Maca is a plant native to the Andes, revered for its many nutritional and medicinal properties. Maca is a true superfood, for it is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, plant sterols, protein, and essential fatty acids.

Maca provides support for hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and other menopausal symptoms. It enhances fertility and regulates and normalizes menstrual cycles. Maca is also considered an aphrodisiac tonic that boosts libido.
