What is a Maca Supplement?

A Maca supplement is naturally derived from a root that has been used by native Peruvians for thousands of years. Packed with amino acids, carbohydrates, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, iron, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, and E, Maca root powder has been known to increase energy, raise libido for men and women, improve athletic performance, enhance mental clarity, and balance hormones.

Maca is also known as an adaptogen, which means it strengthens the body’s immune system and mental functions to help fight off any biological, physical, and chemical stress-related symptoms. While studies are still being carried out, researchers do believe that Maca root powder may also help relieve menopause symptoms by balancing the hormonal system, as well as help alleviate feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression.
