For those who know and understand Adaptogens, say
that an adaptogen is nature's solution to sickness. To be considered an adaptogen, a plant must conform to the following criteria:
- The plants must be nontoxic and totally
harmless to the body. It must allow for continuing normal physiological functioning of the
human body without adverse reaction and easy
absorption
- The action it exerts on the body must be nonspecific and should maintain normal
body functions despite a wide range of onslaughts to the body ( i.e., stress).
- It should normalize body functions irrespective of existing
pathological condition and not cause or induce odd bodily behavior.
Unlike drugs which carry with them the possibility of side effects,
Adaptogens must benefit the body without disturbing it or doing any harm. Not many plants possess
adaptogenic properties.
Serious research on Adaptogens began in 1947 under the auspices of
Dr. Nicole Laserev from Russia. He reported on several indigenous plants that helped
increase the body's natural resistance to environmental stresses and later coined the term
"Adaptogens."
Most probably,
Imperial
Gold Maca™
is a wonderful
supplement to any diet. While it has shown the ability to increase stamina,
energy and internal body balancing so effectively. It is not replacing hormones
in the body, but nourishing the hormonal system,
you can start or stop the herb without any danger to the body at anytime. It is
suggested to
alternate periods of taking the herb with periods of rest from the herb to maximize the
body's response period. For example: on 12 weeks and off 1 - 4 weeks. Due to the
excellent effects of taking
Imperial
Gold Maca™,
most people find that they do not want to be without it for so
long and alternate it 10-12 days on and 1-2 days off. This will allow the body to readjust to an
improved level of functioning on its own.
Maca is an adaptogenic herb which means it adapts to the
bodies needs. The body will utilize and absorb what it needs with its brilliant
internal knowledge, and it absorbs only what it needs from this amazing miracle
herb. The usual amount eaten by native South Americans to maintain stamina is
2-10 grams
a day ( that would be as much as 12-14 capsules of
Imperial
Gold Maca™ daily).
These
folks work at very high altitudes above 10,000 feet above sea level, and have little else in their
diets that support them nutritionally. Yet these large doses of MACA have not
shown any toxic effects. Their are many adaptogenic herbs, but Maca seems to be
the most superior as future studies will show.
Athletes, bodybuilders and runners use
Imperial
Gold Maca™
in large amounts because of the physical stress they put on their muscles
and organs. They take about 5-8 grams a day ( 6-8 capsules ), 4-5 times a
week to increase endurance and performance naturally. These people may be the
exception, yet it is important that those using this herb understand that it affects
individuals according to their needs. Because
Imperial
Gold Maca™ is
an herb food the chances over over dosing is slim to none. In Peru, the native
Indians use Maca in everything they consume. For example a walk through the
Peruvian market place will find all types of Maca cookies, drinks, deserts etc.
