Improves Infertility in Men and Women
Maca root is known to have many health benefits, but it can also help with infertility in men and women. Maca root has been found to improve sperm count, motility (the ability of sperm to move), and even quality. This means that maca root may help a woman conceive a child if they are trying for a baby. In infertile men, maca can boost both parameters significantly due to low-quality sperm count or poor movement (motility).
Of course, this doesn’t mean that maca will work for everyone who has had trouble conceiving. There are many other factors at play in fertility problems—but it’s certainly worth giving the herb a try. In women with ovulation problems, one of the most common causes behind female infertility, maca has been shown to increase the ovulation rate by as much as 43 percent.
