Why take red maca powder?
The synergy of maca’s nutrients (naturally present in the correct proportions) helps the body recover from various ailments, promoting balance and well-being. Its effects are mainly focused on the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland; it supports the body in producing hormones, thereby creating a balanced hormonal system with all the associated health benefits.
It significantly improves strength and stamina and is a libido-boosting superfood. It helps to rebuild a weakened immune system, remineralise malnourished bodies and increase energy and endurance.
Maca is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, selenium and other minerals. It is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca is rich in biologically available protein, with an average of 11% in the dried root.
It contains more calcium than milk, which is essential for the nervous system, the circulatory system, the growth of bones and teeth, and vital heart functions.
The maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth. We love it because it boosts energy levels and combats mental and physical fatigue as well as stress. It helps us feel strong, energised, grounded and happy, and ready to take on any challenge. Its energy is immediately noticeable and long-lasting, leaving us feeling active and lively all day long without overstimulating our bodies. On top of all this, maca has a pleasant, malty flavour and can be used in many different ways.
For legal reasons (Swiss Food Ordinance), as food retailers we are not permitted to make any claims regarding its potential effects. Please do your own research on maca online. We find Dr Schweikart’s website, amongst others, very informative. The different varieties are also described there.
What makes our red maca powder special?
Our red maca comes from 100% red maca roots. Studies have shown that they have the highest phytonutrient content of all maca colours. It is the most effective variety for general hormonal balance, female fertility, and bone and prostate health. Red maca accounts for around 25 per cent of the annual harvest. It is the sweetest variety of all. The red maca tubers all come from altitudes of over 4,000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru.
SamaraNatura Maca Powder is made from 100% pure, natural, organically grown maca roots, produced under strict manufacturing standards and quality controls. Our powder is made from selected, sun-dried roots using a special production process that does not involve heat or irradiation at any stage of the production process.
Our suppliers work with smallholders, thereby creating jobs for the local population and advising them on how to organise themselves as small business owners by offering training and financial support. This helps to raise the standard of living for smallholders whilst also increasing their crop yields.
History and traditional use
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a hearty root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. It was cultivated even before the time of the Incas and has been a staple food for the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years, as well as a source of energy and stamina.
In our modern world, the maca root is consumed by Peruvians and people all over the world up to three times a day. It is used by everyone from professional athletes to older people to provide extra energy and stamina.
How should red maca powder be used?
Maca has a unique flavour, which not everyone likes straight away when trying it for the first time. We find it malty, earthy and slightly sweet, or sometimes even a little nutty. Mix the maca powder with water, (nut) milk of your choice, or use it as an additional ingredient. Its flavour profile works very well in smoothies, muesli or desserts.
A tip for those who still need to get used to the taste of maca: combining it with Criollo cocoa powder is not only delicious but also nutritionally beneficial.
Maca also acts as a good thickener for soups, making it a delicious addition. We particularly like it with porridge and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes.
Start with a small amount of ½ teaspoon per day and increase to up to 1–2 tablespoons per day.
