Description

The Maca root is a hardy cruciferous
vegetable cultivated in an inhospitable region of the Andean Mountains
at altitudes from approximately 12,500-14,500 feet. Native Peruvians
have used Maca for several thousand years, as a medicinal food to
enhance fertility, libido, to support healthy erectile function in men,
and to alleviate PMS & menopausal symptoms in women. It was used by
the warriors of the Inca King for energy and stamina.

Maca
is rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, calcium, magnesium,
and iron, and includes fatty acids including linolenic, palmitic and
oleic acids, and polysaccharides. Maca is an adaptogen, which means it
helps the body adapt to stress, and promotes healthy hormonal balance.
Because endocrine gland balance and immune system function are so
interrelated, it often notably promotes a healthy immune system.

HOW IS ROYAL MACA® DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LEADING BRANDS OF MACA?

• Royal Maca® is Certified Organic. Whole World Botanicals was the first U.S. company (Since 2000) to produce certified organic maca root products.
• Royal Maca is produced from Sun Dried Maca Roots.
  The roots are dried slowly in the sun for 6 to 8 weeks after
  harvesting. This is essential for the optimal conversion of their
  glucosinolates to isothiocyanates—a secondary metabolite of maca
  believed to be important for maca’s hormone balancing properties. Many
  other companies dry their maca roots in 4 or 5 hours in commercial
  dryers, which causes the maca to lose most of its hormone balancing
  effects.
• Royal Maca® is a potent root extract
  prepared by a proprietary extrusion (gelatinzation) process, involving
  high heat for a few seconds. The resulting product is highly
  concentrated (4:1), with a low carbohydrate content.
• Royal Maca ® is bioenergetically grown according to millennia old traditions.
  The maca seed is both planted and harvested on the full moon, with
  prayers and with both men and women participating in the planting and
  harvesting, a practice believed to be important to the balance of the
  male and female energies in the plants.
• Whole World Botanicals Practices Fair Trade and Community Involvement:
  Whole World Botanicals has worked with the same five maca growing
  communities for the last 15 years. WWB pays significantly higher than
  market price for the maca roots it buys and offers interest- free loans
  and free technical assistance for the improvement of their maca crop
  production.
• Whole World Botanicals helps to protect the environment in the Andes of Peru
  through supporting organic maca production and through the promotion of
  the use of solar energy by maca farmers for heating their homes and
  cooking their food.
• Whole World Botanicals offers a Hot Line for its customers to answer questions about the use of its product. Customers received individualized support in the most effective use of Royal Maca products.
