Why consume red maca powder?
The synergy of maca nutrients (naturally provided in the right proportions) helps the body to recover from various ailments, creating balance and well-being. Its effects are mainly focussed on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, it supports the body in the production of hormones and thereby creates a balanced hormonal balance 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 poorly nourished bodies and increase energy and stamina.
Maca is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, selenium and others. It is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca is rich in biologically utilisable protein with an average of 11% in the dried root.
It has more calcium than milk, which is essential for nerves, circulatory system, 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 increases energy levels and counteracts mental and physical fatigue and stress. It helps us feel strong, energised, grounded, happy and ready to face any challenge. Its energy is immediate and long-lasting, making us feel active and alive throughout the day without over-boosting our bodies. Besides all this, maca has a pleasant malty flavour and can be used in many different ways.
For legal reasons (Swiss Foodstuffs Ordinance), as a food retailer we are not allowed to make any statements about possible effects. Do your own research on maca on the Internet. We find Dr Schweikart 's website 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 hormone balancing, female fertility and bone and prostate health. Red maca comprises about 25% of the annual harvest. It is the sweetest variety of all. The red maca tubers all come from altitudes of over 4000 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 production standards and quality controls. Our powder is made from selected, sun-dried roots using a special production process, without the use of heat or irradiation at any stage of the production process.
Our suppliers work with small farmers, creating jobs for the local population and advising them on how to organise themselves as small businesses by providing training and financial support. This is a means of raising the standard of living of small farmers and at the same time increasing their crop yields.
History and traditional use
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a savoury root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. It has been cultivated since before the time of the Incas and has been a staple food for the indigenous peoples of the Andes and a source of energy and stamina for thousands of years.
In our modern world, maca root is consumed up to 3 times a day by Peruvians and other people around the world. It is used by professional athletes to the elderly to provide extra energy and stamina.
How to use red maca powder?
Maca has a unique flavour that not all first-time users like the same. We find it malty, earthy and slightly sweet or sometimes a little nutty. Mix the maca powder with water, (nut) milk of your choice or as a supplementary ingredient. The flavour spectrum is perfect for smoothies, muesli or desserts.
Tip for those who still need to get used to the maca flavour: The combination with cocoa powder Criollo is not only tasty, but also interesting in terms of nutrients.
Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and is therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like it together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes.
Start with a small amount of ½ teaspoon per day and increase up to 1-2 tablespoons per day.
