Maca Root Extract & Powder

Maca, often called Peruvian ginseng, is the root of Lepidium meyenii — a cruciferous plant native to the Andes of Peru.
It has been used for centuries by the Andean people, both as a food (in fermented drinks or porridge) and as a traditional medicine.

Maca extract, derived from the Peruvian Lepidium meyenii plant, is a popular, caffeine-free superfood supplement often used to enhance energy, stamina, libido, and mood. Frequently available in gelatinized (easier to digest) capsules or liquid drops, it is considered an adaptogen that supports the endocrine system rather than providing hormones directly.

sourced from high-quality organic maca roots originally native to Peru and cultivated in Yunnan, China, at similar latitudes and temperatures to ensure authenticity and optimal growth conditions. Renowned for its adaptogenic properties, our maca products are designed to meet the needs of the health supplement, dietary supplement, and cosmetic industries. Backed by rigorous quality standards and sustainable practices, our maca offerings provide natural, nutrient-rich solutions for energy, hormonal balance, and skin health.

Maca is valued for its rich nutritional profile, including:

1. Amino acids
2. Vitamins and minerals
3. Carbohydrates and fiber
4. Bioactive compounds such as macamides, macaridine, alkaloids, and glucosinolates

These natural compounds are believed to contribute to maca’s health benefits, making it a popular ingredient in supplements, functional foods, and natural health products.

Maca Powder is typically made from dried, ground maca root — often gelatinized to improve digestibility.
Maca Extract, on the other hand, is concentrated for higher potency and standardized levels of active compounds.
