The remaining nutritious powders include beetroot which is known for its vasodilation effects (widening of blood vessels) which increase blood flow and gas exchange, linked to improvements in strengthening and efficiency of muscle contraction, cardiorespiratory endurance (8) and improved resistance training performance (9). This, in addition to the remaining plant powders of cherry, pomegranate and lucuma provides a blend containing a variety of antioxidants, which have been shown to combat cell damage by oxidative stress (10), and improve high-intensity endurance and resistance exercise performance (11).
The maca plant is a plant native to Peru and for millennia, maca root has been used to aid various aspects of health and fertility. Maca root has become increasingly popular in the Western world in recent years and clinical research investigating the health effects of maca root is starting to grow.
In addition to its macronutrient profile, maca is rich in several micronutrients to include sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium (1). Maca was traditionally given to men to boost energy levels before going into battle; moving into the modern day, recent research suggests that maca could improve endurance in athletes and shows promise in reducing fatigue (4,5). It’s been known traditionally to boost libido and fertility which has also now also been observed in clinical trials, particularly in men (2,3). There are links to improved cognitive function (6) and mood (7), however more research is needed to explore these associations further.
