Maca Root

What is it?

Peruvian Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) is an adaptogenic root native to the high Andes of Peru, traditionally used to support hormonal balance, energy, stamina, and libido. Often referred to as “nature’s vitality root,” Maca helps both men and women adapt to stress, regulate hormones, and improve reproductive health. In Rooted supplement blends, we use authentic, sun-dried Peruvian Maca to ensure potency and purity.

Source:

• Root: Lepidium meyenii (Maca Root)

How does it work?

Maca is rich in plant sterols, flavonoids, and macamides compounds that support the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which governs your body’s hormonal response to stress.

In women, it can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce PMS, and support mood. In men, Maca is known to support natural testosterone levels, libido, and fertility. Unlike synthetic hormone boosters, Maca gently nourishes and balances over time without overstimulation.
