Maca 6:1 Concentrate 90 VegiCaps

Throughout the ages, Maca (Lepidium meyenii), has been consumed to address many areas of wellness. Early Peruvian warriors found it to be so highly energizing, they consumed it raw, boiled, or as a tonic before going into battle. Traditional native healers believed that Maca could increase fertility, and many were known to incorporate it into their sacred fertility ceremonies. In some circles Maca is still used to increase fertility and libido. It is also one of the earliest known "adaptogenics" and periodically refereed to as the Peruvian Ginseng.

Today, a number of Maca's most primitive applications have been validated through the use of modern science. Researchers now know that Maca contains a significant amount of naturally occuring saponins, specialized glycoside compounds known for their potent energizing and revitalizing properties. Its ability to promote increased stamina and vitality has made it increasingly popular for with individuals who struggle with fatigue and lethargy. It has also been shown to help provide hormonal balance in men and women. NOW is pleased to introduce the popular 6:1 concentrated Organic Maca in convenient 750 mg Vcaps.
