Father’s day is on Sunday the 18th of June this year, and if you’re still looking for the right gift for the father figure in your life we can offer a hint: celebrate Dad with the gift of maca!
With our quick shipping, it’s not too late to treat a special guy in your life to something good that’s good for him. There’s nothing bad about (another) tie or a monogrammed barbecue fork, sure, but why not give a gift that’s sure to have a positive, long-lasting effect on someone’s life?
There are lots of reasons you should consider introducing a loved one to our maca. This Peruvian superfood has been associated with a broad range of health benefits for centuries, harvested by inhabitants of the Andes for its reported role in boosting energy levels, stamina, and sexual performance. Our organic maca products contain only pure, sustainably-grown maca root. Whatever formulation you decide to try, you’re getting additive-free, non-GMO, Fair Trade maca root.
Black maca root in particular has been linked to increased virility as well as stamina. Is your Dad very active, or partial to strenuous activities like hiking or weight-lifting? In a 2009 study, researchers found that male cyclists who stuck to a 14-day maca regimen demonstrated clear improvements in performance speeds. There were similar results in subjects dosed with maca in anticipation of swimming endurance trials.
How can maca help the father figure in your life further his fitness goals? Maca has been linked to boosts in muscular hypertrophy, or development of muscle mass, as well as a reduction in physical fatigue, meaning it can help the consumer work out longer and achieve better results.
Maca isn’t just for fitness freaks, though. There are all kinds of ways maca can contribute toward overall health and wellbeing. Maca is a good source of amino acids as well as the secondary metabolites known as macaenes and macamides, which are entirely unique to maca. What makes them so special? In addition to playing a role in maca’s libido-enhancing functions, they also possess antioxidative and neuroprotective tendencies. Our Premium Maca products contain increased levels of glucosinolates, which are anti-flammatory and cancer-fighting agents, than our standard sun-dried maca formulations. And maca is considered an adaptogen, or a substance that helps the body fight off diseases by supporting physical and emotional wellbeing. It can even improve bone health!
It’s easy to think that a “health supplement” might make for a boring or even indifferent gift. But maca is so much more than that. Giving a loved one the gift of maca is a way to let them know that you’re thinking of their health and happiness. And anyway, maca isn’t a supplement, it’s a food. Why settle for a coffee date or an overpriced dinner when you can gift your loved one something they can enjoy for a longer period of time? It’s as simple as slapping a gift ribbon on one of our maca sampler packages. Just don’t forget to pick up a card on the way to the picnic this Sunday.
