Product Description

Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes at elevations of 14,000 feet. Maca is one of the few plants that can grow in such a harsh and inhospitable climate. It was sacred to the Incas and has been used as a food and medicine in South America for centuries. It is well known for its ability to help enhance strength and endurance. In fact, Incan warriors would often consume maca before long journeys and battles. Today’s athletes are confirming what history has to say about this incredible superfood.
