What is Maca Powder?

Peruvian Maca Root is a root vegetable that has grown wild high in the Andes mountain ranges of Peru for thousands of years. It has been called “Peruvian Ginseng”, “Peruvian Viagra”, “A Miracle Product”, and “The 21st Century Food”. Maca has become very popular because of it’s ability to support healthy sexual function.

Maca is a plant that grows natively in Peru, South America, and was reputed by the ancient Incas to possess extraordinary powers of sexual enhancement. Maca root is sometimes referred to as ‘Peruvian ginseng’, because the two plants are said to share similar therapeutic qualities, though the plants themselves are not alike in physiology. As well as improved sexual performance, maca extract has been taken for many thousands of years to improve general physical health, strength and stamina. The Incas would take maca before going into battle to make them extra-deadly, but in a gentlemanly twist, the supplement would be withdrawn after a battle was won, to prevent the women of the defeated peoples from the over-sexed warriors.
