Product Description
Peruvian Maca Root: A Powerful Adaptogen
Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a certified organically-grown, sun-dried root that grows in the harsh and extreme conditions of the Andes Mountains in central Peru. Sometimes referred to as "Peruvian ginseng," it has been consumed for centuries by the indigenous peoples of the area and has gained recognition for its health benefits.
What sets Peruvian maca apart is that it is cultivated at the highest elevations on the planet for any crop. HealthForce SuperFoods' TruGanic™ Sourcing standard ensures lab testing for GMOs and pesticides, so you can be confident you're getting a pure product.
One of the vital health benefits of maca is its ability to act as an adaptogen. Adaptogens, coined by Dr. Israel Brekhman, are powerful botanical allies that work on the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, helping us to adapt to different stressors. This supports innate resiliency and state of balance in already healthy individuals. Adaptogens also help modulate the immune system and support healthy endocrine function, so your inner energy and vigor are maintained.
To make "raw" maca powder easier to digest, a gelatinization process was developed in the 1990s. This boils and pressurizes the maca to reduce the starch content, concentrating the maca's unique properties.
HealthForce SuperFoods is committed to hard-core standards, so their Peruvian maca root is certified organic, vegan, kosher, and gluten-free. There are no fillers, binders, or flow agents, and packaging is done in recyclable amber glass for maximum product integrity.
This powerful adaptogen is manufactured in the USA, using gluten-free, kosher-compliant, NSF International/ANSI cGMP certified practices in a peanut-free, Wi-Fi free facility by Excelsior Alchemy, HealthForce SuperFoods' sister company.
