WHAT IS MACA?

The maca plant, scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, is sometimes called Peruvian ginseng. It is a cruciferous vegetable related to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale.

It is native to the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes mountain range and has been cultivated by local people for more than 2,000 years. It is among the few plants that can survive in extreme conditions. 

The Andean people used maca as a food. In addition, they used this plant as a natural medicine to treat respiratory ailments and rheumatic diseases. But nowadays the increased demand for maca products is due to claims that the plant may have beneficial effects on libido and fertility.
