MACA

 

Product:
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) spray-dried extract.

Other names:
Spray-dried Maca extract, Peruvian ginseng, maka, mace, maca-maca, maino, ayak chichira, ayuk willku, pepperweed.

Description:
Hydroalcoholic extract, concentrated, and spray-dried. Water soluble. Obtained from the sun-dried roots of Lepidium meyenii, a crop grown in the Central Andean plateau at altitudes above 3800 meters above sea level. It has been used as a dietary supplement in drought years and for elder people in native communities. Due to its high energy properties, it is associated with improvement of male potency, libido enhancer, fertility in men and women, hormonal balancing effects, and menopause symptoms. It is also known for its memory enhancing properties and as a help to overcome depression.

Uses:

  • As a high energy food supplement. Best suited for athletes, students, active persons and anyone that is looking for a general sense of well-being.
  • Maca glucosinolates have anticarcinogenic properties. This association appears to be more consistent for lung, stomach, colon and rectal cancer. (Epidemiological Studies on Brassica Vegetables and Cancer Risk. Dorette T.H., Verhoeven R., et. al.)
