Maca for Fertility
Often referred to as an Incan superfood, Maca is a cruciferous plant native to the mountainous regions of Peru. It has been used for centuries as a folk remedy thought to benefit libido and energy levels.
Maca’s relevance to fertility can be traced back to Incan times, when farmers made the connection between their herd’s consumption of the Maca plant and increased fertility rates. Fast forward several hundred years and Maca is still considered by many as a potent, yet safe, fertility-enhancing herb with relevance for both women and men.
Maca and Male Fertility
One study examined the effects of Maca supplementation in men for a period of four months. At the conclusion of the test period, significant increases in sperm count, motility, and semen volume were observed. Animal studies with Maca have also indicated that it may benefit overall sperm health and encourage healthy spermatogenesis (sperm production). Many people also believe that men may experience an increase in sexual desire and function when taking Maca.
Maca and Female Fertility
It is thought that Maca’s benefit to female fertility comes from its ability to restore hormonal balance. In particular, it is believed that Maca may help suppress estrogen dominance, and encourage a favorable estrogen/progesterone balance conducive to achieving pregnancy. Many women also report an increase in libido and sexual function when taking Maca.

I started using this product September 2017 in conjunction with Fertilaid and the fertility tea. I used it consistently and per the directions, and on Thanksgiving morning I had a positive pregnancy test. This was after being diagnosed with infertility and prescribed Clomid, which we didn’t use, and thankfully did not need to.

This product is the best. I have tried to have kids for 5 years with no success or positive ovulation test. At first I had doughts and was afraid this would not work. But it only took me one month of taking this to get a positive ovulation test. Last year I was taking something different and the test was negative. But that changed when I start taking fertilityAid, Maca, fertilityCM, and ovaboost.. I have no more cramps, heavy cycle, blood clots, and now I have a high sex drive.. I thank God for this. The only reason I am not pregnant is because I have not had sex on my ovulation days. But I have faith I will get pregnant. Also, while taking this product I watch postive videos to get the negative thoughts out my head, eat healthy and exercise. No I don’t eat super healthy everyday, but I change how I ate. Just look online to see what food boost your chances of pregnancy, ovulation, and fertility. Make sure you drink plenty of water.. About 64 to 84oz of water everyday. Look online for fertility affirmation.. Exercise at least an hour a day. I promise infertility can be reverse in 60 to 90 days if you do all of the stuff I am doing. It can even be reversed in 30 days like myself.. There isn’t a such thing as I can’t, you can’t or we can’t have kids. Just make sure you go to the doctor and see if you have any issues before taking this product.. I am praying for successful pregnancy for everyone. You can do it as long as you are positive and committed to this.. Thanks you so much Fairhaven!!

I started taking maca to help regulate my cycle. Its only been a month so my body is probably still adjusting. What I do notice with take maca is that my energy levels have gone way up, I have more of a mental clarity, my anxiety and stress is gone. I do wish to get pregnant and been trying for about 3 years and no luck. I considering trying ovaboost and a few other supplements to see if it will work for me as well.
