Maca is the highest altitude growing plant in the world. Maca resembles a radish and is related to the potato family. There are four recognized types of Maca Root based on the color of the root, which varies from creamy yellow or light pink to dark purple or black.

As a nutritional supplement, Peruvian Maca has generalized tonic effects on the biochemical functioning of the human body. One of these effects is the enhancement of endocrine function, which includes all of the glands, and the hormones they secrete, that exist in the body and that control such conditions as fertility, sexual function, digestion, brain and nervous system physiology, and energy levels. Hormonal regulation is responsible for sensations related to sexual arousal, physical activity and mental-emotional states.

Maca root has also been called an adaptogen. Adaptogens are by definition substances that raise the physical body's state of resistance to diseases through physiological and emotional health improvements. Maca supports and rejuvenates overwhelmed, tired adrenal glands eventually resulting in greater energy, stamina, clarity of mind and an improvement in handling stress.
