Maca is also called "Peruvian ginseng" and is revered by the Inca people for its incredibly nourishing properties. Maca is an adaptogen that improves energy levels, libido, mood and physical stamina.Maca is very rich in minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and polysaccharides. The maca root, from which the powder is extracted, contains 55 phytochemicals that work synergistically with the natural rhythms of the human body. Maca root helps to strengthen the weakened immune system, to remineralize undernourished or poorly fed organisms. Red maca, in particular, is especially recognized for its very high concentration of antioxidants, the highest of all types of maca, to relieve menopause-related disorders and for its beneficial effects on the prostate.

The dry extracts of red maca are excellent for fighting degenerative brain diseases (memory loss, dementia, etc.). The brain is made up of fatty acids in a proportion greater than 60% and in order to function, it produces free radicals but, over time, free radicals are accumulated in the cells and in the long run the production of energy begins to slow down.On nerve cells, free radicals cause the dendrites to withdraw (the short branches with which nerve cells connect to each other by transmitting impulses) and this generates synapses, the "connectors" that allow the cells of the nervous tissue to communicate
between them (neurons) or with other cells... So it is understood that help is absolutely necessary to limit the risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease.

3 Some studies suggest that Maca delivers a revitalizing effect, likely derived from its abundant protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and mineral content 52. A cruciferous vegetable, maca demonstrates antioxidant activity, containing phytochemicals, flavanols, gluconates and isothiocyanates that have the ability to quench and scavenge various free radicals4. Unique, secondary metabolites macaene and mac amides-identified exclusively in maca-may be responsible for some of the benefits described by native Peruvians.
