Maca (Lepidium meyenii) or Peruvian Ginseng has been cultivated for thousands of years in the mountainous areas of the Andes and is a food used to revitalize the body.
Maca has an interesting story. In the 18th century the Spaniards conquered South America. But after a while they discovered a terrible problem: their animals lost their ability to give birth to humans as well. No Spaniard was born in South America in 50 years. Just when the Spaniards wanted to abandon this new continent they had conquered, an Indian gave them Maca, saying it was good for fertility. Not trusting the Indians, they first killed the animals. Seeing the results, they also started taking Maca, and thus, they were able to resume their sexual life without problems and had offspring.
Maca root contains over 50 phyto-substances, which include hormonal precursors and nutrients that improve human health. It is rich in protein (with all the essential amino acids), iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, carbohydrates, phosphorus, fiber and almost all vitamins.
