Maca Root, the super food for health and vitality !!!!!
Hi Stemmians!
Today, I want to present you, this new super food that everyone is talking about... MACA!
Cultivated in the heart of Peru on the Andes mountains, maca is nicknamed "the gold of the Incas".
The maca root is found only in one place in the world !!! In Peru, and in two distinct regions: Junin and Pasco
It was first of all the Spaniards who discovered it in the 16th century, using it to feed their horses. It is subsequently adopted by the Incas and local peasants. Even today, the Peruvians cultivate it in the respect of ancestral methods and consume it daily.
Maca is considered an "adaptogen", a name given to certain herbs, plants and natural substances. It helps the body to adapt naturally to stress factors, such as a busy schedule, a demanding job or a disease, for example.
Another fact about the root of maca is that it has been considered a very powerful aphrodisiac and a traditional fertility of populations living in the Andes. I'll let you try ...;)

Maca is the truth! I have been using for years now and really gives me strength from a hormonal level. I have found the roasted maca to be my personal favorite!

I am consuming MACA for years.
Only problem I got was that my sexual desire went to high. It drove me nuts literally. And i started having some crazy sexual encounters.
Everything is good in Moderation i what my experience is with this plant
Thank you for this feedback vox00 !!! Indeed, it is advisable to consume the maca according to precise dosages, as for all the good things ;). specialists recommend: between 1.5 and 3 grams per day. because of the amount of minerals it contains...

Be careful if you have heart problems. Otherwise, a wonderful mild natural stimulant!
Wow, I have to get my hands on some Maca. I'm wondering what it tastes like.
