MACA PROPERTIES
WHY it's AMAZING
First of all, what even is maca? It’s a root native from Peru, traditionally used by natives for thousands of years, now evolving into a superfood in the modern market. It was considered by the Incas as a gift from the gods!!!
Aside from being used as a food source, they used it in religious ceremonies for rituals and dances. Its declared one of Perú´s flagship products and, believe it or not, is cousin to broccoli, kale and cabbage. It is also considered by some as an aphrodisiac. Due to its high energy properties, its specially recommended for athletes, students, active people… or for your partner 😉.
Origin
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) grows in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, in altitudes reaching 4500 meters above sea level. There is evidence of Maca plantations dating back 2000 years. According to Spanish chronicles during La Conquista, their animals would not reproduce normally at high altitudes, so natives told the Spanish that they should feed them maca. Their animals went crazy! They returned to the normal levels of reproduction, and they kept using it.
