This heat is said to destroy beneficial elements. Even though gelatinised maca may be more bioavailable and concentrated, we prefer the more natural, raw version.
Maca grows high up in the Peruvian Andes mountains where the extremely mineral-rich soils account for its reportedly high levels of energy, protein, minerals and dietary fibre.
Health benefits of black maca are said to be:
Boosts Athletic Performance – bioavailable protein for stamina and faster recovery
Improves Cognitive Function – increases blood circulation for mental agility
Strengthens Bones – contains more calcium than milk for bone support
Boosts Libido – oxygen-enhancing and hormone-balancing for lovers
Increases Fertility – overall hormonal & conception support for both sexes
Improves Adrenal Function – adaptogenic, balances hormones & reduces fatigue
Female Hormone Tonic – reduces PMT as it’s a natural alternative to HRT
Reduces Stress – holistically balances and stabilises the body
Male Hormone Tonic – improves sperm count & motility; raises testosterone
