organic raw Maca
Maca is a root vegetable native to the Andes region of South America and is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It is also a good source of fiber. Maca has been used in traditional medicine to improve energy, stamina, and sexual function. It is also purported to help to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and reduce the symptoms of menopause. Dietary supplements containing maca utilize the root of the plant and are sometimes standardized for two types of compounds found in it, macaenes and macamides.

- Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is grown at high elevations in the Andes region of central Peru. It has been traditionally used for centuries as a food source and as a general energy tonic. More recent scientific data suggest that "gelatinized" Maca may help to support healthy sexual activity and fertility for men. Clinical data indicate that Maca does not exert a direct effect on endocrine function.*
