Black Maca Root Powder

Black Maca Root Powder is the ground form of the black variety of maca (Lepidium meyenii), a root vegetable native to the Andes Mountains of Peru. Out of the three main maca types (yellow, red, black), black maca is considered the rarest and most potent, especially for energy, stamina, fertility, and brain health.

Black Maca Root Powder is produced by drying and grinding black maca roots into fine powder. Traditionally consumed by Andean communities as food and medicine. Rich in macamides, macaenes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
