Rich in Antioxidants
Antioxidants are essential for fighting free radicals. Free radicals are a byproduct of the body’s daily processes and can disrupt normal function and cause damage to cells. This can cause inflammation throughout the body, leading to accelerated aging, heart disease, and cancer. Antioxidants help stop free radical damage from occurring for longevity.
Maca root is rich in antioxidants that may benefit cardiovascular health by reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Also, it helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering blood pressure or preventing clots from forming in the arteries (known as atherosclerosis). In addition, maca has also been shown to protect against Alzheimer’s disease because it contains quercetin which helps prevent oxidative stress on brain cells caused by free radicals.
