Andean Adaptogen Maca has been utilized as a medicinal food for over 2,000 years by the people of the high altitude Andes regions of Peru and Bolivia. Maca was an important staple of their diet as it is able to grow wild and survive the harsh climates. Maca supported the people to adapt, reproduce, and thrive in harsh conditions that include severe cold, rugged terrain, low oxygen, strong sunlight and intense winds. Highly nutritious, Maca has been used as a staple food source by the people of Central Peru for thousands of years, as well as a ceremonial offering in traditional sacred rites, as currency, and as medicine to improve overall health in both animals and people. Maca is nutrient-dense and naturally rich in copper, vitamin C, potassium as well as trace elements like iodine, iron, and zinc, fatty acids, and amino acids.
