At least two
studies done by two different research teams showed that maca
boosts
libido in men. It is known that boosting testosterone levels in men
will enhance libido.

Many supplements marketed for treating ED and low sex drive include
maca root as an ingredient in their formulation. The good news is that
side effects of maca root
are not commonly reported.

seems to enhance fertility in men by preventing damage to the sperm. It

female rats
given maca produced more offsprings.
Researchers are continuing their studies to find out how maca enhances
the reproductive function.
