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.
Indications and uses:
Erectile dysfunction, sperm production and motility.

DETAILS:
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant that has been cultivated for over 2000 years and grows exclusively in the Central Andes of
Peru. Up to thirteen varieties have been described, characterised by the colour of the hypocotyls, ranging from white to black,
with different biological properties. For centuries, the most common and most widely used ecotype has been the yellow
variant, which is used in this product. Traditionally used as a food supplement due to its high nutritional content, it has now
been shown to have various effects upon sexual function, spermatogenesis, memory, depression and anxiety, as an energiser,
and against benign prostatic hyperplasia. In addition, maca lowers glucose levels, and its consumption is associated with lower
blood pressure and improved metabolic syndrome health status scores.
