The only product on the market that combines Camu-Camu and Maca root concentrates.

As soon as a young woman begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca^®. For teenagers and women who are petite or sensitive, Royal Maca^® can be overstimulating unless they take a tiny amount. The combination of Royal Maca^® and Royal Camu^® in the proportions in SHE^TM works much better for these women than either one separately. The formula in SHE^TM has proven to be very effective for relief from symptoms caused by hormone imbalance.

DEFINITION OF PETITE / SENSITIVE

If your height is less than 5’3” (regardless of weight) or you weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height), you fit into the “petite” category. This is true even if you are 5’2” and weight 200 pounds.

If you are sensitive in general or usually take less than the normal dosage of supplements and prescription drugs, you likely fit in the “sensitive” category.

Dosing for Petite/Sensitive people is included on all Whole World Botanicals Royal Maca^® product labels.

Maca Increases Tissue Levels of IGF-1Maca root was shown in a 2004 study at Albany Medical College to increase tissue levels of Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a naturally occurring precursor hormone made by the liver. IGF-1 decreases as we age. IGF-1 impacts many parts of the body:

Hormone balancing for women with a menstrual cycle, in perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and into old age
- Including sexual function, libido, reproductive health, relief from PMS and painful periods, and bone density support
Promotes libido, erectile function, and healthy reproductive function in men
Supports collagen-based structures, which include bone, muscles, hair, nails, skin
Supports neurotransmitter hormones including those required for optimum mood, sleep, and cognitive function
Promotes healthy endocrine gland function (thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries)

Therapeutic Grade of Maca

Royal Maca ^® is organically grown and processed in Peru. Of all Maca sold in the U.S., 70 – 80% is grown in China and is of inferior quality.
Royal Maca ^® is a therapeutic-grade Maca product, not a recreational food product.
Royal Maca ^® is a life-changing alternative to testosterone therapy for men and hormone replacement therapy for women. It supports hormonal health in young women including reproductive health and beautiful skin.
Because of the high potency of Royal Maca ^®, correct dosage must be determined with Whole World Botanicals’ guidelines (see below). Free individual consultations are available for customers. Contact us.
Royal Maca^® is the most potent and economical Maca product on the market. Other products are commonly a one-month supply with a serving size of one teaspoon (or more). Royal Maca^® powder comes in two sizes, 57g (67 servings) and 175g (210 servings), with a serving size of 1/3 teaspoon. Note the number of servings – the small bottle will last over two months and the larger bottle will last over 6 months at the normal dosage.

Why is Camu-Camu in this Formula?

Camu-Camu is a non-citrus rainforest fruit that grows wild in the Amazon River Basin of Peru. It is the most potent food-sourced Vitamin C on the planet. Royal Camu^® is standardized to 8-10% Natural Vitamin C Complex and powerful antioxidant flavonol glycosides, derived from the Camu-Camu fruit. It has been shown to help with pain Relief, mood balance and strengthening the immune system. Many customers report it also helps buffer the powerful, sometimes overstimulating, effects of Royal Maca^®.

Dosing Considerations

Click on the Situation that Best Represents You

Female – Teenager to Young Adult

As soon as a female begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca^{^®} for relief from heavy/painful periods, supporting a regular menstrual cycle, supporting mood balance, relieving PMS symptoms, supporting fertility and healthy reproductive function, promoting post-partum mood balance, promoting healthy skin (reducing acne), boosting energy, and helping to dissolve ovarian cysts.*

Follow the directions on the bottle (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with the recommended 2 capsules daily. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles and stay on that until they enter the perimenopause phase of life.

Most teenagers fall into the petite/sensitive category where they are shorter than 5’3″ (regardless of weight) or weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height). If they are particularly small or sensitive, consider starting with one capsule per day and evaluate after one menstrual cycle as described above.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Female – Petite

This product was made just for you! If your height is less than 5’3” (regardless of weight) or you weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height), you fit into the “petite” category. This is true even if you are 5’2” and weight 200 pounds.

Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with the recommended 2 capsules daily. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, and then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles. You will stay on that amount until you enter the perimenopause phase of life.

Not Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with the recommended 2 capsules daily. Evaluate symptoms after 5 days. If symptoms are 80% better, the dosage is right. If symptoms are 50% better or less, increase daily dosage by one more capsule and stay at that dose for 5 days. Evaluate symptoms again. If symptoms are now 80% better, the dosage is right. If not, keep increasing daily dosage by one capsule every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. If symptoms worsen, you may need to reduce the dosage according to the 5-day evaluation process.

Female – Sensitive

This product was made just for you! If you know that you usually take less than the normal dosage of other supplements or are just sensitive in general, finding the right dose for you may be challenging because the high potency of Royal Maca^® may overstimulate your system. Also, if you have a hard time taking prescription drugs or even herbal supplements at the “normal” dosage, you fit the “sensitive” category.

Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with the recommended 2 capsules daily.

Female – Menstruating

Follow the directions on the bottle. If you are not petite or sensitive, consider starting with 2 capsules. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, and then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles. You will stay on that amount until you enter the perimenopause phase of life.

If you are taking more than 4 capsules of SHE™ per day or feel like you need more Royal Maca^® to achieve hormone balance, consider switching to our unisex product called Royal Maca^® Vitality-Libido-Balance, which has 1200 mg of Royal Maca^® in two capsules.

If you are at risk for breast cancer or are extremely estrogen-dominant, consider Royal Maca^® Plus for Women with DIM. This product has been beneficial for many who struggle to get their dosing correct with Royal Maca^® powder or capsules.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Female – Starting Menopause (a.k.a. perimenopause)

Perimenopause is a period of several to many years when estrogen and progesterone levels are dropping in a woman’s body creating symptoms of estrogen dominance first and then of estrogen depletion. Royal Maca^® offers excellent symptom relief for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of perimenopause. In Phase 1, symptoms of estrogen-dominance may include very painful periods, flooding periods, endometriosis, breast cysts, fibroid tumors, and painful breasts. In Phase 2, symptoms of estrogen depletion may include migraines, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, brain fog, depression, urinary urgency/frequency, and heart palpitations.

SHE™ may not contain enough Royal Maca^® to bring balance to your system during these phases. Consider taking 2 capsules of Royal Maca^® Vitality Libido Balance each morning if you are still menstruating and having hot flashes. If you have no period, you can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. As you transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of perimenopause, and develop hot flashes or other symptoms, you may need to increase your dosage. After a year of no periods, you may find that you need to increase your dosage again. The way your body feels should always be your guide.

You may also consider our Royal Maca^® for Perimenopause, which is specifically designed for perimenopausal women and contains magnesium and zinc, providing additional support for this phase of life.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Female - In Menopause with Symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.)

Women who have had no period for 12 months (or longer) are considered “menopausal” (often called post menopausal).

If you are in that category and are having symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.), SHE^TM may not contain enough Royal Maca^® to bring balance to your system. Consider starting with 3-4 capsules of Royal Maca^® Vitality Libido Balance. You can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. The way your body feels should always be your guide.

Our product called Royal Maca^® for Menopause contains Royal Maca^® powder in capsules. The label also gives detailed dosing instructions that you can follow.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Female - In Menopause without Symptoms

Women who have had no period for 12 months (or longer) are considered “menopausal” (often called post menopausal).

If you are in that category and are not having symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.), SHE™ may not contain enough Royal Maca^® to bring balance to your system. Consider starting with 2-3 capsules of Royal Maca^® Vitality Libido Balance. You can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. The way your body feels should always be your guide.

Our product called Royal Maca^® for Menopause contains Royal Maca^® powder in capsules. The label also gives detailed dosing instructions that you can follow.

