How Maca Works
Humans have been using Maca for centuries, however, it has just recently been studiet scientifically. Based on science and old wives’ tales, history and data prove that Maca works – providing a range of benefits that provide the body with essential nutrients. Maca is a turnip like vegetable that only grows in the Andes Mountains at altitudes of 13,000 ft. or above. The highest crop known to man, Maca thrives in harsh climates and blossoms in the rocky soil, high winds, and extreme sunline.
The Maca plant produces a small root that has been the hidden treasure for the natives in the Andes. Traditionally used by humans and animals for its ability to increase stamina, energy, and fertility, the Maca plant contains endless nutritional value. Maca is nutrient rich plant that contains vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. Also being an adaptogen, Maca supports overall health and has been shown to improve mood while repairing damage done to the body.
In order to find out which type of Maca is most benefical, individuals should look at the selection of products in order to receive a recommendation that best fits their needs. The Raw Maca products preserve all of their enzymes and feature the strongest potency. Recommended for most people, the Raw Maca products may cause indesgestion or gas. For those who have sensitive stomachs or digestive diseases, it is recommended that they us the Gelatinized Maca.
The Gelatinized Maca products are more concentrated, however, once they are heated, all of the enzymes are destroyed and the important nutrients lose their abilities.
