Organic Maca Powder: Ancient Peruvian Power for Modern Wellness

Our organic Maca powder is one of our best-selling products, and for good reason! This remarkable root has been cherished in Peru for over 2,000 years for its powerful nutritional profile and energizing properties.

Sourced from the Andes mountains of Peru, Maca thrives at extreme altitudes — growing at elevations of up to 14,000 feet, where few other plants can survive. This resilience mirrors its incredible ability to nourish and energize the body.

Key Features:

• Pure & Organic: Our Maca powder is grown at high altitude in Peru, harvested with care, and processed without heat to preserve its full nutritional potency.
• Powerful Adaptogen: Like Aloe Vera, Maca is a potent adaptogen, traditionally used to support the body's natural ability to adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental stressors.
• Peruvian Tradition: A staple in Peruvian cuisine, Maca powder has long been valued for its role in promoting energy and vitality. The potato-like tuber can be baked, or the ground-up powder is added to meals.
• Plant Sterols: Naturally rich in plant sterols, Maca is prized for its nutrient density and role in supporting an active lifestyle.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Mineral-Rich: Maca powder is an excellent source of calcium and magnesium, vital for bone health, muscle function, and nervous system support.
• Amino Acid Profile: Contains many essential amino acids, which play a key role in supporting the body's natural repair processes.
• Vitamin Boost: Provides a natural source of B vitamins, known for their role in energy production and mental clarity.
• Energizing and Restorative: Traditionally used as part of a balanced diet to support energy levels and endurance, Maca is popular with athletes and those with busy lifestyles.

Kate Magic's Favourite:

"I really would put free maca on the NHS for all women. It's a game-changer whatever cycle of womanhood you're in - puberty, menstruation, coming off birth control, pregnancy, breastfeeding, perimenopause, menopause. At this point in my life I take 1 tbsp 4-5 times a week, either in a mylk or a latte."