Typically, after 3 months, 6 months or even a year or longer, you may notice previous symptoms (like hot flashes) beginning to return or you may develop a side-effect like irritability or insomnia. When this happens, you need to first STOP taking Royal Maca^® for 2 days, and then REDUCE your daily dosage. This will avert being overstimulated by the potency of Royal Maca^® after your body has achieved a better hormone balance of its own.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Female - Taking HRT or other estrogenic substance

To begin the transition to Royal Maca^®, you must first stop taking the HRT, bio-identical hormones or other estrogenic elements cold turkey. To decrease the number and severity of hot flashes that may return and to prevent menopausal depression and assist sleep, start taking Royal Camu^® – one teaspoon (5 capsules), 3 times per day between meals for 4 weeks. Royal Camu^® at this dosage will usually reduce hot flashes by 60-70%. After 4 weeks, start taking Royal Maca^® according to the directions on the bottle and reduce Royal Camu^® to 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily.

SHE™ may not contain enough Royal Maca^® to bring balance to your system unless you are petite or sensitive.

If you have questions about dosing, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

Taking Too Much Royal Maca^® for Your Body can be Unbalancing

Your goal with Royal Maca^® is to find your MED – minimum effective dosage. Maca root has adaptogenic-like effects appropriate for both gender and age. As each person is physiologically different, you may need to experiment a little, taking the same dosage for 5 to 7 days before changing the amount.

Because of the therapeutic potency of Royal Maca^®, it can be unbalancing if you take too much for your body. Over-stimulation is hormone-unbalancing. If you develop any side effects after taking Royal Maca^® for a few days or longer, stop taking the product for two days, and then resume at a lower dosage (see below for possible side effects). These symptoms go away quickly when you stop the product briefly and resume taking it at a lower dosage.

Possible side effects of taking too much Royal Maca^®:

Women may experience an increase in hot flashes or night sweats, or breast tenderness. Their menstrual period may have too much bleeding, too long a period or the cycle may shorten.
Men may experience a decrease in libido and sexual function or desire.
Men and women may experience fatigue, headaches, feeling jittery, anxious or not sleeping well.
If you experience any allergic-type reaction, such as itching, swelling, redness, rash, nausea, or vomiting, stop taking Royal Maca^® and consider taking adequate amounts of Royal Camu^® for partial relief of hormone issues.

For any of the above symptoms, except for allergic-type reactions, simply stop taking Royal Maca^® for two days and then start again at a reduced amount.

Directions

SHE^TM is best taken in the morning with a meal. Follow the directions on the label.

Contraindications

Do not combine Royal Maca^® with any form of testosterone or estrogen, including HRT, phytoestrogenic herbs such as black cohosh, motherwort, red clover, etc., or with estrogen precursors such as pregnenolone or DHEA.
Women should stop using estrogenic supplements for 4 weeks before starting use of Royal Maca^®.
Usually does not combine well with ginseng and other adaptogenic botanicals.
Do not use Maca if you are taking Tamoxifen^® for breast cancer or Lupron^® for prostate cancer.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing.

Why combine Royal Maca^® with Royal Camu^®?

Many customers report that Royal Camu^® helps buffer the powerful, sometimes overstimulating, effects of Royal Maca^®. This makes it an excellent product for people who are petite or sensitive.

As soon as a young woman begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca^®. For teenagers and women who are petite or sensitive, Royal Maca^® can be overstimulating unless they take a tiny amount. The formula in SHE™ is designed to help those women by providing a very small amount of Maca powder concentrate for hormone balance along with Camu-Camu for mood balance and pain relief.

Since this is a serious Maca with superior results in reducing PMS, perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, supporting improved libido, you will want to experiment toarrive at your minimum effective dosage and then take it every day to achieve your optimum results. The same guidelines apply for people taking Royal Maca^® for energy improved thyroid, adrenal, or pancreatic function, and for hair, nail and bone growth.

Is SHE™ a good product for teenagers?

