Maca (Lepidium meyenii), a plant native to Peru, is a cruciferous, mineral-rich plant whose roots are eaten as a vegetable by the indigenous peoples. Maca balances the effects of major steroid hormones allowing it to assist in the maintenance of sexual function in aging men and women, and can be helpful in normalizing mood related menopausal symptoms in women.

AOR Advantage

AOR’s Maca is grown in an environment free of pesticides and fertilizers. The harvesting process is socially as well as ecologically responsible: the root is purchased directly from traditional cattle herders in the Andes. The decision-making process on land use is communitarian/consensus-based, with the communal council having final say on crop planting and harvesting. This allows these communities to retain aspects of their traditional culture while integrating to a necessary degree into the prevailing cash economy.
