 Maca has stimulatory and prosexual effects, according to a large number of studies. But not all studies confirm the effects, and reports of people's experience also vary. This may well be because there are different types of maca, Peruvian researchers reported in Pharmaceuticals. And the type that's most interesting for supplement users is red maca. 
 Red maca and black maca
