Maca root is a plant native to the harsh, high-altitude climates of the Andes Mountains in Peru. Grown at elevations above 3,500 meters, it is one of the few plants that thrives in such extreme conditions. Maca is part of the cruciferous vegetable family and has a distinct turnip-like shape. It comes in several colors, including yellow (the most common), red, and blackeach offering slightly different benefits. Traditionally used by Andean cultures as a source of energy and fertility enhancement, Maca is now celebrated worldwide as an adaptogen. It helps the body adapt to physical and emotional stress, supports hormonal balance, increases stamina, and may improve libido in both men and women. It is typically consumed in powder, capsule, or liquid extract form.
