The addition of milk thistle in this formula provides the necessary support for the liver in its role of hormonal conjugation. It amplifies the beneficial effects of maca as a hormonal adaptogen. 

Maca root is used to increase energy and stamina and boost endurance, thus aiding in cases of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and restoring lost vitality and vigor. It helps to enhance memory and promote mental clarity. These actions are from maca's alkaloids that act on the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, causing gender-appropriate responses in respective gonadal functions. The pituitary gland then stimulates the production of hormones in answer to the body's needs. 

The trace amounts of 31 minerals in maca root may be more significant than one may first realize. Maca root also contains vitamins, fatty acids, sterols, and almost 60 different phytonutrients, most likely responsible for many of maca root's benefits. It is also a good source of linolenic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, 19 amino acids, and many polysaccharides.

Maca is high in the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and histidine, which are required for the manufacture of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline, and is a significant source of the amino acid arginine, which assists in the generation of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide may counteract male impotence, balance hormones, aid thyroid function, and enhance libido in both men and women. Maca's reported beneficial effects for sexual function could be due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients. However, maca contains p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which reputedly may have aphrodisiac properties.

Maca root is an adaptogenic herb that may help to balance the body's systems and normalize bodily functions during stressful situations, allowing the body to adapt and return to an overall sense of well-being.
