THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES:

Traditionally, Maca was consumed to combat mental and physical fatigue and increase energy and to balance overall diet-with its high and varied minerals, animo acids, vitamins and others components- both important uses in our present age of accelerated life styles that neglect balanced living. Maca stimulates the functions of endocrine system in both men and women over 40; it helps to ameliorate the discomforts of the ageing process.
Maca is considered an anti-aging and anti-stress.
Its sterol components offer benefitis, in particular strengthening the inmune system.

In the Andes Maca is considered the Fountain of the Youth, having been consumed for centuries, with no reports of any untoward secondary consequences to health.
