Study On Alleviating Physical Fatigue Function Of Maca Tablet
Nov 01, 2024
ABSTRACT:
Objective： To study the effect of Maca tablet with material Maca and Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight as the main raw material on alleviating physical fatigue.
Methods SPF grade ICR male mice were randomly separated into 3 doses (0.25, 0.50, 1.50g/(kg·bw) respectively, and the negative group was given the equivalent pure water, by gavage for 30 days, and the swimming time with a heavy load in the tail was measured. Then the serum urea content, the content of hepatic glycogen, and different time points of blood lactic acid area after exercise were measured in different groups. Results After continuous gavage of maca tablets for 30 days, the high-dose group in 1.50 g/(kg·bw) could significantly prolong the swimming time with a heavy load in the tail of mice, the serum urea content and blood lactic acid content of mice after swimming were significantly reduced, and the difference was significant compared with the negative control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion Maca and cistanche combination tablet as a health food has the function of relieving physical fatigue.

Combination Of Maca Function And Use Methods List
1 Introduction
People in a sub-healthy state usually have symptoms such as fatigue, poor concentration or decreased memory, slow mental response, and lack of energy. Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that this belongs to the category of qi deficiency or yang deficiency, as well as kidney essence deficiency and liver and kidney yin deficiency. Therefore, the use of some substances with the effect of replenishing kidney yang and nourishing essence and blood can effectively improve the above symptoms. Maca, as a traditional food and herb with a history of more than 5,800 years in South America, is rich in anti-fatigue nutrients such as protein, reducing sugar, taurine, minerals, branched-chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine), and various active secondary metabolites such as macaamide, maca alkaloids, and glucosinolates. The above nutrients make maca have a variety of nutritional and health functions and pharmacological effects. The functions that have been discovered in modern pharmacology mainly include anti-fatigue[1], improving fertility[2], anti-oxidation[3], anti-aging[4], endocrine regulation[5,6], and tumor inhibition[7]. Maca has been widely used as a botanical medicine or functional food raw material around the world. A search of the domestic health food database found that most of the health foods with maca as the main raw material are mainly used to relieve physical fatigue and enhance immunity. The Chinese medicines for replenishing qi are mostly American ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, and astragalus. The Chinese medicines for replenishing yin are mostly wolfberry, Polygonatum, and ophiopogon. The Chinese medicines for replenishing yang are mostly epimedium, deer antler, and cordyceps powder. The Chinese medicines for calming nerves are mostly combined with ganoderma lucidum[8]. At present, there is no functional research on the combination of maca and Cistanche tubulosa.

Cistanche tubulosa is a traditional tonic Chinese medicine commonly used in clinical practice. It is recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia that it has the effects of replenishing kidney yang and improving essence and blood, and is known as the "desert ginseng". The most active ingredient in Cistanche deserticola is phenylethanol glycosides, including echinacoside and verbascoside, which are the active ingredients specified in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In addition, it also includes compounds such as iridoid glycosides, lignan glycosides, and sugars [9]. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Cistanche tubulosa has a variety of pharmacological effects, such as anti-fatigue, anti-aging, improving renal function, and regulating immune function [10].
At present, some studies have confirmed the functions of single raw materials maca and Cistanche tubulosa in relieving physical fatigue and enhancing immunity. Peng Liang et al. [11] showed that the minimum effective dose of single raw material maca powder for relieving physical fatigue in humans is about 3.0 g/d. Wang Xiaoxin et al. [12] showed that the minimum effective dose of single raw material Cistanche tubulosa for relieving physical fatigue in humans is about 0.6 g/d through experiments on relieving physical fatigue.
However, there is currently no research on the functional test of the combination of maca and Cistanche tubulosa.
Maca tablets are mainly made of maca and Cistanche tubulosa. This study aims to study the effect of maca tablets on relieving physical fatigue by measuring the swimming time of mice with weight at the base of their tails, serum urea content, liver glycogen, and blood lactate content before and after exercise. Through animal experiments, the functional advantages of maca and Cistanche tubulosa in relieving physical fatigue were explored, to provide a reference for the research and development of anti-fatigue health products.
