What it is.

Maca is a root vegetable from the cabbage and radish family. It thrives where almost nothing else grows: on the cold high plains of the Andes.

In Peru it has been farmed for at least two thousand years and eaten as food: boiled, baked or ground into flour for porridge and drinks. There it is an everyday food, not a supplement.

For supplements the root is dried and ground into a powder.

160 mg in the daily dose.

FEMME O2 puts three plants in one capsule: tribulus, maca and Siberian ginseng.

The maca is ground root: 80 mg per capsule and 160 mg in the daily dose of two capsules.
