The Well-Kept Secret for Bone Health: Why Royal Maca® Bone & Hormone Support Stands Alone
By Viana Muller, Ph.D.
Co-Founder, Whole World Botanicals
Walk into any health food store or browse any supplement website, and you’ll find no shortage of products to support your bone health. Co-factors like calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, magnesium, and boron have become the standard formula for protecting your bones as you age. They are genuinely useful nutrients, and we include several of them in our own Royal Maca® Bone & Hormone Support formula. But here is what every one of those conventional bone supplements is missing: Maca root. Royal Maca Bone & Hormone Support is in a class entirely by itself, because it truly transforms your bone health from the inside out.
Royal Maca Bone & Hormone Support is head and shoulders above any other bone support product on the market — but it’s not well known enough…yet. So, consider this your introduction to a very well-kept secret!
Why Hormones Are the Missing Link in Bone Health
To understand why Maca root changes everything, you need to understand the hormonal foundation of bone health. Bone is not static. It is living tissue that is continuously broken down by osteoclast cells and rebuilt by osteoblasts. The key to maintaining strong bones is keeping this cycle in healthy balance — enough new bone being made to offset the old bone being removed.
What governs that balance? Your hormones. Specifically, estrogen in women and testosterone in men play a critical role in supporting osteoblast activity — the cells that make new bone — while slowing the activity of osteoclasts, which break down old bone. This is why bone loss in women accelerates so sharply beginning in perimenopause, when estrogen levels start to decline. It’s also why older men, as testosterone wanes during andropause, face their own bone health challenges. Here is what makes Royal Maca so remarkable: it works by helping the liver produce more precursor hormones — specifically, IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) — that support the entire endocrine system, including the hormones that regulate bone remodeling. Research published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine* confirms that Maca root extract stimulates IGF-1 production in human tissue. IGF-1 is the key growth factor that slows bone loss and activates osteoblasts to build new bone. IGF-1 also increases the number of estrogen and testosterone receptors and makes them more sensitive, so the body can better use the hormones it produces. Apart from exercise, Maca root is the ONLY way to naturally raise IGF-1.
No standard bone supplements will help relieve PMS or perimenopause symptoms, reduce hot flashes, or address vaginal dryness in women, because they do not support healthy estrogen levels. Those perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms are signals of low estrogen, and it is precisely that low estrogen that is also quietly eroding your bones. Similarly, no standard bone support supplements help enhance libido, improve energy, and protect muscle in men – symptoms of low testosterone in andropause. When Royal Maca® supports healthier estrogen and testosterone metabolism, it helps relieve those symptoms and supports your bones at the same time. The benefits are inseparable — because they share the same hormonal root cause.
The Formula: Hormonal Science Meets Proven Bone Co-Factors
Royal Maca® Bone & Hormone Support starts with our therapeutic-grade, certified organic Peruvian Maca root. Grown in the high Andes of Peru by our Indigenous partners, Royal Maca is gelatinized and prepared traditionally to maximize the potency of the Maca. Then, we add the proven bone co-factors that other supplements rely on exclusively: Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Magnesium Glycinate Chelate, Zinc Glycinate Chelate, Boron Amino Acid Complex, Horsetail herb as a silica source for collagen support, and Strontium. This combination addresses bone health through two distinct and complementary pathways — hormonal support from Maca and structural mineral support from the co-factors. No other product on the market does both!
Two Stories That Say Everything!
I want to share two customer experiences that, to me, illustrate the real-world power of this Royal Maca formula more clearly than any clinical language can.
The first is Joanna, a relatively young perimenopausal woman whose passion in life is running marathons and triathlons. About three years ago, she developed a stress fracture in her shin. Her doctor found that she did not have osteoporosis, and recommended Joanna take standard bone support supplements like calcium and Vitamin D. Eight months later, she had another shin fracture. Seven months after that, a third fracture. At this point, Joanna consulted a naturopathic doctor who recommended Royal Maca Bone & Hormone Support, at a dose of two capsules a day. That was over three years ago. She has not had a single shin fracture since!
The second story is perhaps the one that surprises me most. Terrence is a 62-year-old man, a handyman on his feet all day, but again, no osteoporosis. Here’s Terrence’s experience in his own words:
“I would like to share with you how I found out about the remarkable benefits of Whole World Botanicals products. A few years ago, at the age of around 50 years old, I had pretty bad issues with my feet. I kept fracturing my metatarsals. I work on my feet all day. It happened four times over the course of three years. My foot specialist was very concerned, and I had my feet molded for inserts for my shoes. This didn’t really help. So, I mentioned it to a friend who is a holistic doctor. He sent me information on Royal Maca Bone & Hormone Support, by Whole World Botanicals. I started to take just one per day, and I have been taking one per day for the last several years. Since then, I have not had a single problem with my feet. I don’t even wear expensive shoe inserts anymore. Thanks to my holistic doctor friend for his wealth of information, but especially even more of a big thank you to the wonderful products of Whole World Botanicals. I really don’t know what I would have done to cure the problems I had. I would probably still be suffering. At the age of 61 now, I can now walk and work on my feet all day without any problem. If anyone out there has any issues, with bone and hormone support, then I would highly recommend Whole World Botanicals.”
I still find it astonishing that Terrence has had such remarkable results taking only one capsule a day!
Both Joanna and Terrence were doing everything conventionally right and were still experiencing recurring fractures. What they were missing was natural hormonal support for their bones—and that is exactly what Royal Maca provided!
A Product in a Category of Its Own
If you are in perimenopause, menopause, or andropause — or if you simply want to be proactive about your bone health after 40 — I encourage you to look honestly at what you are currently taking and ask yourself an important question:
Is your bone support supplement addressing the hormonal dimension of bone loss?
If it isn’t, it is only doing half the job.
Royal Maca® Bone & Hormone Support is not widely known—not because it doesn’t work, but because nothing like it has existed until Whole World Botanicals introduced it! We’re proud to offer this unique Royal Maca formulation, and excited for you to discover how it can help you maintain healthy bones for years to come.
