The research on maca
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root grown high in the Peruvian Andes, used as food and in traditional medicine for centuries and studied in modern controlled trials for its effects on mood, energy, and wellbeing. The findings below describe what the peer-reviewed literature reports. Everyone responds differently, and these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
2016: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 175 adults, red and black maca extracts were associated with improvements in mood, energy, and health-related quality of life over 12 weeks.

Maca varieties differ: research notes that red, black, and yellow maca carry different bioactive compounds, so a full-spectrum blend draws on the profile of each.

The Andean root for everyday vitality
High in the Peruvian Andes, at altitudes where little else grows, maca has been cultivated as food and tonic for centuries — prized by the people who live there for stamina and resilience. Modern research has begun catching up: in a 12-week placebo-controlled trial, red and black maca were associated with improvements in mood, energy, and quality of life.
This blend brings together all three maca varieties — red, black, and yellow, each with its own bioactive profile — for a full-spectrum supplement at over 1,500 mg per serving, with a touch of black pepper to aid absorption. It's for anyone who wants steady, natural energy and vitality — the kind that builds over weeks of consistent use, without the spike and crash of a stimulant.
