Maca has a rich history of traditional use originating in the Andes. It’s referred to as ‘Peruvian ginseng’ and was so valued as an energy libido booster it was used as a currency.

Our maca root capsules are crafted using vegetarian, gelatinized maca. Our Maca is steam and pressure extracted using a process known as gelatinization, which removes the starch and provides Maca which is concentrated and easily digested. Every step of the process is tested for both purity and potency from harvest to encapsulation.
