Andean maca: the root that grows where almost nothing does
Where maca comes from, how it was traditionally used in the Andes and what is being researched today.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root grown in the Peruvian Andes, above 4,000 meters, where cold and wind let very few plants grow.
A high-altitude food
Andean peoples have eaten it for centuries, dried and ground, as part of their diet. It's a root with carbohydrates, protein, fiber and minerals.
What is being researched
Maca has been studied in relation to energy and general wellbeing in adults. There are small trials with interesting results and others with no clear differences: the evidence is still limited, and it's best read that way.
In a capsule
Our Andean Maca has 1000 mg per serving, in a 120- or 60-capsule bottle.
