A: Not only is it safe, but maca root supports the health of the pancreas. Studies show that maca root increases the tissue concentration of a precursor hormone made by the pituitary called Insulin Growth Factor (Igf).
This hormone decreases as we get older and so it is extraordinary that we can eat a food (maca root) which will help increase the amount of Igf made by our body and used by the pituitary in the regulation of insulin levels.
