Maca

Maca contains 750 mg of maca root per capsule. Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant that has been cultivated for over 2000 years and grows at an altitude of over 4000 metres in the Central Andes of Peru. It is characterised by the underground part, the hypocotyl and the root, which is the storage organ for primary and secondary metabolites. The primary metabolites correspond to the nutritional content of the plant, providing a large quantity of proteins, fibre, minerals (calcium, iron, copper and zinc, among others), vitamins B1, B2 and B3 and 20 free fatty amino acids. Secondary metabolites include sterols and a high content of unique alkaloids (glucosinolates) called macaenes and macamides.
