been used and venerated by native Peruvians for being an
excellent natural source of vitamins and minerals. Living in
the highlands is tough, oxygen is scarce and the living
conditions are difficult. Maca has been their natural source

Maca Powder
Maca
is the root of a Peruvian plant Lepidium meyenii
growing in the Central Andean Region of Peru between
4000 and 4500 meters of altitude, mainly in Junin
and Cerro de Pasco. This species is described in the
catalogue of the flowering plants and gymnosperms of
Peru. Maca have been traditionally employed, among
others, to improve sexuality and fertility. Oral
administration of Maca significantly improved the
sexual behaviour in male rats and mice. More
recently, it has been demonstrated that Maca
improves spermatogenesis in male rats.
Dry maca hypocotyls
have the following composition: 59% carbohydrates,
10.2% proteins, 8.5% fibre and 2.2% lipids among a
few other compounds (Dini et al. 1994).
Maca root is converted
into powder after a process which begins with the
selection of the best maca roots and put out in the
highlands to dry naturally. The dried roots are then
pulverized and so it is presented in different pots.

Powder - Nutritional Profile |
| Maca
has been used and venerated by native Peruvians for
being an excellent natural source of vitamins and
minerals. Living in the highlands is tough, oxygen
is scarce and the living conditions are difficult.
Maca has been their natural source of Iron needed
for the blood production and oxygen transportation
within the body, that’s why maca has been very
useful for the adaptation of the Incas to the high
altitudes.
The researches made
on Maca have demonstrated its huge amounts of
nutritive elements like a rich variety of minerals (iron,
sodium, calcium...), vitamins (B1, B2, E ...), amino
acids. Vitamins:
Maca has a rich
variety of vitamins in its composition; that's why
many people take it as a nutritive complement. Among
the vitamins found in maca, we have: vitamin B1, B2,
B, C, E ...
Thiamine-
B1 this vitamin convert blood sugar to energy
(co-enzyme) - very active people like sportsmen need
specially this vitamin for efficient nutrient
absorption from food. This vitamin will also help
you feel more active and have more energy for your
day to day living.
Riboflavin-B2 Helps body release energy from protein/carbohydrates/fat,
and to cope better with stressful situations;
essential to life. Lack of HCl leads to inefficient
B2 absorption.
Minerals:
Iron is the
responsible of blood production and oxygen
transportation within the body, that’s why maca
has been very useful for the adaptation of the Incas
to the high altitudes where oxygen is scarce.
Potassium
Important to maintain the acid/alkaline balance
required for efficient cellular activity. Regulates
body's electrical activity (ie. heartbeat) and
carries nerve messages to muscles, releasing some
hormones and neurotransmitters en route.

other vegetal of his gender. Calcium is the most
abundant mineral in the human body, very important
