What is Andean Maca?

Sexual function, energy level or mood are related to the properties provided by Andean maca, a plant that grows in the pure environment of the Andes Mountains.
Andean maca (red, black, violet or yellow), Lepidium meyenii Walp o Lepidium peruvianum Chacon, grows in mineral-rich plains between 3,600 and 4,600 metres above the sea level in the Peruvian and Bolivian Andean mountains. Andean Maca has been used by humans for three thousand years already and, at this elevation, thanks to strong winds and bitter cold there is no need for pesticides.

Gold of the Incas

Pre-Incan and Incan peoples used maca root powder as a valuable adaptogen. This present of nature would make them able to adapt to the environment. Just by taking a look at an image of the Andean Mountains we can understand that such a plant was needed to survive. The height, peaks, sharpness, snowfields, rains and some more difficult conditions for animals and humans, turn this magnificent area into one of the most demanding on Earth. Without the Andean maca, Inca Empire could have never taken place.

The Inca messengers used it to accomplish their duties. Thanks to the Andean maca and their good physical condition, they were able to run long and difficult distances to make the communication possible in the Inca Empire. Spaniards during the conquest acknowledged the benefits of this plant when their horses lost fertility and strength due to the altitude. Incas recommended them to give their horses maca; next ones in making use of the Andean maca were the Spaniards. It was sold across Europe for a while but fell into oblivion until the 20th century.

The Andean people considered Andean maca as food granted by gods to enhance vitality, energy, and to reduce mental and physical fatigue. Women especially made use of Andean maca to help with their libido, fertility and the hormone cycle.

Today red Andean maca and black Andean maca are part of the Western world’s superfoods. They are recommended to fight tiredness because they give back vital energy and good mood. In particular, the combination of red Andean maca and black Andean maca contributes to energising and revitalising and to normal sexual function.
