Raw Maca Powder (200g)

Product Description

Raw Maca Powder

Like all the best supplements, maca is not concocted in a laboratory

somewhere, but is a root vegetable that grows in the Andes mountains

of Peru. No other food plant in the world survives at such high altitudes

- up to 14,000 feet above sea level! In Peru it is considered a staple part

of the diet: the potato-like tuber can be baked, or the ground-up powder

is added to meals, and the Peruvians have been using it as an energy

enhancer for over 2,000 years. Like Aloe vera, maca is an adaptogen,

meaning that it works to support the body wherever it is needed, with-

out any harmful side effects. So like Aloe, maca is used by people for

many different ailments, or simply just as an immune system booster.

Maca is wonderful for increasing energy, strength and stamina.

It is full of minerals, vitamins, and protein, containing many

of the essential amino acids, and particularly rich in calcium

and magnesium, so it can help to deal with any deficiencies in

the diet. It is also very popular among both men and women

for its ability to balance hormones. It is often taken by women

suffering during the menopause, or with PMT, and it increases

libido (it’s sometimes known as Peruvian Viagra!), and helps

with fertility issues. It contains plant sterols, the natural form of

steroids, and is used by athletes to help improve performance.

Because it gives you such a boost, it is particularly helpful for

people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome or are de-

pressed.

Recommended dosage: Maca can have a very powerful effect

on you as it balances out your body, so beware! It is better to

start out with small amounts. Once your system has adjusted,

you can eat as much as you like!
