Increase Libido


I've been raving about this stuff to so many people lately. I must post. This is one of my new favorite superfoods. Traditionally this has been used in Peru for centuries to increase fertility in women. Maca Powder is highly nutritious and a natural aphrodisiac. It is given to both men and women to help increase libido.

"it is so effective in creating hormonal balance, many women use Maca to help with, menopausal problems, irregular menstrual cycles, symptoms of PMS, as well as a means to increase fertility. Men often use Maca to increase their sperm count, physical strength, as well as endurance. Maca, sold as a supplement, is quickly increasing its popularity among athletes, because it provides the strength and endurance needed for intense workouts and muscle building. Maca is recognized as a highly nutritious food and an excellent source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine. Maca’s reported beneficial effects for sexual function are likely to be due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients."

I think it has a slight nutty flavor. I put it in my multigrain waffles & pancakes. I also put it in my Cacao smoothie:

2 T. Cacao Powder
1-2 T. Maca Powder (2 if you're making the drink for 2 people)
1-2 Cups Coconut milk or Hemp Milk (you can find this at most health food stores (you can use milk *but don't if you're trying to get pregnant b/c it causes mucus lining in the uterus.
apx 1 tsp. Agave Nectar or use very little stevia (Natural sweetners, no sugar! both of these found at Goodearth)(add to


If you don't want to make this yourself come over and I'd be happy to make it for you ;)...Safe for Pregnant women who aren't giving their husbands any.

Georgia,You can buy this at "Real Foods Market"... It's on 8th North in Orem in the shopping center behind "sonic". Goodearth carries it but everytime I've gone they're always out of it so I'd just go to real foods. Yep, it works like a charm ;)Go get some so you can get some! ha ha haaaa ha! We miss you too.
