function] | Traditionally, maca extract is used to improve fertility; improve sexual function, resist fatigue and enhance physical strength; anti-anemia; Regulate the endocrine system, balance hormones, relieve female menopausal syndrome; Anti-rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Because of these magical and unique effects, they have aroused the interest of researchers from all over the world. In recent years, Maca extract has been found to have significant active effects on anti-oxidation, anti-aging, immunity enhancement, neuroprotection, anti-tumor, anti-ultraviolet damage, anti-benign prostatic hyperplasia and memory improvement. Anti-oxidation and anti-aging: Maca alcohol extract can significantly improve GSH-Px activity in heart and liver and SOD activity in serum and liver of aged mice, reduce MDA level in serum and liver, increase skin hydroxyproline level, and improve lymphocyte transformation rate stimulated by PHA. It indicates that maca alcohol extract may exert its anti-aging effect by improving free radical metabolism and enhancing cellular immunity. A very important ingredient in Maca is a mixture of alkaloids. |
study on the effect of relieving physical fatigue in mice | in the exercise test of mice, maca extract had no effect on the body weight of mice. high dose maca extract [0.80g/(kg bw d)] could significantly prolong the weight-bearing swimming time of mice, significantly reduce the plasma urea and blood lactic acid contents after swimming, and not significantly increase liver glycogen reserve. The functional components of Maca extract can quickly remove blood lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen produced by exercise in mice, and have the biological effect of relieving fatigue. |
