Also known as Peruvian ginseng, maca has been used by the people living in Peru for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac and to sustain life in the harsh mountain climate. Maca was used by Inca warriors to increase their physical strength in battle. Maca root contains many biologically active ingredients to support vitality and energy.

In addition, the root has a high content of carbohydrates and fiber and a low fat content. There are 13 types of maca, depending on the color of the root.
