Traditional Use of Maca

Maca from the Central Andes of Peru

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) prefers an intensely cold environment with lots of sunlight and gusty winds. Maca was first domesticated about 1300 to 2000 years ago in the Peruvian central Andes mountains, the location that meets all of Maca's preferences.  Maca was first described in 1553 by Cieza de Leon, who noted that tribes in the highlands of Peru used the roots of Maca to support their health.

Maca: Mustard's little brother

To many people, the word Maca still brings up a tropical feeling. However, the Maca family is located not too far away from where we live. Maca is related to the brassica, the plant known as mustard, as well as to rapeseed, turnip, cabbage, cress and watercress.

Health benefits of Maca

Maca can be classified as an adaptogen. These are substances that can increase non-specific resistance to disease and physical or psychological stress. Scientific research has shown effects of Maca on:

  • Sexual behavior
  • Mood
  • Fertility
  • Memory
  • Osteoporosis
  • Metabolism
  • The treatment of some forms of cancer

However, research on Maca is still in its early stages and the active ingredients responsible for its effects are not yet known. It has been suggested that the Macamides, the unique compounds from Maca that have not yet been found in other plant species, could be responsible for the increase in sexual behavior.(LINK: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184420/)

Symbiotic fermentation of Kefir (fermented soy milk) and Kombucha (fermented tea)

Fermentation throughout the years

Fermenting foods is something of all times, cultures and civilizations. About 30% of the human diet consists of fermented foods. This is not an unnecessary luxury, as fermented foods consist of a complete ecosystem of different compounds and nutrients that support and protect the microbiome.

Fermentation health benefits 

Research suggests that regular consumption of fermented foods may reduce the risk of certain cancers, it may support the immune system, it may protect the health of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract, and it may alleviate symptoms of Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

Probiotics and prebiotics

The fermentation process significantly increases the level of nutrients which are, in this way,  pre-digested into a bioavailable form. New nutrients are thereby created together with a wide range of metabolic and digestive enzymes, which are also sometimes called probiotics or prebiotics. 

Living culture symbiotics with Kefir and Kombucha

The products from Living Nutrition are made of a combination of the two most superior fermentation processes: Kefir, made from fermented soy milk and Kombucha, made from fermented tea. This form of fermentation is also known as "symbiotics". The following differences are found between symbiotics and single probiotics:

Probiotics

Symbiotics

Are grown synthetically in laboratories

Naturally fermented from plants

Only isolated bacterial species

More than 100 balanced and evolved bacterial species

Are attaching to maltodextrin, a form of sugar, to stabilize

Attaches to natural enzymes and peptides

Contains no digestive nutrients

Rich in nutrients for digestion

Synthetically manufactured

Certified organic

Prebiotic sugars or fiber added

Wide range of natural prebiotics

Many naked, exposed bacteria

A complete, living ecosystem in harmony with the digestive microbiome

Increased bioavailability due to fermentation

The above mentioned symbiotic fermentation process, allows nutrients to be enhanced from food rather than isolating and extracting individual components, which is often done when making single probiotics. In this way, the foods and herbs in Living Nutrition's products can be preserved in their natural and complete state, which increases their bioavailability and potency. This fermentation process also creates a whole range of new compounds that can support good health, such as enzymes and metabolites. 

Fermented Soy Milk in Living Nutrition

Living Nutriton uses fermented soy milk for the kefir fermentation process. In fact, sprouted soybeans contain a host of exceptional properties, including a unique balance of nutrients such as amino acids and polyphenols. After the fermentation process, these nutrients form compounds that provide wonderful support for the digestive process, the healing of tissues and for creating the optimal environment for a healthy microbiome in the intestines.
