Maca (Lepidium meyenii) or Peruvian ginseng originates from Peru, specifically from the Andes mountain range, where it thrives at over 4000 meters above sea level. The conditions for plant growth at high altitudes are so extreme that practically nothing else can be cultivated there.
Maca is such a resilient plant that it easily withstands unfriendly or extreme growth conditions, such as poor soil, temperature differences, aggressive UV radiation, lack of oxygen, strong winds. Plants that thrive in difficult and unfriendly conditions are often very rich in nutrients and active ingredients.
Due to its resilience and exceptional nutritional value, it has been highly valued as food for over 2000 years. The Incas believed in its unique power and consumed it before every important battle. The Incas also knew well another positive attribute of Maca - due to its effects on sexuality, it was even banned for a period of time.
The root or rhizome of the plant is used for consumption, and for dietary supplements it is usually dried and ground.
BIO Maca Powder from the FutuNatura brand is obtained from dried roots of the Maca plant, which are grown in accordance with certified organic farming practices. The product does not contain genetically modified organisms.
Recommended daily dose: Stir 1 teaspoon of powder (3-5 g) in approximately 200 ml of water and drink once a day. You can also mix the powder in juice or food (yogurt, soups, smoothies) or use it for baking.
It is recommended to consume in the morning.
