Maca powder is derived from the 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. Our gelatinised organic maca powder has been boiled to break down the starch molecules. This process makes it easier to digest and is common practice in the production of premium maca powders.
In herbal medicine, maca powder is classified as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are natural remedies which are said to increase biological organisms' resistance to stress. Hence, in some circles, it is utilised to combat negative mental states, such as depression or anxiety. 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.
