Maca is a traditional Andean root long associated with overall wellness, with many people using it to support balance, and everyday wellbeing. The highest-quality maca is grown in the Peruvian Central Andes, where the unique high-altitude climate produces a nutrient-dense and potent root. Used for nearly 2,000 years, maca first became known through indigenous communities who began consuming it after observing its positive effects on their livestock. Today, maca remains a popular superfood ingredient in modern health and nutrition supplements.
