Our Organic Maca is grown at 4,000m above sea level in the Andean district of Junin in Peru. Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable that contains unique alkaloids which have extraordinary health benefits such as promoting optimal functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary master glands, which in turn improves the overall functioning of the endocrine system.
Maca is essentially an adaptogen and therefore adapts to your body’s metabolism and particular needs to achieve an overall sense of wellbeing and optimal functioning. It is rich in all the essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and it contains nearly 60 phytochemicals.
For Peruvians, in the Junin district of the Andes, Maca is a staple food. So you can eat as much as you like and the more you eat, the more energy and overall vigour you will experience. Maca is non-toxic, has no dangerous side affects and no withdrawal symptoms. So the quantity you can take really depends on what you want to achieve.
Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists used Maca for:
- Increasing energy, stamina and reducing chronic fatigue
- Stimulating fertility in men and women
- Enhancing libido, whilst treating impotence
- Supporting the immune system
- Treating menopausal symptoms
- Stimulating and regulating the endocrine system
- Regulating and normalizing menstrual cycles
- Revitalizing seniors, mentally and physically
Add Organic Maca to any protein shake, yoghurt or dessert.
Note: To start off with we recommend 1/2 a teaspoon for several days until your body adjusts and then over time build up to 5 teaspoons.
Warning: If you have a partner and you are taking lots of maca we recommend that your partner also take maca as it is a potent aphrodisiac - if you are concerned about this then just reduce the amount you are taking.
