MACA POWDER (MACA RAW) BIO 100g - the superfood of lovers
Product of organic farming from Peru
Classified as both an adaptogen and a superfood , maca is a root vegetable that has been used by the natives of the high Peruvian Andes for centuries to boost energy and libido . It is also revered for its ability to provide hormonal balance, reducing stress and anxiety . Called “Peruvian ginseng” by some, maca is perhaps one of the most powerful adaptogens . Maca, like other adaptogens, works by boosting the immune system and balancing hormones . It may support healthy energy levels and adrenal health .

Maca is a nutrient-dense food, particularly rich in amino acids, phytonutrients, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is packed with bioavailable plant protein and has more calcium than milk. Maca contains almost all of the essential amino acids . Combine these high nutrient content with its adaptogenic properties, and maca is definitely a “super” food.

In recent decades, maca has grown in popularity around the world as a natural treatment for certain health problems , such as infertility and low sex drive . Maca's beneficial effects on sexual function may be due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients.
