Sometimes known as Peruvian ginseng, maca comes from the root of a plant that grows in the Andes Mountains. The Indigenous people of Peru have used maca as both food and medicine for centuries.
Maca belongs to the same family of plants as turnips and broccoli. The root contains amino acids, iron, calcium, and several compounds unique to the maca plant. As an herbal medicine, it has been used to improve sexual function, fertility, and health.
Maca, also known as Lepidium meyenii, is a high-altitude plant native to the Andes Mountains of Peru in South America. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which includes plants like radishes and mustard. The root of the maca plant is its most valuable part, often dried and ground into a powder for use in various foods and as a dietary supplement.
Maca roots are rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and dietary fiber. It is widely used as a health supplement to help cope with daily environmental stress. Different colors of maca roots (such as red, black, yellow, and brown) contain slightly different nutrients, so they may offer different health benefits.
