The calcium it contains helps maintain normal muscle function and is necessary for healthy teeth. It is also worth noting that the iron and calcium in maca contribute to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. Magnesium and riboflavin, in turn, help reduce tiredness and fatigue. In addition, magnesium helps maintain normal muscle function.
