The Natural Alternative To Viagra

Viagra must be one of the best known drugs in the modern world and there are now many 'copycat' drugs on the market. Viagra was originally developed to treat a totally different ailment and its effect on the sexual performance of certain men was an accident, a fortunate one for both the men and, given the drug’s popularity, the pharmaceutical company that makes it. The effect is short term, lasting only a few hours, and the long term effects are not known. Neither Viagra or the other drugs in the same market have any effect on women women suffering loss of libido. Furthermore, anyone with a heart, liver, kidney and some other conditions, would be at severe risk if they took any of these drugs.

There is a natural alternative which has successfully helped both men and women in clinical trials. Maca is a plant grown in the upper Andes Mountains. It has been taken for many centuries by Peruvian women from early childhood. Maca increases energy and has a very beneficial effect on women undergoing the menopause by minimising and often eliminating loss of libido, hot flushes, night sweats, and irritability. The men also experience the same boost in energy and sexual activity, so much so that maca has acquired the nickname ‘Peruvian Viagra’.

Maca works by increasing testosterone levels in men and osteogen levels in women, resulting in a higher sex drive. A reduction in both these hormones is a natural effect of aging, and the reduction in osteogen is particularly evident in women during the menopause and the peri-menopause - the period leading up to the menopause.

Urology, the medical journal which first published the Viagra study has taken the unusual step of releasing the findings of a test of maca, a natural product. The study found that mice fed on the maca root extract exhibited a significant increase in sexual activity compared to others that did not receive maca. Other studies have confirmed the effect on both men’s and women’s libido and have recorded a significant increase in the sperm count.

Unlike Viagra and similar drugs which do have side effects and are too dangerous for a significant group of people to take, maca has no side effects and is 100% natural. It is also considerably cheaper!
