Maca is a small tuberous plant that has been cultivated for centuries by the native population of the Andes. Maca only grows at an altitude of 3500 – 4000 metres above sea level. The roots are sun-dried and then ground. Maca powder is naturally rich in calcium and iron. With a minimum intake of 1.5 to 3 g per day, maca can reinforce physical and intellectual performance as well as being a source of energy and increasing the libido.
