Maca: the hormone healthy root.
Supports the liver. Nutrient dense. Energy enhancing.
Hormones naturally fluctuate at various stages in life, like in puberty, pregnancy, menopause and even regularly cycle every day!

And that's where maca root comes in!
Maca root is generally consumed in powder form and is loaded with unique health benefits. Even in ancient times, warriors consumed maca root to boost their stamina and strength before going into battle! 🤯 Most notably, maca stimulates the endocrine system, which helps maintain hormonal balance. ⬇
