Also known as Peruvian ginseng, Maca is a hardy root vegetable grown in the Andes mountain plateaus of Peru, the harshest farmlands in the world, where no other crop will survive. Native Peruvians have relied on it for centuries as both food and medicine. Naturally rich in amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, Maca is gaining worldwide attention for increasing energy and stamina, enhancing libido and fertility, and providing an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy.
