Calcium
Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

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.

Formula |
- As the only edible food crop that flourishes at the high altitudes of Peru's central highlands, Maca has been grown and consumed there as far back as 1,600 BC. Maca's traditional uses as an energizing sexual tonic and fertility-enhancing food have been well-documented in modern medical studies.
Our Maca powder contains certified organically grown Lepidium meyenii roots from Peruvian highland fields we have personally visited and approved. The roots are hand-harvested and then gelatinized (steam-cooked), which improves digestibility and enhances Maca's health and vitality-promoting properties.
