MACA - What is this?

Maca is a root that grows in the high mountain regions of Peru. Lately, I've started taking it for peri-menopausal symptoms and high estrogen levels. I must admit my energy levels are better and my general sense of well-being has improved. Perhaps it really does balance hormones as they say. If you're suffering from hot flashes, depression, low libido, etc. this supplement is supposed to alleviate all of that. Maca is very popular in Peru and Central American countries. Some doctors are beginning to recognize its benefits. You can find Maca at www.netrition.com
