Original language description
Products of Lepidium meyenii Walp,maca, are touted worldwide as an alimentary supplement to enhance fertility and restore hormonal balance. Enhancing properties of maca on semen parameters in animals were previously reported by various authors, but we present to the best of our knowledge the first double blind, randomized, placebo controlled pilot trial in men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maca on semen parameters and serum hormone levels in healthy adult men. Methods. A group of 20 volunteers aged 20 to 40 years was supplied by milled hypocotyl of maca or placebo 1,75 g.day for 12 weeks. Negative controls of semen were compared to the samples after 6 and 12 weeks of maca administration, negative blood controls were compared to the samples after 12 weeks of treatment. Results.

Our results indicate that maca p
