The concept of “hormone balance” has a great deal of validity. Hormone balance can mean a good balance between estrogen and progesterone and estrogen and testosterone.
It can also mean a good balance between the anti-inflammatory type of estrogen and the pro-inflammatory (carcinogenic) type of estrogen produced by your body. As long as your body is producing twice as much of the anti-inflammatory type of estrogen as the carcinogenic type, your risk for developing an estrogen-dependent cancer is greatly reduced.
Another critical factor in good hormone balance is a healthy level of cortisol in your body. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and is needed for the “fight or flight” response and general vitality. However, when the body is subject to chronic low level stress, typically it well develop a chronically high level of cortisol. This imbalance in the body has serious and negative consequences for health.
Maca root is what herbalists called an adaptogenic botanical, helping your body’s hormone balance which in turn helps support all of the structures and functions of your body. Typically, adaptogens work primarily through the adrenal glands: if you have good adrenal gland function, you are likely to have good hormonal balance throughout your body.
Royal Maca, because it is bio-energetically grown, because it is certified organic, because its roots are sundried and cooked –native Peruvians never eat raw maca—and because it is produced in a way to concentrate its properties is a particularly potent and reliable hormone balancer. As such you only need a very small amount to produce remarkable changes in your body.
