Former president of the American College for Advancement in Medicine,

  Longevity Medicine, located in Chicago, Illinois.

  Dr. Gordon said, 'We all hear rumors about various products like maca. But
  using this Peruvian root myself, I personally experienced a significant
  improvement in erectile tissue response. I call it 'nature's answer to ViagraTM'.

  What I see in maca is a means of normalizing our steroid hormones like
  testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Therefore it has facility to forestall
  the hormonal changes of aging,' Dr. Gordon believes.

  'It acts on men to restore them to a healthy functional status in which they
  experience a more active libido. Lots of men and women who previously
  believed their sexual problems were psychological are now clearly going to
  look for something physiological to improve quality of life in the area of
  sexuality,' says Dr. Gordon.

  'Of course, as someone interested in longevity, I'm aware that mortality
  comes on much sooner for those individuals whose sexual activity is
  diminished or nonexistent. In other words, I believe that people who engage
  in sex twice a week or more live longer. I've found sexual activity to be a
  reliable marker for overall aging."

  Dr. Garry Gordon is concerned about reproductive problems in today's world.
  'Society faces a huge problem of dropping sperm counts and sex hormone
  difficulties. But maca promises a nontoxic solution with no downside effects.

  It's a therapy that appears to offer men and women the chance for hormonal
  rejuvenation,' concludes Dr. Gordon. 'We currently live in an era in which
  almost everyone will be doing something to deal with the hormonal
  consequences of aging.
