Is Revolution Macalibrium® Men for you?
Revolution is for men with decreased energy and low vitality who are looking for a complete health supplement to support their overall levels of wellbeing.
How does Revolution Macalibrum™ help?
Once you reach your 30's natural production of hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone decreases, resulting in lower energy levels, and other common signs of aging. This decline in hormone production accelerates with age. Revolution Macalibrium® Men, through its adaptogenic properties, stimulates your body’s production of natural hormones to optimal levels, improving health, increasing energy and enhancing wellbeing.
The data from our pharmacology research on Revolution demonstrates:
- Increased blood glucose*
- Reduced triglycerides*
- Support for sperm production*
- Enhanced sexual function*

How does Revolution Macalibrium® Men work?
Revolution works primarily through its adaptogenic properties. Stimulation of the hypothalamus (through your pituitary and adrenal glands and your nervous system), induces your body to create a healthy balanced state that promotes optimal health. Revolution therefore works in a unique way for each man – supporting your individual biological make-up and optimizing your personal health status at any stage of your life.
What is Revolution Macalibrium® Men?
The primary ingredient of Revolution Macalibrium® Men is Maca-OG™.
Maca-OG™ is not a normal Maca product but is one of the highest quality nutraceuticals on the market today. Maca-OG™ is an organically grown and processed, proprietary combination and ratio of four major phenotypes of Lepidium peruvianum Chacon – a specific species of the herb commonly known as Maca. There are 13 different phenotypes of Lepidium peruvianum Chacon – many appearing to display different gender and age-related therapeutic effects. From the organic Maca roots, which are planted and grown on NHI’s plantation at 4,300m in the Peruvian Andes, NHI selects specific phenotypes. After harvest, the Maca roots are dried using traditional organic methods to enhance and maximize the desired therapeutic effects of the herb. They are then put through NHI’s patented †, organic and GMP certified, manufacturing process. To our knowledge NHI’s entire process, which avoids extreme heat, chlorine and other chemicals, is the only 100% natural and organic method currently in operation in Peru. With these superior methods applied across the board from production to manufacture, the process results in Maca-OG™. This is a concentrated, herbal preparation with enhanced therapeutic potency based on the entire spectrum of active constituents as compared to standard Maca powder. In a comparative laboratory study on Maca-OG™, it has been further shown, that when compared to the highest quality Maca extracts on the market, not only does Maca-GO™ have a higher level of actives, but also a much wider spectrum of key actives which contribute to reported high potency of Revolution Macalibrium® Men.

What dose should you take?

FAQ
1. What is an adaptogen?
In 1968, Israel I. Brekhman, PhD, and Dr. I. V. Dardymov formally gave adaptogens a functional definition, as follows:
- An adaptogen is nontoxic to the recipient.
- An adaptogen produces a nonspecific response in the body—an increase in the power of resistance against multiple stressors including physical, chemical, or biological agents.
- An adaptogen has a normalizing influence on physiology, irrespective of the direction of change from physiological norms caused by the stressor.
Very simply, adaptogens are nontoxic, produce a nonspecific defensive response to stress, and have a normalizing influence on the body. They normalize the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis.
Adaptogenic herbs are unique from other substances in their ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system, and they help the body to maintain optimal homeostasis. Adaptogens have a normalizing effect on the body and are capable of either toning down the activity of hyper functioning systems or strengthening the activity of hypo functioning systems.
2. What’s the difference between Maca-OG™ and other products with maca as an ingredient?
There are 2 quite distinct species of Maca:
- Lepidium meyenii Walpers and
- Lepidium peruvianum Chacon
Lepidium peruvianum Chacon is the only species shown to have a therapeutic effect and importantly only Lepidium peruvianum Chacon grown above 4,000m has been proven to have therapeutic efficacy.
Lepidium peruvianum Chacon also contains several different phenotypes or sub species. Each phenotype has a specific physiological affect on the body with Maca-OG™ containing a specific phenotype combination. NHI standardises Maca-OG™ to ensure that every batch is consistent with the quality of the product used in our clinical trials. NHI also has a different phenotype combination for women called Maca-GO™.
- Revolution (Maca-OG™) for men
- Femmenessence (Maca-GO™) for women
Maca-OG™ is further differentiated from other maca products by NHI’s patented (Provisional Patent U.S. No. 60/819,583) manufacturing process which increases the concentration of the entire spectrum of actives. For further information on NHI’s proprietary manufacturing processes go to Manufacturing.
4. What if I’m on thyroid medication?
Because of Revolution’s adaptogenic effects (including effect on thyroid), clients taking Thyoxine/Oroxine or herbal preparations for under active thyroid or (e.g. Hashimoto) need to be carefully monitored to avoid possibility of thyroxin overdose.
If you are taking thyroid hormone or other medication, you should consult your health practitioner. Monitoring of hormone levels may indicate reduction of thyroid or other medication in accordance with your personal sensitivity to recommended dosage of Revolution.
3. What’s the difference between Maca-GO™ and other products with maca as an ingredient?
- Clinical trials
- Phenotype combination and ratio
- High concentration of all actives
- USDA, EU and JA Organically certified
Maca-GO™ is the only product made from Maca that is clinically proven to statistically significantly improve hormone levels, reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and mood swing and positively effect bone and heart health. We understand that this is a strong statement to make so we have put our money where our mouth is - if you can find a published human clinical trial which shows another maca product to positively effect hormone levels, reduce symptoms and positively effect bone and heart health we will send you a year’s supply of Femmenessence for free.
Maca-GO™ is only manufactured with Lepidium peruvianum Chacon which is grown in certain regions of the Peruvian Highlands above 4,000m and has been proven to have therapeutic efficacy.
Lepidium peruvianum Chacon also contains several different phenotypes or sub species. Each phenotype has a specific physiological affect on the body with Maca-GO™ containing a specific phenotype combination and ratio. NHI standardises Maca-GO™ to ensure that every batch is consistent with the quality of the product used in our clinical trials. NHI also has a different phenotype combination for men called Maca-OG™.
- Femmenessence (Maca-GO™) for women
- Revolution (Maca-OG™) for men
Maca-GO™ is further differentiated from other maca products by NHI’s patented (Provisional Patent U.S. No. 60/819,583) manufacturing process which increases the concentration of the entire spectrum of actives. To give you an analytical comparison of the quality comparison of Maca-GO™ versus the top selling maca extracts, which are themselves 10:1 or 4:1 concentrations of normal maca powders or gelatinized maca. Below is a TLC spectro-analysis:
