What Is Maca Powder? Maca root (Lepidium Meyenii) is a root vegetable native to Peru; more specifically, it grows at high altitudes in the Andes; this is where our maca is sourced. As maca root has exponentially increased in popularity over recent years, the plant is being widely cultivated throughout South America. The quality of Maca root harvested at altitude in the Andes is acknowledged as superior. Maca is a herbaceous biennial plant flowering once every two years and is a member of the Brassicaceae family; there are over 4000 recognised species in this family, including the cabbage family and mustard plants. Maca Root Powder Benefits Maca root is an adaptogen and rich in nutrients and vitamins. The root plant has been used for centuries in its native Peru as a nutritious food source and to support healthy communities. Today maca powder has a broad range of uses; as a rich source of nutrients, it promotes overall well-being when used continuously. Maintains Energy Levels When maca powder is used in conjunction with a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise, it may support a naturally healthy body, leading to increased energy levels. Supports Healthy Libido Maca powder is widely used to promote healthy sexual activity in men and women and is considered a libido-supporting nutrition supplement.
