Paradise Herbs Maca Root Powder Organic -- 14.11 oz

Made The Way Nature Intended! Paradise Peruvian Gold Certified Organic Maca Root Raw Powder comes from premium hand cultivated maca roots organically grown on high altitude plains in pristine areas of the Junin region in the central Andes mountains of Peru. Maca has one of the highest frost tolerances of any cultivated plant, allowing it to grow at altitudes of 13,000 feet to 15,800 feet above sea level. It is here that the Maca plant adapts to the harsh growing environment and absorbs key minerals from the Andes sedimentary soil. Maca is a root vegetable from the mustard family that has been used as food and medicine for thousands of years in Peru. Maca's nutritional components include alkaloids, essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. It is said to promote endurance, energy, vitality and stamina and to improve sexual function and virility.
