Maca is a well known and popular adaptogen. Adaptogens help the body deal with stress and react more calmly to external stresses. Maca is helpful in balancing hormones and is known for boosting mood and energy levels.

Dubbed the ‘super food of the Andes’ Maca root is part of the “Brassicaceae family”, which grows widely across the Andes at various altitudes between 4,000 and 4,500 meters above sea level. The root has been used medicinally by the native Incas of Peru for over 2,000 years and has gained huge popularity across the world over the last 10 years.

Our organic, four-root maca powder is made up of 70% yellow maca and 30% mixed red, black and purple maca. Produced to the highest standards, following the same farming practices that have been used locally in Peru for generations, our four-root maca is a highly nutritious and tasty super food.

We also stock red, black and gelatinised maca. Click here to check them out.
