Maca, an ancient Peruvian superfood in the cruciferous family, is organically & cooperatively grown supporting native families living in the Peruvian Andes. Raw Maca root has been used by indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment, healing and sustenance for thousands of years, dating back to 3800 BC. It has a long history as an immune enhancer, hormone balancer, and adaptogen. Adaptogens thrive in extremely harsh conditions and as a result, they contain chemical properties which help the body to handle stress. Our raw maca powder is a nutrient dense whole food, containing proteins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates processed at low temperatures to preserve the delicate nutrient profile. Maca is perhaps most well known for it’s profound effect on increasing libido and has earned the name “nature’s viagra”. Maca is still one of the most vital and valuable of all commodities of the Andes Region.
