Source Naturals Maca is a standardized extract of this hardy and highly
valued plant. Maca is grown at high elevations in the Andes region of central
Peru using no fertilizers or pesticides. It has been used for centuries by
indigenous Peruvians as a food source and based upon traditional Peruvian folk
belief, for increasing stamina and energy. Because of this traditional use, maca
has been called Peruvian ginseng. Maca is known to contain various nutrients,
including amino acids and minerals. Maca also contains sterols and fatty acids,
such as linolenic, palmitic, and oleic acid. The biologically active molecule,
benzyl isothiocyanate, is also found in maca.
