Maca Powder & what Is So “Super” About It

Maca root powder is high in good carbohydrates and rich in a number of nutrients, including vitamin C, copper, and iron (5g per 1 teaspoon). It also contains many bioactive plant compounds.

Maca is a plant that grows in central Peru in the high plateaus of the Andes Mountains. It has been cultivated as a vegetable crop in this area for at least 3000 years.

Nutrients such as Vitamin C are important for our immunity, growth, and development of our body tissues, and are important for body functions such as the formation of collagen, the absorption of iron, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
