Epidemiological studies have found that consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Cruciferous (Brassica) vegetables are broccoli, cabbage, mustard and collard greens, bok choy, and members of the genus Lepidium, including Maca. In the many hundreds of cruciferous species investigated, all are able to synthesize glucosinolates. The absolute content of glucosinolates in fresh Maca is relatively higher than reported in other cruciferous crops. The most abundant glucosinolates detected in Maca were the aromatic glucosinolates. It is possible that Lepidium meyenii (Red Maca) may have important effects on prostate.
