Whole Formulas Maca Root Extract, 1 fl oz

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a hearty root vegetable native to the high elevations of the Andes Mountains. Deeply revered in Peruvian culture, it’s been used as a food and medicine for thousands of years. Traditionally, maca has been said to promote an increase in energy and sex drive. Ancient Incan warriors ate maca before battle to boost their performance.

Maca has been called “Peruvian ginseng,” not because it has any botanical connection to ginseng, but because its traditional use is quite similar. Spanish and Quechua names for maca include maca-maca, maino, ayak chichira, and ayak willku.

Considered a superfood by many, maca contains an array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, sterols and antioxidants. It’s also an adaptogen, which may promote harmony of the body’s systems and an increased resistance to the negative effects of stress.

Maca Root Promotes:

• Energy and endurance
• Enhanced sex drive (libido) in men and women
• Positive mood
• Harmony of the body’s systems
• A healthy stress response

The Benefits of Herbal Extracts

Potency

The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason.

Bioavailability

Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption.

Convenience

Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.

1 fl oz in amber glass bottle with dropper top.
