Product Description
Maca, known as the superfood of the Andes, is popular among the indigenous people of Peru. Maca, grown in the spring, is a root vegetable cultivated at 3500 meters above sea level. It has a distinctive malty flavor that complements cocoa, another superfood. To achieve the best quality, maca roots are cleaned in natural water and then dried. Heat treatment breaks down the starch molecules, making it easier to digest maca and increasing the bioavailability of other nutrients. The maca root is then finely ground into powder and encapsulated.
Also known as Peruvian ginseng, Maca is known for its energizing, strengthening, endurance-enhancing, and mood-improving effects. It thrives in harsh weather conditions (cold, strong winds, intense sunlight), which are particularly disadvantageous for most plants. Scientific research has shown that Maca is rich in amino acids, phytonutrients, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is extremely nutrient-dense and energizing, leading many to believe that it is one of the world's best natural dietary supplements.
One of the most beneficial properties of maca is its regulating, stimulating, and balancing effect on the hormonal system in both men and women. Its taste is akin to roasted chicory, which damages our nervous system with chemical stimulants. In contrast, maca is not a caffeine-based stimulant but a stimulating medicinal herb that naturally maintains our health. The difference between maca and gelatinized maca is that the latter has the starch removed, making it more concentrated, easier for the body to absorb, and better assimilated.
