Maca Powder Information
Also known as Peruvian ginseng and by its scientific name Lepidium meyenii, maca root is a highly nutritious vegetable that contains plenty of fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, potassium, vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin and thiamin. In addition, maca root contains unique fatty acids such as macamides as well as phytochemicals with antioxidant properties. With such a powerful phytochemical and nutrient profile, it is not surprising that maca root has been associated with a number of health benefits.
The most beneficial part of the maca plant is the fleshy hypocotyl, classifying it as a “root vegetable”. The organic composition of maca is what makes it such a valuable and beneficial plant that continues to grow in popularity around the world.
By adding maca to your diet, you can balance your vitamin and mineral intake, because it is a great source of B12 vitamins, along with B1, B2, C, and E. The plant is also a rich source of protein, a beneficial attribute for vegetarians and vegans, and it contains the ever-important trace elements of iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. It is itself composed of approximately 60-75% carbohydrates, and 10-14% proteins, along with fiber and a small amount of fat. The high content of proteins and important nutrients may explain its connection to higher energy, clearer thinking, an increase in sexual libido, and many other interconnected benefits of this small South American plant.
