Maca and its active ingredients

Macamides and macaridines

Macamides are acylethanolamines and benzylamine specific to maca (Lepidium meyenii), which are absent from all other known plants. These are the main compounds that distinguish maca, studied for their role in libido, fertility, and vitality. They act primarily on the endocannabinoid system without direct interaction with sex hormones, which distinguishes maca from phytohormone plants. Preliminary human clinical studies have documented effects on libido and well-being. These properties stem from traditional Andean use; there is no official EFSA health claim for maca.

Glucosinolates

Maca contains specific glucosinolates (glucotropaeolin, m-methoxybenzyl glucosinolate) that differ from those in standard cruciferous vegetables. They contribute to the root's biological profile without being phytohormones.

Natural minerals

Maca is naturally rich in zinc (normal reproductive system function, EFSA), magnesium (reduction of fatigue, EFSA), and iodine (normal thyroid function, EFSA), concentrated by the Andean volcanic soils.

Who is this maca for?

• People wishing to support their vitality and libido with a traditional Andean adaptogenic plant
• People experiencing periods of fatigue looking for a complete and energizing superfood
