ORGANIC MACA – THE SUPERFOOD OF THE ANDES
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a small turnip-like root grown at altitudes over 4000 metres in the Peruvian Andes. About 2000 years ago the bulbous roots of the plant were already used by the Incas. Nowadays, maca is considered a very popular and powerful superfood. And with good reason: Maca is characterized by an almost complete amino acid profile and an abundance of various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants – including calcium, potassium, B vitamins, and iron.
For our maca capsules we use only high-quality maca from organic cultivation in Peru. Our product is quite unique as it provides not only one type of maca but a mixture of four different roots: Red, yellow, purple, and black maca. Thus, our maca capsules offer a unique nutritional profile. Naturally, no pesticides were used during the cultivation process. To ensure optimal quality, we also test our maca powder for various impurities, including microbial contamination, as well as pesticide, heavy metal, and aluminum residues.
