Maca is used for “tired blood ” ( anemia ); chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); and enhancing energy, stamina, athletic performance, memory, and fertility . Women use maca for female hormone imbalance, menstrual problems, and symptoms of menopause . Maca is also used for weak bones ( osteoporosis ), depression , stomach cancer , leukemia , HIV /AIDS, tuberculosis , erectile dysfunction (ED), to arouse sexual desire, and to boost the immune system.
In foods, maca is eaten baked or roasted, prepared as a soup, and used for making a fermented drink called maca chicha.
