MACA

Maca is the root of a plant that grows in the Andes and is used as a dietary supplement in powder or capsule form. It supplies the body with iron and increases the number of red blood cells. Increased red blood cells allow stronger and more intense weight training as well as cardio workouts. It is rich in calcium and is great for bones and teeth.

Maca can be used to increase muscle size. It naturally increases the level of testosterone, improves mood, increases strength and endurance, and thus enables training with increasingly heavy weights.

Maca root also supports hormonal balance. A stable hormonal balance is necessary for recovery after training.

You can add five grams of maca to a shake before or after training. Before training, it will boost your mood and desire to train and allow you to train much more intensely. After training, it will allow a faster recovery from a hard workout.

People aged 16 and over can take maca with breaks of one to four weeks, not because of its harmfulness, but to change their training routine. Like all dietary supplements, maca also follows the goals and intensity of training. During the transition training week, when the intensity is lower, it makes no sense to take maca. Maca should also not be taken during anatomical adaptation training, which can last from one to four weeks, depending on the person. When doing hypertrophy or strength training, maca helps greatly in improving the quality of training.

Maca is an excellent dietary supplement in the hypertrophy and strength training phase. By adding five grams of maca to a protein shake before or after training, you increase endurance and strength, so you can work with increasingly heavy weights during training and recover faster after training.
