Pet Food Industry magazine spotlights the benefits of functional foods such as Maca HERE:
Maca is a super food botanical from the Andes that is a highly specialized adaptogen plant, containing over 55 natural and healthy phytochemicals, which may help identify metabolic, environmental, physiological, oxidative and emotional stress in your dog.
Maca has a history of use in Peru for animals for 3,000 years and has been widely studied for its nutritional and potential health benefits for dogs, cats and horses.
Reducing metabolic stress in our dogs and cats is important because it disrupts nutrient assimilation, undermines immunity and opens up susceptibility to metabolic diseases, including diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's and other metabolic conditions.
Adaptogens are a special class of phytochemicals that carry outread, repair and restoreactions in that they are naturally coded to help identify imbalance and then work to nutritionally and biochemically help restore your dog's body systems back to balance.
Maca is highly nutritious super food, containing antioxidants, adaptogens, free fatty acids, all essential and non-essential amino acids, alkaloids, protein, vitamins, minerals, lysophosphatidic acids (LPA), natural hormonal precursors, primary nutritional metabolites and secondary metabolites (which build your pet's natural defense system). Maca is also highly bio-available and easy to assimilate by dogs of all life stages.
Dog Love Maca may help regulate stress response and help support proper metabolic rates, along with cognitive, cardiovascular and reproductive support.
Its natural phytochemical content may help nourish gland health, especially supportive of HPA function (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal), which may help support proper hormonal response throughout the body, safely cross the blood/brain barrier to help protect cognitive function as well as may help counteract adrenal fatigue. Proper hormone production and glandular health is critical in the animal body since glands produce hormones which feed and help maintain cellular health in every one of your dog's cells, tissues, organs and body systems.
has been studied for its adaptogen content and ability to help stimulate, nourish and rebuild glandular tissue, including the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, which are the master glands in the animal body. The hypothalamus and pituitary glands help regulate all other glands in the body, including producing and maintaining hormones, which are required for every body system to operate properly. This process becomes more critical in cases of metabolic disorders such as Cushing's disease, Addison's disease and diabetes.
Maca is tonic in nature, helping tone and strengthen all body systems toward balanced and optimal wellness, particularly as it relates to building and maintaining energy, focus, and overall system balance.
Maca may also be an important support for some types of cancer, due to the presence of plant chemicals called isothiocyanates (ITCs), which induce cell apoptosis (cell death) related to cancer cell lines.
