Why is a strange looking plant that looks like a tiny brown turnip causing such a buzz?
Perhaps because it brings the body alive in so many ways. Maca has been used medicinally in Peru for centuries . . .

Guaranteed As The Most Effective Natural Herb Available
Without Side Effects
Uses: Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists have recommended maca because of the way it stimulates the master glands, pituitary and the hypertalamus.
| "Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School has determined that a part of the Hypothalamus, when stimulated, can produce activation of the whole-body system. Another part of that hypothalamus, however, when stimulated, can produce a relaxation of the entire body."

From the Peruvian Highlands
Maca is a hearty root vegetable plant which grows in the high Andean plateaus of Peru at altitudes as high as 14,500 feet above sea level. Little is known about the origins of maca (Lepidium Peruvianum Chacon), the plant is believed to have been cultivated in the Junin Plateau region of the Central Highlands in an area called Cerro de Pasco as far back as 2,000 years ago. The Inca's of Peru were sophisticated builders and cultivators of the land and may have been responsible for the cultivation of maca which have been found in archaeological sites. Many legends exist about the nourishing powers of maca, such as it's ability to promote sexual desire and increased energy.

Legend has it that Inca warriors would consume maca before entering into battle. This would make them extremely strong. But after conquering a city, the Incan soldiers were forbidden from using maca to protect the conquered women from the warrior's powerful sexual impulses!
From as far back as 500 years ago, maca's reputation for enhancing strength, libido and fertility was already well established in Peru. |

Maca has a reputation for being an aphrodisiac; it is clinically proven in scientific trials (Lima, Peru) to spice up sex lives. A natural alternative to chemically based products.
Men taking maca have noticed more frequent erections, stronger erections which lasted longer and more sexual desire. Maca will work better for men if they have enough zinc in their diet. Without enough zinc the male body tends to convert the progesterone it makes into estrogen.
The alkaloids of maca affect the pituitary and hypothalamus, and it acts on adrenals, pancreas and thyroid, encouraging your body to produce and balance hormones. more info
Maca has been used traditionally to increase energy and to promote improvement in both stamina and endurance in athletes. Unlike caffeine, Maca is a healthy choice for increasing energy because it is not a stimulant.
The steady enhancement of both physical and mental energy makes Maca Live™
an ideal supplement for students, professionals, writers, athletes and anyone who needs a lift. The fact that Maca contains no stimulants but obtains its benefit from vitamins and minerals makes it especially beneficial for individuals who are constantly fatigued. Many people who use Maca also report increased mental clarity. more info
Much confusion exists about maca today with several species of maca being sold.
The cultivation of maca is increasing in the highlands of the Andes to meet the growing demand world wide for medicinal uses. In this severely economically depressed region, the market created for maca will offer new and important sources of income for the Indigenous Peoples of the Andes. A new cultivar of maca has been identified in the major growing regions of the highlands which will supply much of this new demand and it has been named Lepidium peruvianum Chacon.
Other species called maca are wild or do not grow in this specific region of Peru and do not meet the medicinal and nutritional standards of Lepidium peruvianum Chacón. Many brands of maca are rated standardized and are made in a laboratory as opposed to grown in rich mineral soils that contain nutritional support and alkaloids. Using only organic premium grade maca root, Maca Live™ is considered the best all natural product available anywhere.
Standardized maca is totally different than natural pure maca root. For example would you prefer fresh squeezed orange juice or concentrate or a Tang® type product? Maca Live™ is 100% organic and cold pressed. (Cold press means low to no heat used in processing which keeps the nutrients (enzymes) alive. Most other maca is toasted or heat processed.
Maca Live™ grows at the higher elevations of 14,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level, in untouched nutrient and mineral rich soil, it is organic and cold pressed, which greatly enhances its qualities. In the last few years the term STANDARDIZED has come into the botanical market place, which is the laboratory version of herbs. We believe that pharmaceutical quality just doesn't agree with our all natural philosophy. We use only the finest and best premium quality organic maca root.
We insure and guarantee the high organic and raw quality of Maca Live™. It is certified organic by SKAL International, which has headquarters in the Netherlands, and is approved by the European Union and recognized throughout the world. It is also rated USDA Organic.
