Maca also possesses a unique active compound called ‘macamides’, which act on the brain to increase and maintain our endocannabinoid levels, also known as our bliss molecules. Usually, our naturally occurring FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) enzymes inhibit or break down these molecules, but since ‘macamides’ inhibit this breakdown the brain can maintain & enjoy these higher levels of bliss molecules for longer.

The optimal dose for medicinal use has not been established. However, the dosage of maca root powder used in studies generally ranges from 3 to 9g (1 to 3 teaspoons) per day.
