Maca for Male and Female Fertility:
Maca roots grow in a wide range of colors, from very light beige to dark gray. Although maca farmers have identified up to 30 + ecotypes of maca, they are generally grouped into three categories: black, red and yellow.
Black maca root is the rarest of all the colors. It has been shown to have some unique properties including a stronger ability than red or yellow maca to promote sperm motility and volume. It also has been shown to have the best anabolic (muscle building) affect among all maca colors
Red maca is the second rarest and, interestingly, the sweetest tasting of the three colors. Research has shown that it is excellent for overall hormone balance as well as for prostate support. It is an excellent starting point for someone new to maca.
Yellow maca is the most common of the three colors and, for that reason, has been the most researched. It has been associated with a variety of health benefits.
Tricolor maca is a blend of all three colors available at The Maca Team.
