NOW Foods Organic Maca Pure Powder provides 100% pure, certified organic Lepidium meyenii root in a versatile 7 oz powder — ideal for blending into smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, or baked goods for sustained adaptogenic energy and hormonal support. Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable native to the high Peruvian Andes that has been used for over 2,000 years as both a food and medicine for energy, stamina, fertility, and hormonal balance. Unlike hormone-containing herbs, maca works through neuroendocrine mechanisms that help the body regulate its own hormonal production — benefiting both men and women. The organic powder provides the full spectrum of maca's beneficial compounds including glucosinolates, macamides, and macaridine. USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO. NOW Foods manufactures in their GMP-certified facility with identity verification.
