Maca is high in nutrients such as essential amino acids, iron, iodine, and other minerals.[1] Although maca has been widely marketed for improving reproductive and sexual health, there is no strong research supporting its use for these goals. Limited evidence suggests that maca may improve sexual desire[2] and alleviate antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction.[3] Maca might also improve mood[4][5] and improve some semen parameters in men.[6]
