Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable resembling a radish that thrives at high altitudes (4,100-4,500 m) and in conditions where most plants cannot grow (poor soil, cold climate). It is cultivated as a widely used vegetable in the highlands of the Andes, particularly in Peru, as it is rich in nutritional components.
In traditional Peruvian medicine, the dried root of maca is considered effective in treating sexual and reproductive dysfunctions, boosting the immune system, addressing anemia, cycle disorders, and menopause. Consuming maca is believed to effectively address erectile dysfunction, increase libido (in both men and women), and improve the quantity and quality of sperm.
The nutritional value of dried maca root is high, containing:
- 60-75% carbohydrates
- 10-14% protein
- 8.5% fiber
- 2.2% lipids
Maca also contains sterols, vitamins (B1, B2, B12, C, and E), inorganic salts, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins. It is rich in trace minerals such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and iron.
How to use:
- 3-5 g per day dissolved in water or fruit juice, preferably in the morning.
