Maca is a powerful, ancient Peruvian superfood, treasured for thousands of years by the indigenous people of the Andes. Known as the “Peruvian ginseng,” its root was highly valued in the Inca Empire for its adaptogenic properties, providing energy, stamina, and overall wellness.

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) grows in the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains, above 4,000 meters, where the harsh climate naturally enriches its nutrients. The root is carefully harvested, dried, and ground into fine powder, preserving its full nutritional profile. This unique environment makes maca one of the most nutrient-dense adaptogens in the world.
