Also known as “Peruvian Ginseng”, Maca is a root vegetable that ancient Inca and Peruvian civilisations have used for centuries to increase stamina and enhance fertility.

Now recognised as an endocrine adaptogen, Maca provides a unique set of nutrients that work directly to support hormonal balance where needed. More doctors and nutritionists now recommend this superfood as one of the best natural ways to regulate endocrine health as well as improve energy and stress levels, enhance metabolism and promote general well being.

At only 10 calories per teaspoon, this super supplement has a delicious nutty, vanilla taste making it a perfect addition to any smoothie or shake when you need that natural burst of energy.
