Recent studies have shown the benefits of Maca Root for issues with fertility in both males and females. This root, which is derived from the radish family, comes from Peru and has been touted for its use in helping couples conceive. It is considered an adaptogen whereas it works on the endocrine system by bringing the body back to a state of homeostasis. Some foods like soy products contain specific hormones such as estrogen that could further imbalance the body if estrogen levels are too high (or balanced but progesterone levels too low). An adaptogenic works with the body and brings it back into balance. Maca root has also been known to increase energy, build weakened immune systems, and regulate hormonal imbalances. Paired with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, the Maca Root is a great adjunct to Traditional Chinese Medicine for fertility. See the link below for more information:
