Maca Root Benefits: What Small Trials Cover and What Payarmin's First Line Holds
Maca root benefits have been tested in a few small human trials, mostly on sexual function and menopause symptoms, and reviews rate that evidence as limited. Maca is the first line in Payarmin's 200 mg blend, so one mL holds at least 9.09 mg and at most 200 mg.

What are the benefits of maca root?
The benefits are modest and thinly tested. Only a few small human trials exist, mostly on sexual function and menopause symptoms, and systematic reviews rate the evidence as limited (MSKCC, Maca).
The source we use does not mention blood sugar at all. Maca is a traditional Andean root food, and tradition is not a trial.
| Studied | Sexual function, menopause symptoms (a few small trials) |
|---|---|
| Evidence rating | Limited, per systematic reviews |
| Blood sugar trials | None found in our source |
| Pregnancy, breastfeeding | May not be safe |
How much maca is in Payarmin?
No single amount is printed. Maca is first of 22 blend lines, so a mL holds at least 9.09 mg and at most 200 mg.
The floor works like this: the heaviest of 22 lines cannot weigh less than the average, and 200 divided by 22 is 9.09 mg. The ceiling is the whole 200 mg, if every other line were zero, which is not plausible for a 22-line blend.
If maca were the first of 22 lines at a fair 30 mg, the other 21 would share 170 mg, about 8.1 mg each. The order tells you rank, not size.
Maca also leads the group covered on the maca and adaptogens page, together with eleuthero and astragalus.
Does maca fit a blood sugar product?
Nothing we can cite ties maca to blood sugar. It sits in the blend because it is a plant extract, not because a trial supports it for glucose.
That matters because the sales page frames the drops around "balanced blood sugar", and no study of Payarmin is named. The ADA finds that no supplement is proven to lower glucose (ADA, Vitamins & Supplements).
Never change a prescription because of a supplement. Pregnant or nursing mothers should skip maca-containing products unless a physician agrees, as the label itself advises.

See packsShould maca root benefits change how you read the label?
They should lower expectations. A limited-evidence root leads the list, and its amount stays hidden.
Read the order as a ranking, do the division, and compare with what trials used. The next step is the Supplement Facts page, which types out all 23 label lines.

FAQ01
More about maca in Payarmin
Is maca root the main ingredient in Payarmin?
It is the first of 22 blend lines, which makes it the heaviest by label order. That is a rank, not a share. With 200 mg across 22 lines, its weight could be anywhere from 9.09 mg up toward the ceiling.
Is maca safe while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Maca may not be safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding, per Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSKCC, Maca). Payarmin's label also tells pregnant or nursing mothers to consult a physician before use, so ask first.
Does maca have blood sugar studies?
Our source lists small trials on sexual function and menopause symptoms and does not mention blood sugar. That means maca gives no reason to expect a glucose effect from the drops.
