Organic Red Maca Powder, 1kg, Dragon Superfoods

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) originates from South America, thrives at high altitudes, in cold conditions and poor soils, and is one of the few plants that survive in the harsh conditions of the Andes. The herb is valued and used for its edible root. Besides being a food source for local inhabitants, it is widely distributed predominantly dried and ground into powder. The concentrated content of its rich nutritional composition of vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates makes it one of the favorite superfoods. There are different types/varieties of maca – white, black, red – which are determined by the different composition of specific substances in the root, but the basic properties are preserved.

Benefits: Maca is a root used for centuries as a superfood to increase the body's endurance. The root is rich in carbohydrates, and a surge of energy is felt very quickly in the body, making it very suitable for physical exertion. It is also known for its aphrodisiac properties, which is why it is often used as a natural supplement to support the normal functions of the reproductive system in both women and men. The main property for which it is so highly valued and popular is its beneficial effect on the endocrine system. Balancing hormones in the body itself leads to various individual positive effects for everyone. It is important to note that maca root DOES NOT contain plant hormones and does not interfere harshly with hormonal balance; it stimulates the balancing of the entire endocrine system by affecting the center in the brain that regulates the endocrine glands. The composition of maca root also includes minerals and some vitamins. It is believed that maca can also relieve PMS symptoms, contribute to normal bone density, and improve mood.
