What is Maca?
Maca (Lepidium meyenii), also known as Peruvian ginseng, is a root vegetable that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the high Andes of Peru. This plant is traditionally used for its purported energy-boosting and libido-supporting properties. Maca is an adaptogen, meaning it can help the body adapt to stress and find balance. Although this supplement has a long and respected history in traditional medicine, this does not automatically mean that its health benefits are recognized according to EU regulations.
