A sacred medicinal root vegetable that grows only in the remote mountain region of Junin in Peru above an altitude of 3500m. Maca benefits the brain and helps to develop focus and memory in people of all ages. Science has now shown that the secret to Maca’s activity lies within the unique biochemicals it produces as it dries called Macamides, that act to balance and benefit the brain and the way it responds to stressors via the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The result of consuming Maca regularly is an improvement in reaction to stressors in our brain and better control over our nervous system so we don’t experience such wild swings in hormones, mood, energy, immunity and cognition. Maca protects our adrenals and provides strength from within and can return your body back to a strong and resilient balance, particularly during times of chronic stress. Source
