What is Maca?

The maca plant has the botanical name Lepidium me yenii and is mainly found in the South American Andes in parts of Peru. The plant has been used by indigenous peoples there for many centuries in a variety of ways. The maca root is either eaten freshly cooked or first dried and later processed into flour[1].

This versatility of the maca root in particular has enabled the inhabitants of the Peruvian Andes to live in these sometimes inhospitable areas of the high mountains. The root has been cultivated for 2000 years, especially in the higher altitudes of the Andes.

What is maca good for?

The root of the maca plant is rich in various nutrients and minerals. Among other things, it supplies the body with various proteins, carbohydrates and the minerals iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus.[2] These can have several positive effects on the human organism:

  • Calcium, for example, can contribute to normal blood clotting, normal muscle function and the normal function of digestive enzymes
  • Magnesium acts as an important cofactor in around 300 different proteins.

This allows the effect of the maca root to unfold throughout the body and support many processes.

Natural color variations may occur in this product.
