What is Maca Root?
Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Andes Mountains of Peru, with a long history of traditional use for energy, stamina, and vitality.
Why is it associated with male vitality?
A 2002 randomized, placebo-controlled study of healthy men aged 21 to 56, run over twelve weeks and published in Andrologia, found that self-reported sexual desire improved from the eighth week of Maca supplementation onward — notably independent of testosterone levels, which did not change.
