Sources of Maca Extract
Maca Extract is a natural substance extracted from the Maca plant, and its scientific name is Lepidium meyenii. This plant is native to the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, often thriving above 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). The harsh conditions of the Andes, including cold temperatures, intense sunlight and strong winds, contribute to the maca plant's unique properties.
The maca plant is a cruciferous vegetable related to broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. It has been cultivated and used by Peruvian indigenous peoples for centuries, both as a source of nutrition and for its medicinal properties. The plant itself is small and hardy, with leaves close to the ground and a small radish-like tuber, which is the part used to make Maca Extract.
Tubers are rich in a variety of nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, essential amino acids, and fiber. It also contains important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, as well as various vitamins including B1, B2, C and E. Maca is known for its adaptogenic qualities, which means it helps the body naturally adapt to stressors, such as a busy schedule, a demanding job, or illness.
Traditionally, maca tubers are harvested, dried, and then consumed in various forms: powder, capsules, supplements, or as an ingredient in food and beverages. Maca Extract is often touted for its potential benefits, which include enhancing energy, endurance and athletic performance, improving mood and reducing anxiety, and supporting reproductive health and libido.
The specific climate and soil of the Peruvian Andes are considered key factors in the growth and development of maca plants, contributing to the concentration and balance of active ingredients in the tubers. The unique environmental conditions cannot be easily replicated elsewhere, making maca from this region particularly sought after.
