Maca in menopause
Synonyms: Lepidium meyenii
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a Peruvian root marketed for libido and energy postmenopause. Evidence is moderate; the Brooks 2008 study showed improvement in subjective sexual function. There are three colour variants: yellow (general), black (strong for male energy), and red (female libido). Being plant-based, halal status is usually easier to verify, but check the exact product label; it comes as a vegetable capsule or powder.
