What are the side effects of maca?

I believe many people are aware of the effects and functions of maca. It can help balance the endocrine system and solve problems such as male kidney deficiency, weak waist and knees, or impotence and premature ejaculation. However, some people are worried about taking maca, fearing that it may have some side effects. In fact, the side effects of maca often affect minors and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

First, let us understand which groups of people cannot eat maca. According to the verification of authoritative maca researchers, the following groups of people cannot consume maca:

Infants and young children: According to strict classification, infants and young children should be children aged 1-3 years old. Although maca is a superfood that can quickly replenish a person's energy, another function of maca is to enhance a person's sexual desire and sexual ability, which is not suitable for infants and young children because it may cause precocious puberty in children. From a plant perspective, infants and young children can eat fresh maca fruit, but health foods such as maca essence tablets are not recommended for infants and young children.

Breastfeeding women: Maca can regulate and balance the endocrine system. Endocrine disorders can lead to a series of consequences, such as rough skin, pigmentation, etc. In order to regulate the endocrine system, many women consume maca or maca essence tablets, which can effectively regulate the human endocrine system to keep it balanced, thereby achieving the effect of beauty and skin care. Maca does have this effect, but it is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers to eat maca because maca can enhance sexual desire, and whether the nutrients in maca will affect the composition of breastfeeding mothers' milk, there is currently no definite research to prove whether breastfeeding mothers eating maca will have an effect on the fetus. In this case, to be on the safe side, it is not recommended to eat maca.

Pregnant women: refers to women who are pregnant. During pregnancy, they generally stop having sex for the protection of the child. Maca can enhance sexual desire and improve sexual ability, which is not conducive to pregnant women to protect the fetus. On the other hand, there is currently no clinical proof that the nutritional components of maca will not have a bad effect on the fetus, but to be on the safe side, pregnant women are not recommended to eat maca or giant green maca essence tablets.

From the detailed analysis of the above content, we can know that, generally speaking, if maca can be used scientifically, it will not cause any side effects, but not everyone is suitable for eating maca. For example, if infants and young children consume maca, it is easy to cause precocious puberty. Therefore, if these unsuitable people consume maca, it will naturally cause side effects.
