Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a savory root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. It was cultivated even before the time of the Incas. This natural superfood has been a staple food and a source of energy and endurance for the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years. It helps them adapt to the extreme temperature fluctuations of a day and cope with rapid climatic changes during travel, as well as immense altitudes (over 5000 meters).
In the modern world, maca root is consumed up to three times a day. Professional athletes , but also older people, use it for extra energy and endurance.
You can add maca to your morning muesli, drink it in fruit juice and smoothies, or enjoy it as a warm beverage in water or, like Peruvians, in hot grain drinks. SONQO recommends 1-2 heaped tablespoons as a serving. Experiment and find your ideal amount. Start with 1 teaspoon of maca and increase the amount day by day. It is recommended to take maca very regularly to benefit from its full effects.
Maca is rich in nutrients and supports the body's regeneration in the face of various ailments. This natural superfood is an excellent dietary supplement. Important: It does not replace a balanced diet. It promotes balance and well-being. Its effects primarily target the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, supporting the body's hormone production and thereby creating a balanced hormonal system, especially for women going through menopause, with all the associated health benefits.
Energized and ready to face the challenges
