Maca, also called "Peruvian ginseng," is a cruciferous plant grown in the Andes of Peru in South America. Maca roots come in a variety of colors: red, black, yellow and brown. It is generally used as a ground powder, tincture or in capsule form. With an exceptionally rich nutritional profile, it contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fiber.
Our Organic Maca Powder is "gelatinized". This means that an additional process is applied to heat the dried maca root before it is pressed. This process will break its starch bonds and remove most of Maca's tough and indigestible fiber. While an additional process, gelatinization releases beneficial nutrients and enhances assimilation and easy digestion. Our gelatinized maca is particularly beneficial for those who have a sensitive stomach and difficulty digesting starches.
Where does Maca come from?
The scientific name of the Maca plant is Lepidium Meyenii and it is native to the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes. The Andean people of Peru have used Maca as a food and medicine for thousands of years. Maca is recognized as an adaptogen plant. Adaptogens are plant extracts that can boost the body's ability to cope with stress and other mental and physical conditions.
The Maca plant is able to withstand harsh and extreme weather conditions: it can grow almost 4000 m above sea level. Andean peoples cultivated maca as food and medicine to treat respiratory diseases and arthritis. Although the plant is also known as Peruvian ginseng, it is not part of the botanical family Ginsengaceae, nor is it native to Asia. Today the high demand for Maca root has led to a mass production worldwide. The mountainous Yunnan province of China is also known for its production of Maca.
