Organic Black Maca imported from Peru (100 capsules)



Maca Vitae® is a trademark that guarantees the authenticity of Andean maca, imported directly from the Peruvian highlands (departments of Junin 4500 meters of altitude) where maca’s reputation was born. There grows the best and highest quality maca. Due to worldwide demands, maca has been being introduced in other regions and countries (e.g. China) but the quality of maca is just not reproducible or comparable to that grown in the high Andes.

• Superior than other Maca varieties for increasing memory, concentration and learning skills

Grown in the high Peruvian Andes, Maca is a turnip root-like superfoods, one of the few considered to be an "adaptogen", that is able to raise overall life force energy, and acts in your body to support what your body needs to balance – especially in terms of your hormonal system. Because of these adaptive properties, it is sometimes called the Peruvian Ginseng.

Not all Maca varieties are the same. Yellow is the most common variety, followed by Red and Black Maca.



Black Maca is recommended for:

• Men wishing to increase their sexual function (sperm count and motility)
  
• Men and women wishing to boost their libido
• Athletes looking for extra stamina and strength
• Anyone looking to improve memory, concentration and focus skills
• Anyone looking to improve their bone strength and density

• Black and Red Maca, but not Yellow Maca, have protective effects on bone architecture (density and strength)
• Black Maca was found to be superior than other Maca varieties for increasing memory, concentration and learning skills.
• Supports the most rapid muscle growth and endurance of all varieties of Maca

Maca is a nutritional powerhouse, containing 13-16% protein, 8.5% fibre, 19 essential amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and D, minerals iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, sodium, potassium, calcium, several glucosinolates, 20 free fatty acids, and unique compounds called macaenes and macamides.

The term "Gelatinized Maca" has nothing to do with gelatin or containing any gelatin. Gelatinization is a process where Maca roots are boiled and pressurized to remove starch content.  The resulting Gelatinized Maca powder is easier to digest than Raw Maca powders.

Recommended dosage: Take 3 to 6 capsules a day with water in the morning, preferably with meals.
Best before: Aug 2018

Dosing considerations:

• Consider your weight. The dosage levels we recommend above are for people who weigh 75 kg. Bigger people can generally take more. Smaller people should start with a smaller amount.
• Consider your overall health and age. A 30 year old athlete can start taking a higher Maca dosage than a 75 year old retiree. The younger and healthier you are the more you can start with.
• Start with a smaller amount and work your way up.
• Timing - Maca can energise some people to the point where it’s difficult to fall asleep. If you experience this, try not to take Maca after 2pm.