Teenage girls love SHE™! Customers tell us it creates a sense of well-being and helps teenage girls cope with high stress. It also helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, alleviate PMS symptoms and painful periods, along with reducing teenage acne.*

Who qualifies as petite and/or sensitive?

Petite

5’3” or shorter – weight does not matter
115 pounds or less – height does not matter

Sensitive

Sensitive women, who may be tall, will develop side effects with pharmaceuticals and herbal products taken at the regular dosage
The sensitive woman finds that Royal Maca^® products are generally “too strong” or powder dose is too tiny to get the dose “right”

Both petite women and many teenage girls, still undergoing the changes of puberty, will tend to be sensitive and need a smaller dose of Royal Maca^®.

The amount of Royal Maca^® in one SHE™ capsule is only ¼ the amount in one capsule of Royal Maca^® Vitality Libido Balance or Royal Maca^® for Menopause. The 300 mg of Royal Camu^® in SHE™ also helps with hormone and mood balance.

Why is maltodextrin added to the Royal Camu^® in this product?

The Royal Camu^® Light powder in the capsules is produced by spray drying Camu-Camu pulp with a certified organic, non-GMO maltodextrin medium to stabilize the high Vitamin C content. The maltodextrin is a starch made from corn. Without this stabilization, the Vitamin C would quickly lose its potency. Whole World Botanicals is the only company that guarantees the potency of its Camu-Camu product and maltodextrin is part of the reason.

Is there a difference between Peruvian and Chinese Maca?

Up to 80% of Maca available in the United States is now sourced in China because of the illegal export of Maca root seeds from Peru. Maca roots in China are often grown at lower elevations in unknown soil and air conditions. The only way to know the difference is to know the procurement processes of the company from which you purchase your Maca. Be assured, Royal Maca^® will always come from Peru.

Does the color of the Maca root skin matter?

One company continues to insist, with no independent research to back it up, that the color of Maca root matters as to how Maca root affects the hormones of men and women. Growers planted entire fields with seed from black Maca and red Maca that, when harvested, produced Maca roots of different colors. This means the colors of the skins do not reflect a genetic difference. Skin color is apparently dependent on variations in chemical composition of the soil in a particular field. No unsponsored research has ever shown that pigments have hormonal effects. Peruvians traditionally do not separate the roots by color either.

Why is sun-drying important?

Sun-drying is the traditional way to process Maca root in Peru. Phytochemicals essential for Maca’s hormone balancing power and anti-cancer properties, isothiocyanates, can only develop with sun-drying. Maca roots are left to dry in the sun for 6-8 weeks after harvest. Machine drying in a few hours has become the norm with almost all companies, resulting in a weaker Maca. Royal Maca^® is sun-dried.

What is gelatinization?

Gelatinization is a form of heating at high temperature under pressure for a few seconds. This process involves soaking the roots in hot water until softened and then extruding the roots under pressure at a high heat for a few seconds. Gelatinization is unfortunate name for the process because it makes people think that the Maca powder contains gelatin. There are no animal products in Royal Maca^®; it is a vegan product.

Why is gelatinization important?

Gelatinization does several things to dried Maca roots:

Eliminates toxic enzymes that inhibit digestion and assimilation
Reduces carbohydrate content by 50% producing a potent powder concentrate
Reduces moisture content by 20%
Preserves all of the secondary metabolites created during sun-drying that are responsible for the hormone-balancing effects of Maca root

Royal Maca^® is gelatinized.

What’s wrong with raw Maca?

Maca in its raw form contains a digestion-inhibiting enzyme that is toxic and can cause serious stomach and intestinal distress. Some companies that sell raw Maca are adding digestive enzymes to help customers digest the toxin. Raw Maca has been shown to be ineffective for hormone balancing. In fact, it is so weak that it is not commonly used in scientific studies. One animal study shows it causes low birth rate and growth rate in mice. Raw Maca requires large doses (1 teaspoon or more) to have any effect at all. It also is more expensive per serving for the consumer. Peruvians never eat raw Maca.

