What is Maca?

The Maca plant, scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, is often referred to as Peruvian ginseng. It grows mainly in the Andes of central Peru, under harsh conditions and at very high altitudes - over 4000 metres.
Maca is a cruciferous vegetable and therefore related to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale.

Studies about Maca

Clinical tests on Maca were carried out at the University of Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Healthy adults (men & women), who were given Maca as capsules, were tested for sexual behaviour, erectile function and physical well-being.

Maca increased sexual desire by 180% compared to the test group. It increased sperm volume, doubled sperm count and mobility. Maca also showed positive effects on brain processing ability.

There are many different types of Maca. Maca e.g. from Chile or Bolivia and even synthetic Maca. Only the genuine organic Maca, which grows in the Peruvian Andes at more than 3000 meters above sea level, has all the positive effects described and scientifically studied. The official name is Lepidium Meyenii. This Maca is available at Fairvital. Furthermore, the Maca used by Fairvital also comes from organic cultivation according to DE-ÖKO-24.
