Getting to know maca
Maca, also known as Lepidium meyenii, is a root vegetable from the Andes that has been used in local traditions for centuries. It is valued for its versatility and rich nutritional profile.
Understanding maca’s composition
Our maca is available in three forms: powder (maca peruana), plant-based capsules and liquid extract. Each form contains the full potency of the root, without unnecessary fillers or processing. Maca naturally contains various bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, glucosinolates, macamides and macaenes. Careful processing preserves these compounds, maintaining the natural complexity of the plant material. Pure, potent and suitable for daily use.

Our mission is that people with the correct information choose their health products
Most health claims are currently linked to vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. For herbs and botanicals, discussions have been ongoing for years. Various on-hold claims have been submitted for this. These are currently awaiting approval by the European Commission. The claims may therefore currently only be used if there is scientific substantiation for the health effect.
