[RMACA]
$24.95

Red Maca, Organic Raw

Whole raw organic red "exquisite" maca (Botanical names: Lepidium meyenii and Lepidium peruvianum) powder is a great alternative for everyone who does not yet use maca to improve their lives. It has a milder taste then regular maca. This whole raw organic red maca powder contains all of the plant spirit, minerals and fiber produced from red/purple maca bulbs.

Phytochemical screening showed that extract of Red Maca has alkaloids, steroids, tannins, saponins, and cardiotonic glycosides. Examination of three ecotypes of Maca showed the highest peak values were observed for Red Maca, intermediate values for Yellow Maca and low values for Black Maca. Epidemiological studies have found that consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Cruciferous (Brassica) vegetables are broccoli, cabbage, mustard and collard greens, bok choy, and members of the genus Lepidium, including Maca. In the many hundreds of cruciferous species investigated, all are able to synthesize glucosinolates. The absolute content of glucosinolates in fresh Maca is relatively higher than reported in other cruciferous crops. The most abundant glucosinolates detected in Maca were the aromatic glucosinolates. It is possible that Lepidium meyenii (Red Maca) may have important effects on prostate.

The organic Maca root has been used in Peru since before the times of the ancient Incans. The maca plant is similar to a radish or turnip and has amazing properties and is becoming more well known of for its effectiveness in health challenges, including osteoporosis, male impotence, menopause, menstrual difficulties, chronic fatigue, and depression.

This raw red maca is certifed organic and powerful in its therapeutic value. Many people usually take 1 to 2 teaspoons and up to 2 Tablespoons per day depending on their body type. Start with 1 teaspooon or less. Red maca comes in 1 size, 16 oz. and if you take 1 teaspoons per day this gives you over a 90 day supply.
