Peruvian Maca

Maca is a tuberculous root that grows in extreme weather conditions, high in the Peruvian Andes. The roots are crushed into a highly nutritious powder that contains many minerals and has been an important food source for indigenous Peruvians for centuries.

Maca is highly sought after for being a natural sexual stimulant and for improving fertility rates. In addition to being a sexual stimulant, it is also an energy stimulant that helps fight fatigue, improving concentration and sports performance.
Maca is also a strong female ally, as it improves menstrual dysregulation and has positive effects on menopausal and pre-menopausal symptoms.
