Harvested in the Andes, Lepidium meyenii or the maca is an herb native to Peru and Bolivia. Traditionally, it grows at an altitude of approximately 4000 - 4500 m.. Almost the entire crop grown in Peru is organic, as there are very few pests at such altitudes. Used as a root crop, maca belongs to the Brassicaceae family and is like radishes and turnips. It contains proteins, fats, fibres, minerals and glucosinolates, compounds with a strong odour, responsible for the strong aroma and taste of the species of this family. Maca was an important food for the local population for at least 2,000 years, including the Incas. Legend has it that during their empire, warriors ate the plant before going into battle for greater strength and durability.
The nutritional value of maca root is high, like cereals such as wheat and rice. Its typical nutritional profile includes 60% of carbohydrates, 10% of protein, 8.5% of dietary fibre and 2.2% of fat. In addition, it is rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, calcium, magnesium and iron, and also includes fatty acids such as linoleic, palmitic and oleic acids, 19 amino acids and polysaccharides. This plant profile provides optimal levels of nutrients used by the body's endocrine system, which is a tool for regulating metabolism, growth, development, puberty, tissue function and plays a role in establishing mood.
In addition to strength, endurance and general energy-boosting properties of macaPreliminary results from small-scale clinical studies in healthy men showed that the extract can increase libido and improve semen quality, including increasing sperm volume count and increasing motility.