Are there any contraindications when taking Royal Maca^®?

Do not combine Royal Maca^® with any form of testosterone or estrogen, including HRT, phytoestrogenic herbs such as black cohosh, motherwort, red clover, etc., or with estrogen precursors such as pregnenolone, DHEA, or Vitex.
Women should stop using estrogenic supplements for 4 weeks before starting use of Royal Maca^® and may use generous amounts of Royal Camu^® to alleviate symptoms during the 4-week transition period.
Usually does not combine well with ginseng and other adaptogenic botanicals
Do not use Maca if you are taking Tamoxifen^® for breast cancer or Lupron^® for prostate cancer
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing

Is it necessary for me to take breaks after taking Royal Maca^® for an extended period of time?

Misinformation exists on the Internet about the need to take periodic, long breaks from taking therapeutic Maca root. However, for women who need a consistent daily dose, taking a break may be beneficial if the product becomes less effective over time or side-effects develop (such as hot flashes), take a two-day break and then reduce your daily dosage.

Men can take Royal Maca^® to promote healthy sexual function on an “as needed” basis. If desired, a man may take Royal Maca^® every other day, twice weekly, once a week, etc. If a man likes, the dose may be based on amount needed to produce same-day effect. Other men will prefer consistent effects of a smaller dose with every day usage to support energy, mood, sleep, etc., in addition to sexual energy and function. If a man sees a decrease in the desired effects, he is likely taking too much Royal Maca^®. He could take a break for a couple of days and then take the product again at a lower dosage.

What time of the month should a woman with regular menstrual periods start taking Royal Maca^®?

The best time to start is right after her period begins or within the first week of the period. However, if she starts mid-cycle, the other benefits of taking Royal Maca^® such as a boost to energy, collagen structure support (hair, skin, nails), will begin to take effect as she begins taking the best dose for her. It is after taking Royal Maca^® for a full cycle that a woman can best determine how it is affecting her hormone balance.

Will Royal Maca^® be effective to prevent hot flashes in women who have had a hysterectomy?

Yes, Royal Maca^® can be very beneficial in that situation. The adrenal glands are a back-up system for the ovaries and produce small amounts of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone throughout a woman’s lifetime. Royal Maca^® supports adrenal glands to make more sex hormones. It helps the body make more estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and their receptors.

How do I transition from taking HRT, bio-identical hormones, or other estrogenic elements to Royal Maca^®?

To begin the transition to Royal Maca^®, you must first stop taking the HRT, bio-identical hormones or other estrogenic elements cold turkey. Start taking Royal Camu^® – one teaspoon (5 capsules), 3 times per day between meals for 4 weeks. Royal Maca^® at this dosage will usually reduce hot flashes by 60-70%. After 4 weeks, start taking Royal Maca^® according to the directions on the bottle and reduce Royal Camu^® to 1/2-1 teaspoon daily.

If you have questions or concerns about this, you may email the Product Educator for fastest response, or call our Product Educator voicemail line (646-290-8651) for an answer within one to seven days.

What can happen if I take too much Royal Maca^® for my body?

Because of the therapeutic potency of Royal Maca^®, it can be unbalancing if you take too much for your body. Over-stimulation is hormone-unbalancing. Reducing the amount of Royal Maca^® to the dose needed by your unique body is the solution if you are taking too much.
Possible symptoms of taking too much Royal Maca^®

- Men may experience a decrease in libido and sexual function or desire.
- Men and women may experience fatigue, headaches, feeling jittery, anxious or not sleeping well.
- If you experience any allergic-type reaction, such as itching, swelling, redness, rash, nausea, or vomiting, stop taking Royal Maca^® and consider taking adequate amounts of Royal Maca^® for partial relief of hormone issues

For any of the above symptoms, except for allergic-type reactions, simply stop taking Royal Maca^® for two days and then start again at a reduced amount.

Is the selenium added to Royal Maca^®?

