What is Maca?

Maca ( Lepidium meyenii ) is a tuberous plant native to the Peruvian Andes. It belongs to the genus Lepidium in the family Brassicaceae. Maca root grows on volcanic soil and is exposed to strong temperature fluctuations and strong winds in the Peruvian Andes.

The Maca plant in the Peruvian Andes

In the Peruvian Andes, the root grows at altitudes over 3,000 meters. Cultivation is in the Peruvian spring (around October in our latitudes), and harvesting takes place in June/July. The sweet-tasting root is not only used as a food but also processed into a powder for use in dietary supplements. In Peru, the young leaves are also eaten raw or cooked.

Where does the maca powder in the Raab Maca capsules come from?

For the Raab Maca Capsules Premium Only maca roots from Peru, which grow at altitudes over 3,000 meters, are used. Maca roots have been cultivated in the Peruvian Andes for approximately 2,000 years. After harvesting, the roots are carefully dried and finely ground. The resulting powder is filled into capsules. The maca root powder contains secondary plant substances, including glucosinolates, which are known for their health benefits.
