Talking about sexual desire isn't just about intimate relationships. It's about vitality, drive, motivation, and connection with oneself. Many people, due to stress, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances, experience a decrease in their libido, which impacts their mood, self-esteem, and quality of life.
In this context, black maca emerges as a natural option supported by both Andean tradition and modern research.
An ancient aphrodisiac validated by science
For centuries, communities in the Peruvian Andes have used black maca to increase fertility and sexual energy. This ancient knowledge has been the subject of scientific studies in recent decades. One of the most cited, published by Gonzales et al. in 2001, demonstrated in a double-blind clinical trial that black maca supplementation for 12 weeks significantly improved sexual desire in healthy adults without altering their hormone levels.
This is key: maca does not artificially stimulate hormone production, but rather acts more subtly on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, balancing sexual response without generating the side effects typical of some hormonal treatments.
Macamides, macaenes and nitric oxide: a powerful synergy
The secret to black maca's effectiveness lies in its concentration of macamides and macaenes, bioactive compounds responsible for its effect on libido. These act as modulators of the endocannabinoid system, which is linked to pleasure, motivation, and reward.
Furthermore, when combined with L-arginine—an amino acid that improves vasodilation through nitric oxide—the physical response to desire is enhanced. This effect is especially relevant for those who experience difficulty with physical arousal or sensitivity.
In women, this mechanism can translate into improved desire and lubrication. In men, it can support erections and sexual performance. In both cases, it helps restore a sense of sexual vitality that is often lost due to routine or stress.
Sevens Nutrition: Integrated Science and Wellness
Sevens Nutrition has developed a formula that respects the body's timing and needs. ItsBlack Maca product, enriched with L-arginine and key vitamins, is designed to act cumulatively. It's not a momentary boost, but a sustained restoration of desire and motivation.
This approach reflects the brand's commitment to holistic health: not just physical, but also emotional and relational. Because desire isn't born only in the body, but in the mind and the environment.
When are the effects noticeable?
Sexual desire is a complex function that responds to many factors. Therefore, the effects of black maca may vary from person to person. In general, daily supplementation for at least 8 to 12 weeks is recommended to notice significant improvements. Some people experience changes in motivation and mood as early as the second or third week.
To enhance its benefits, it is recommended to combine supplementation with habits that promote desire: good rest, a diet rich in micronutrients, regular exercise, and spaces for emotional intimacy.
A tool to reconnect with yourself
Recovering desire is much more than an aesthetic or functional goal. It's reconnecting with what moves you, what makes you feel alive. It's a sign that your body is balanced, that your energy is flowing, and that your emotions are active.
Black Maca, used consistently and with proper guidance, can become a powerful tool to help you regain that spark. Sevens Nutrition understands it as part of a process of continuous improvement, personal evolution, and true well-being.
