Maca strengthens your bones

Did you know that the bones in your body become weaker as you grow older?
Did you know that it is the menopause/andropause that causes this to happen?
And did you know that Maca can help strengthen bones?

Bone decalcification or osteoporosis
A bone can only grow if old bone decomposes and is replaced by new bone. Up to the age of 35 bone grows faster, after that age it decomposes faster.
When the bone no longer completely replenishes, osteoporosis is the result.

Causes
Bone decalcification happens more often in the elderly because bone production decreases drastically. A varied diet also plays an important role in the good health of your bones. Minerals and calcium are especially important for strong bones.

The foremost causes of brittle bones are:

• Too little oestrogen (in women)
• Too little testosterone (in men)
• Too little calcium

Maca strengthens your bones, because

• Maca increases oestrogen levels in women
• Maca increases testosterone levels in men
• Maca contains 350-500 mg calcium/100 g
• Maca is a natural adaptogen.
