Description
Raw organic maca powder (Lepidium meyenii) sourced from Junin, Peru, grown at 4,100 metres above sea level in the Andes. Maca is the energising and revitalising superfood of the Incas, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years for its wide-ranging benefits to energy, hormonal balance and vitality.
Maca is an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body manage stress and maintain balance rather than pushing it in one direction. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and is traditionally revered for its ability to support the hormonal system in both men and women. Selected by our qualified herbalists for quality and potency. Available in a 150g bag or reusable glass container.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is maca powder good for? Maca is primarily used for energy, hormonal balance and vitality. As an adaptogen, it helps your body manage stress while supporting the endocrine system. It is traditionally valued for libido, stamina and mood support in both men and women.
Does maca give you energy like caffeine? No. Maca is not a stimulant. It supports sustained energy by nourishing the adrenal and hormonal systems rather than providing a spike and crash. For deeper energy support, it pairs well with cordyceps and ashwagandha.
Can women take maca? Yes. Maca is traditionally used by both men and women. It is particularly valued for supporting women through hormonal transitions including menstrual balance and menopausal symptoms. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have a hormone-sensitive condition.
Can I take maca during pregnancy? Consult your healthcare practitioner before using maca during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While maca is a food in Peru, its hormonal effects mean professional guidance is recommended during pregnancy.
