Peruvian Maca Powder 250 g - Natural Maca Root Extract (Lepidium meyenii) - Vitality, Energy, Hormonal Balance

Peruvian Maca Powder - Natural Extract 250 g

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant native to the Peruvian Andes, used for over 2,000 years as a natural tonic and energy food. Our Maca powder comes from a low-temperature, cold-ground process, guaranteeing optimal preservation of its essential nutrients: amino acids, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals.

A complete superfood

Maca is considered an adaptogen, i.e. a plant that helps the body adapt to physical or emotional stress. It contains over 50 natural phytonutrients, including :

• Essential amino acids (valine, leucine, lysine) ;
• Minerals (iron, calcium, potassium, zinc);
• Alkaloids and glucosinolates, involved in hormone regulation;
• Natural antioxidants: polyphenols and flavonoids.

Scientifically documented benefits

⚡ Energy and endurance support

Studies show that Maca can improve resistance to fatigue and support physical performance. Research published in the *Journal of Ethnopharmacology* highlighted an increase in endurance in active subjects after 14 days of supplementation(source).

🧠 Hormonal balance and emotional well-being

Maca helps regulate hormonal imbalances thanks to its bioactive compounds called macamides and macaenes. In women, several studies have shown a reduction in menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, irritability); in men, it promotes vitality and natural hormonal function(PubMed - Gonzales, 2015).

❤️ Sexual vitality and fertility

Traditionally used to boost libido and fertility, Maca has been scientifically studied in this regard: a systematic review(Shin et al., 2010) concludes to an improvement in sexual desire and better sperm quality in men after 6 weeks of regular use.

💪 Support for morale and concentration

Thanks to its adaptogenic effect, Maca helps improve resistance to stress and may promote a more stable mood. A clinical study(Brooks et al., 2011) observed a reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms in postmenopausal women taking Maca for 12 weeks.

Our powder is obtained by freeze-drying and cold grinding to preserve enzymes and micronutrients. It is then gelatinized (vegan), a natural process that breaks down the fibers for better digestibility and optimal absorption.
