PureWorld Botanicals, Inc., South Hackensack, New Jersey 07606, USA.
Two new imidazole alkaloids (lepidiline A and lepidiline B) have been isolated
from a root extract of Lepidium meyenii with the common name Maca and identified
as 1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolium chloride (1) and 1,3-dibenzyl-2,4,5-trimethylimidazolium
chloride (2), respectively. The structures of these two new compounds were
determined by spectroscopic methods, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction
performed on compound 1.

Effect of Lepidium meyenii (MACA) on sexual desire and
its absent relationship with serum testosterone levels in adult healthy
men Gonzales GF, Cordova A, Vega K, Chung A,
Villena A, Gonez C, Castillo S
Instituto de Investigaciones de la Altura, Universidad Peruana Cayetano
Heredia, Lima, Peru
This study was a 12-week double blind placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel
trial in which active treatment with different doses of Maca Gelatinizada
was compared with placebo. The study aimed to demonstrate if effect of Maca
on subjective report of sexual desire was because of effect on mood or serum
testosterone levels. Men aged 21-56 years received Maca in one of two doses:
1,500 mg or 3,000 mg or placebo. Self-perception on sexual desire, score
for Hamilton test for depression, and Hamilton test for anxiety were measured
at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment. An improvement in sexual desire was observed
with Maca since 8 weeks of treatment. Serum testosterone and oestradiol
levels were not different in men treated with Maca and in those treated
with placebo (P:NS). Logistic regression analysis showed that Maca has an
independent effect on sexual desire at 8 and 12 weeks of treatment, and
this effect is not because of changes in either Hamilton scores for depression
or anxiety or serum testosterone and oestradiol levels. In conclusion, treatment
with Maca improved sexual desire. |

Maca is a cruciferous plant native of the
central Andean of Peru (above 4000 m.a.s.n.). It is known that MACA
is used since 2000 years ago as nourisment and medicine. As an aphrodisiac
for both men and women (those seeking heightened sexual prowess).
Native Peruvians use MACA to increase energy, stamina and endurance
(great for athletes), also to promote mental clarity, male impotence
and female hormonal imbalances. |

It becomes the most effective naturist medicine of
Peru, due to its high contents of proteins, essential vitamins,
amino acids, high quality carbohydrates and minerals. It is a revitalizer
ideal as natural dietetic component for children and adults. Important
geriatric action.
