by NOW Foods
"Peruvian maca root at 750mg — the Andean adaptogen for energy, libido, and hormonal balance"
Overview
NOW Maca provides 750mg of raw maca root (Lepidium meyenii) per capsule. Maca is a Peruvian cruciferous vegetable grown at high altitudes in the Andes, traditionally used for energy, stamina, and reproductive health. Research supports maca for libido enhancement in both men and women, energy without stimulation, and menopausal symptom relief. Unlike many adaptogens, maca works through nutritional mechanisms rather than HPA axis modulation. The 90-capsule count provides a 3-month supply.
