Lepidium meyenii or "Maca is an herbal product from the highlands of Peru that is used for sexual dysfunction. The use of Maca in men is safe with no recognized adverse effects. Placebo-controlled trials in humans and animals have suggested that Maca leads to subjective and objective improvement in spermatogenesis, sexual desire, and sexual function without affecting anxiety, depression, or locomotion. However, most studies are significantly limited by methodological flaws, small patient numbers, and brief treatment intervals. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
