A crossover trial in postmenopausal women showed significant improvements in sexual dysfunction scores and reductions in anxiety and depression compared to placebo. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that maca (2–3.5 g\/day) can support hormone balance, reduce menopausal discomfort, and improve sexual function in women experiencing SSRI-induced dysfunction. Systematic reviews found a consistent trend toward improved sexual desire, though study quality and sample sizes remain limited. A meta-analysis reported that most maca studies (55\/57) showed positive effects across sexual health, energy, and hormonal support, but more rigorous trials are needed to confirm efficacy. Importantly, maca appears to exert benefits via non-hormonal pathways, distinguishing it from hormone replacement therapies.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResearch at a Glance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"72\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"115\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"351\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"64\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredient\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePopulation Studied\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudied Benefit(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResearch Link\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaca root (3.5g\/day)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePostmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrossover trial: Significant improvements in sexual dysfunction scores and reductions in anxiety and depression vs placebo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18784609\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eView Study\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaca root (3.0g\/day)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWomen with SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRCT: Maca may significantly improve sexual function and libido compared to placebo, especially in postmenopausal women\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4411442\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eView Study\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaca root (2.0g\/day)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarly postmenopausal women\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-center RCT: Maca demonstrated hormone-balancing effects and reduced menopausal discomfort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3614647\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eView Study\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaca extract\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSystematic review of clinical trials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo RCTs showed a significant positive effect on sexual desire in healthy menopausal women; effects independent of hormone changes.

In studies, women who took maca reported more desire, better sexual satisfaction, and less anxiety, even though their hormone levels didn’t change. This means maca may work by supporting the body’s natural systems rather than acting like hormones. Reviews of past studies have shown positive results, but most were small, so scientists say that larger, stronger trials are needed. Overall, maca looks like a safe, natural option that may boost energy, mood, and sexual wellness, but it shouldn’t replace medical treatment when needed.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Citations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrimary Clinical Research:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA double-blind placebo-controlled trial of maca root as treatment for antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction in women.
