The Science

What Is Maca?

Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp) is a cruciferous root vegetable native to the high altitude Andean plateau of Peru, cultivated at elevations of 4,000 to 4,500 metres above sea level in the Junin region. It is one of the few food crops capable of growing at such extreme altitudes, where it is exposed to intense UV radiation, extreme temperature fluctuations, and thin, nutrient poor soils. Maca has been cultivated and consumed as a food and traditional medicine by Andean peoples for over 2,000 years, valued for its nutritional density and its traditional use as an adaptogen to support energy, stamina, and resilience under physical and environmental stress. The hypocotyl (the enlarged underground stem, commonly called the root) is the primary part used for supplementation and is the medicinal part specified in this formula.

Why Gelatinized Maca?

Raw maca root contains significant amounts of starch, which can be difficult to digest and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Gelatinization is a gentle heat and pressure process that removes the starch content from maca root, resulting in a more concentrated, more easily digestible form of maca with improved bioavailability of its active compounds. Gelatinized maca is particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive digestive systems or those who have experienced gastrointestinal discomfort with raw maca powder. The gelatinization process does not use gelatin and the product remains fully vegan.

Maca as an Adaptogen

Adaptogens are a class of herbal substances defined by their ability to help the body adapt to physical and emotional stress, supporting resilience and energy without overstimulation. Maca is classified as an adaptogen in herbal medicine based on its traditional use and its nutritional profile, which includes glucosinolates, macamides, macaridine, and a broad spectrum of minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. In herbal medicine, maca is used as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress, supporting vitality and stamina as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Red Clover Flower Powder and Flax Seed

This formula includes red clover flower powder (Trifolium pratense, 400mg per capsule) and flax seed (Linum usitatissimum, 200mg per capsule) as non medicinal ingredients. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a leguminous plant whose flowers contain isoflavones, a class of phytoestrogens. Flax seed (Linum usitatissimum) is a rich source of lignans, another class of phytoestrogens, as well as alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. As non medicinal ingredients, no licensed health claims are made for red clover flower powder or flax seed in this formula.
