Products Description
Maca Extract Powder is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from dried roots of Lepidium meyenii Walp. via low‑temperature extraction and spray‑drying. It retains key bioactive constituents: macamides, macaenes, glucosinolates, phytosterols, vitamins, and chelated minerals.
Mechanistically, macamides and macaenes act on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis to modulate endocrine balance, support healthy energy metabolism, and promote physical stamina by reducing lactate accumulation and supporting mitochondrial function. Glucosinolates and polyphenols contribute antioxidant activity and cellular protection. The mineral complex (calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium) supports musculoskeletal health and normal reproductive function. This ingredient acts as an adaptogen to help maintain homeostasis under physical and mental stress without direct stimulation of the central nervous system.
