This highly nutritious root is a Native of Peru, where it is cultivated high in the Andes. It is rich in valuable protein, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and has a history of use that goes back many thousands of years. Maca is now being looked at carefully throughout the world for its potential to benefit women coping with difficulties in their sexual cycles and during menopause. The secret of Maca's astonishing effects is its high content of alkaloids, which stimulate the body's hormone system from within and bring it into balance. Maca is also rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and provides iron, zinc, and iodine. It can be used either as powdered root in capsules or in the modern, powerful and concentrated elixir. Traditionally, Maca has been used to increase energy, stamina, and endurance in athletes, promote mental clarity, as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, and for female hormonal imbalances including menopause and chronic fatigue syndrome. More recently, Maca has been used by weight lifters and body builders as a natural restorative.