No. The selenium listed on the label is naturally occurring in Maca root. For both men and women, selenium is an antioxidant, helps boost immunity, improves blood flow and regulates thyroid function. The safe upper limit for selenium intake is 400mg per day. One serving of SHE™ contains 0.37mcg of selenium.*

For both men and women, selenium is an antioxidant, helps boost immunity, improves blood flow and regulates thyroid function. The safe upper limit for selenium intake is 400mg per day. One serving of Royal Maca^® Vitality-Libido-Balance contains 2.99mcg of selenium.*

What are the capsules made of?

Our vegetarian capsules are made of plant cellulose and purified water. They are vegan.

Help with insomnia
“For me, menopause meant not only the cessation of a monthly cycle but also the end of sleep! For five years, I had full-blown insomnia. I tried everything, but nothing worked. A friend, who is also a physician, suggested SHE™. To my surprise, I noticed a difference the very first night, taking the lowest recommended dose! For me, this product is nothing short of miraculous. I’m still playing around with the dosage but I’m close to having it figured out (two days on, one day off seems to be the ticket). I’ve noticed that my memory seems to be better, too! This product has been a lifesaver.” ~Tiela G.

PMS symptoms stopped
“I have two teenage daughters who have their menstrual cycle at the same time each month. Both had terrible PMS with horrendous mood swings. They took out their pain and discomfort on each other and the whole family. After I added SHE™ to their daily supplements, on their very next cycle all the fighting and crabbiness stopped! Everyone in our house thanks you!”~Jolene R., NM

Hormone balance for sensitive system
“For 30 years I had irregular, heavy, and painful periods that kept me from functioning for several days each month. Nothing the doctors gave me balanced my hormones. I tried progesterone cream and all kinds of natural products – I still suffered. When I found Royal Maca®, I was ecstatic! My symptoms were finally relieved without taking all those other products. However, even though I was taking only 1-3 capsules a week, I was so sensitive that I often over-stimulated myself by taking too much. Now I take 1 capsule of SHE™ each morning and my hormones are in perfect balance. I love this product!” ~Teresa B., Santa Fe, NM

How Maca Affects Estrodial Levels

“Effects of Maca on the Level of Estrogen & FSH in Peri-Menopausal Women” by L. Aragon, T. Ramirez, A. Pino
Results: Organic Pre-Cooked Maca Root Supplement Raises Estradiol Levels in Peri-menopausal Women

How Maca Affects the Reproductive System

In 1960, Gloria Chacon did her Master’s thesis on the effects of Maca Root on the reproductive system of rats. She studied Biological Sciences in the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, receiving her degree in 1962, with the theme: photochemical study of Maca. Rats were fed large quantity of cooked Maca root powder for 72 hours and then sacrificed for study. Female rats showed multiple mature egg follicles. Male rats showed a significant increase in sperm count and sperm motility.
Conclusion #1: Chemical actives in Maca root were working on the reproductive systems of both male and female rats through the hypothalamus and pituitary glands (precursor hormones)
Conclusion #2: Maca root had therapeutic effects appropriate to the sex of the animal

Sexual Desire Increased with Maca

“Effect of Lepidium meyenii (MACA) on sexual desire and its absent relationship with serum testosterone levels in adult healthy men.” Andrologia. 2002 Dec;34(6):367-72. Gonzales GF, Córdova A, Vega K, Chung A, Villena A, Góñez C, Castillo S.
Results of the study: Maca root improved sexual desire within 8 weeks of treatment. Serum testosterone levels were not different in men treated with Maca root and in those treated with placebo, which is good news for men who have had prostate cancer. Their doctors might be more inclined to give their patients permission to use Royal Maca, knowing the results of this study.

Results: Rats treated with Maca before undergoing the stress test showed very little variation or no variation in their pre-stress test blood tests. Maca reduced stress-induced ulcers, elevated cortisol levels, and hypoglycemia.

