Organika - MACA Gelatanized Peruvian Ginseng Extract 750mg 180 Vegecaps

Maca, also known as Peruvian Ginseng, is the superfood of one of the oldest, most advanced civilizations on earth- the Incas. It has been cultivated for 2000 years in the high plateaus of the Andes mountains in Peru, and was once given to Imperial Inca warriors before battle. Organika’s Maca is made exclusively from the yellow Maca root, most used by Peruvians in daily life. Maca is a nutrient dense, adaptogenic, cruciferous root. Adaptogens are a biological substance found in rare plants and herbs that help the body adapt to change and stress. In fact, repeated use of Maca is like exercising- the body not only adapts, but becomes stronger. It’s traditional use is as a natural energizer, stress-reliever, and aphrodisiac; it nurtures, restores, and enhances stamina. Maca contains over 55 beneficial and naturally occurring phyto-chemicals that play a critical role in the hormonal health of our body, affecting our brain, thyroid gland, immune and reproduction systems, making it excellent for balancing hormones. Maca is rich in the dietary minerals calcium and potassium , and contains the trace elements: iron, iodine, copper, manganese, and zinc as well as fatty acids linolenic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acids. Not only does Maca help us cope with mental and physical exhaustion, but it also has the ability to scavenge free radicals and protect cells against oxidative stress. Maca has been used for everything from boosting the immune system to enhancing mental clarity and libido. In fact, studies show that yellow Maca is unique in that it enhances both men and women’s fertility, but is most effective at increasing women’s fertility.
