Andes Organic Maca™

Maca (Lepidium meyenii ) could be considered a “Peruvian Power Plant”. Although it is not a stimulant, it has been traditionally used to support healthy libido, energy, and stamina.* Current research has focused on maca’s support of energy and mood, reproductive health – sperm quality and quantity, libido, and relief of menopausal symptoms.* 1-7 

A recent clinical trial in which male cyclists supplemented with maca showed significant support for physical athletic performance and for healthy libido.1 Another clinical study found that maca supported healthy sperm count and motility in adult men, while others, including a double-blind clinical trial have also shown that maca may support well-being and healthy libido in adult men.2-4

Maca may provide benefits outside of its traditional uses, supporting prostate health, blood pressure and blood sugar levels already within normal limits, and weight management and bone health.*5-7 Maca appears to do this by supporting healthy levels of key hormones through the combined effect of different bioactive compounds. It showed no impact on testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, or prolactin levels.

Andes Organic Maca™

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a member of the mustard (brassica) family. It grows in a narrow band of elevation (about 13,500 to 14,500 feet) and it only does truly well in its native central Andean range; attempts to cultivate maca in other mountainous regions around the world haven’t been successful. Maca has traditionally been used for centuries to support healthy libido, energy, and stamina in men and women, often by mixing the cooked, dried root of the plant in a drink preparation or with other foods.

Part of EuroPharma’s mission is to make America healthier, one person at a time. But that mission really extends well beyond our borders. A case in point? The Fair Trade maca that we use in our Andes Organic Maca supplement, brought to the market with the cooperation of Medicine Hunter, Chris Kilham.

Organically grown and sustainably harvested, the maca we purchase doesn’t just make supplements – it provides a healthy economy and thriving community for Peruvian families who have been the stewards of the Andes for generations. Some of these benefits include upgrading and improving the dental office, equipping and connecting an internet center for the town, and rebuilding and re-furbishing the local school. After all, when it comes to good health, everyone should truly thrive.
