What foods are incompatible with Maca?

Maca is a cruciferous plant native to the Andes Mountains in South America. The leaves are oval and the rhizome is shaped like a small round radish. It is edible and is a purely natural food with rich nutrients. It is known as the "South American Ginseng". Maca is rich in high-unit nutrients and has the function of nourishing and strengthening the human body. Do you know which foods are incompatible with Maca? Let me introduce it to you in detail below.

According to data from authoritative research institutions, no food has been found to be incompatible with maca so far. Although there is no such thing as food incompatibility with maca, we still need to pay attention to the following points when consuming maca.

Maca should not be taken at the same time as other tonics or nutritional supplements. Maca contains a total of 55 ingredients, including 20 amino acids, 16 minerals, 8 vitamins, 11 secondary metabolites and a variety of biologically active ingredients. It was not until 200 AD that the unique ingredients macaene and macaamide contained in maca were discovered one after another. It can be seen that maca is very rich in nutrients, so if you take other tonics and nutritional supplements while eating maca, it may offset the effect of maca. Moreover, the unique bio-bases macaene and macaamide in maca can regulate the secretion of human hormones through the pituitary gland, and many foods now contain hormones, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of maca.

Maca contraindications. Generally speaking, maca is more suitable for adults. However, for minors, pregnant women and breastfeeding women, it is best not to consume it because there is currently no clear data. Researchers believe that maca is not suitable for infants and young children aged 1-3 years old. This is because infants and young children are best fed with breast milk, and maca is difficult for infants and young children to digest and absorb. Maca is not suitable for breastfeeding women and pregnant women, as it may have an impact on the child. Although this impact has not been clinically verified, breastfeeding women and pregnant women are advised not to consume maca. Secondly, maca is not suitable for patients with thyroid disease. This is because maca contains a compound called glucosinolate. Since there is more or less iodine intake in the diet, glucosinolate combined with iodine may cause thyroid swelling, which will have a series of effects on patients with thyroid disease.

After reading the above content, I believe you have already understood that maca is not incompatible with food, but you should also pay attention that maca should not be consumed at the same time as other tonics and nutritional products. At the same time, maca is not suitable for pregnant women and infants. Maca is a natural plant. To fully exert the effects of Maca, it takes more than a day or two. The key is persistence.
