Description
Maca Powder Raw & Organic
Maca is a special superfood that is also called “the natural viagra”. Maca is a super root that grows in the Andes mountains exclusively between 3000 and 4500 meters above sea level in Peru, South America. It has adapted to the extreme cold and heat in the Andes and grows on a very mineral-rich soil.
For the Incas living at these altitudes, Maca has been an important food and medicine for thousands of years. During colonial times, the Spanish even required local farmers to pay their taxes in Maca.
Why is Maca so special?
As one of the few natural sources, Maca balances the "female and male substances". And when this is in balance, many systems in the body work much better. Many people do not know that these substances have much more and faster influence on the body than vitamins and minerals. Make sure with Maca that they are in balance and then the rest is much easier.
It is impossible to describe in a short text how special Maca is.
Maca contains a whopping 18 amino acids, including 7 of the 9 essential ones. It has over 20 fatty acids, over 12 minerals and 5 sterols.
