Learn More
Organic maca powder is derived from the organic maca root, commonly known as "Peruvian ginseng" or referred to by its scientific name: Lepidium meyenii. While it stems from the same family as broccoli, its appearance is comparable to that of turnips. The root is classified into three colour categories: yellow, black and purple. The latter is red in colour in its powder form. Our organic maca powder is gelatinised, meaning that it has been boiled to break down the starch molecules. This process makes it easier to digest and is common practice in the production of maca powders.
In herbal medicine, organic maca powder is classified as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are natural remedies which are said to increase biological organisms' restistance to stress. Hence, in some circles, it is utilised to combat negative mental states, such as depression or anxiety. Organic maca powder is also said to help combat insomnia and relieve symptoms of menopause. Thanks to claims that it potentially increases both male and female fertility it is sometimes used to boost sexual health.
