Maca (Poudre)

Maca has always been a sacred plant in Peru. 

The Incas were the first ones to consume Maca root more than 3000 years ago. The word "Maca" comes their language,  "MA" meaning altitude and "CA" meaning strengthening food.

Found growing naturally at 3,500 metres in severe climatic environments, this plant's uncommon hardiness is a probable source of its extensive health-promoting properties.

This tuber is part of the cruciferous family, which is now classified as Brassicaceae.

The significant increase in maca's worldwide demand lately stems largely from its characteristics, such as:

• its energising impact,
• its ability to boost endurance,
• its effects concerning libido (across genders)
• its positive impacts on particular facets of male fertility,
• its capacity to alleviate menopausal symptoms,
• and how it positively influences mood, memory and concentration.

There is no single answer that applies to everyone.

While maca typically shows results in 1–2 weeks, some advantages can be experienced almost instantly.

Maca naturally comes in several varieties, mainly yellow, red and black. Each has a slightly different nutritional profile, although they all come from the same plant (Lepidium meyenii).

• Yellow maca is the most common variety and is well suited to daily consumption thanks to its balanced profile.
  
• Red maca is often chosen by people looking for a specific variety as part of a varied diet.
  
• Black maca, which is less common, is particularly appreciated by people with an active lifestyle.
  

Whatever the variety, it is important to choose high-quality maca grown in its natural environment. InkaNature Organic Maca is cultivated in the highlands of the Andes, in the Junín region of Peru, recognized as the historical birthplace of this iconic plant.