Raw Maca versus Cooked Maca

Nutritional evaluation of the effects of Maca in albino mice and their offspring. Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutricion. Vol. 50, No. 2, 2000. Marco Canales, Jose Aguilar, Ana Prada, Adolfo Marcelo, Cecilia Huaman, Luz Carvajal.
Results: Mice fed raw maca had the lowest average birth weight and the slowest average growth rate in their offspring. Mice fed cooked maca had a higher average birth weight and a faster average growth rate in their offspring than both the placebo group and the raw maca mice group. In the second generation of mice, these differences in birth rates and growth rates between the groups were even greater.

Camu-Camu May Help with Depression and Central Nervous System Issues

In more than 400 published studies, research has shown oxidative stress to be highly correlated with depression. Vitamin C has been established to be an excellent reducer of free radicals (oxidative stress). Vitamin C, often in mega doses, has been demonstrated in more than 200 published studies to relieve depression and anxiety. 249 published studies on effects of Vitamin C on the Central Nervous System show benefits for those with ADHD, ADD, bipolar disorder, and addictions.

Camu-Camu Effective for Pain

“Effects of diet supplementation with Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia HBK McVaugh) in a rat model of diet-induced obesity”
This research investigates Camu-Camu’s effect on the diseases of obesity. Obese people have an increased risk for high total cholesterol, high triglycerides, high LDL, and high blood sugar levels.
The study was performed on two groups of rats which were first made obese through the diet they were fed. Then for 12 weeks, in addition to food, the experimental group was treated with Camu-Camu pulp and a control group got sugar water instead. Results: The rats takssing Camu-Camu reduced their weights of the fat in white adipose tissues; reduced glucose levels, total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, LDL-c, and insulin blood levels. There was also an increase in HDL-c levels.
Conclusion: Camu-Camu pulp was able to improve the biochemical profile of obesity in rats suggesting that this Amazonian fruit can be further used as a functional food ingredient in the control of chronic diseases linked to obesity. Authors: Inoueu T., Komoda H., Uchida T., Node K.

Comparing Benefits of Camu-Camu to Synthetic Vitamin C Tablets

“Tropical fruit Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties“
Background: Previous studies with dietary supplements showed that none were effective in preventing athersclerosis (by reducing oxidant load and inflammation). This is the first study to evaluate oxidant stress neutralization and anti-inflammatory effects of Camu-Camu and to compare them with the effects of synthetic Vitamin C supplementation. Subjects: 27 male smokers with high levels of oxidative stress (at high risk for developing atherosclerosis). Half of the smokers were given 70 ml of Camu-Camu juice for 7 days. The other half were given 1080 mg of Vitamin C tablets. (These were considered to have equivalent amounts of Vitamin C.)
Results: In the Camu-Camu group, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory markers were significantly reduced. There was NO CHANGE in the synthetic Vitamin C tablet group.
Implications: Camu-Camu may offer significant protective value to smokers for prevention of atherosclerosis. Taking synthetic Vitamin C tablets or powder for this purpose offers NO VALUE at 1,000 mg.

I have been taking Royal Maca for years (this is the only brand I trust having tried 2 others over time). I wanted to add Royal Camu and found this SHE product that blended it with Royal Maca. I continue to take my Royal Maca but now it’s 1 capsule of the SHE and 1 capsule of Royal Maca; the combination of 1:1, for me, is perfect. I love it. It’s a great addition to my daily supplements and I look forward to continuing with the product.

Teresa Barrington – February 19, 2020

For 30 years I had irregular, heavy, and painful periods that kept me from functioning for several days each month. Nothing the doctors gave me balanced my hormones. I tried progesterone cream and all kinds of natural products – I still suffered. When I found Royal Maca, I was ecstatic! My symptoms were finally relieved without taking all those other products. However, even though I was taking only 1-3 capsules a week, I was so sensitive that I often over-stimulated myself by taking too much. Now I take 1 capsule of SHE™ each morning and my hormones are in perfect balance. I breezed through menopause using SHE. I love this product!
