What
is Maca?
Maca
is a form of radish (Lepidium Peruvianum Ch.) which grows in Peru. It
is grown at over 4000m in the Andes and is the only crop in the world
grown at such altitude.
The Incas

take it daily as a food.

over fifty active phytochemicals identified in maca. It is full of much
needed minerals and vitamins. Our maca is grown without chemicals and
