VARIETIES OF PERUVIAN MACA

Varieties of Peruvian Maca: The Rainbow of Maca

For centuries, the indigenous people of the Peruvian Andes have cultivated six distinct varieties of Maca, each identified by its vibrant color: yellow, cream-white, red, violet, black, and grey. While cross-breeding has led to multicolored hybrids, today's global market primarily offers three eco-types: yellow, red, and black.

The color of Maca isn't just aesthetic; it signifies a unique concentration of its miraculously beneficial alkaloids, known as Macaenes. Historically, the Andean communities instinctively understood these differences.

Yellow Maca: The Versatile Everyday Boost

Yellow Maca, the most widely cultivated and exported variety (accounting for 75% of all Maca exports), is also the most affordable. It's a fantastic all-rounder, offering a wide array of benefits:
• Energy & Stamina: Noticeably increases energy levels and physical endurance.
• Holistic Health: Invigorates the entire body, strengthens immunity, and supports proper development in children.
• Metabolism & Rejuvenation: Accelerates metabolism and promotes healthier skin and hair.
• Mood & Stress: Acts as a natural anti-depressant and helps reduce stress.

Why it's great for children and seniors: Yellow Maca contains a less complex concentration of Macaenes alkaloids, making it gentle and appropriate for all age groups.

Red maca: The Women´s Wellness Ally

Beyond the general benefits offered by yellow Maca, the red variety is particularly renowned for its profound impact on women's health and hormonal balance.

Key Benefits for Women:

• Hormonal Harmony: Provides comprehensive hormonal balance.
• Energy & Vitality: Significantly raises energy levels and overall vitality.
• PMS Relief: Effectively alleviates numerous symptoms of PMS, promotes regularity of the menstrual cycle, and fosters a positive mood.
• Reproductive Health: Stimulates libido and creates ideal conditions for conception.
• Endocrine Regulation: Regulates thyroid gland activity, accelerates metabolism, and stabilizes TSH, estrogen, and blood glucose levels.
• Menopause Support: Minimizes the effects of menopause.
• Skin & Hair Renewal: Cleanses the face from acne and rapidly regenerates skin, hair, and nails.

Bone Health Powerhouse: Crucially, Red Maca stimulates the proper synthesis of calcium, magnesium, and iron. This makes it an excellent bone regenerator, efficiently stopping and, in some cases, even reversing osteoporosis. It is also proven to help in the treatment of anemia.

Important Considerations: Men should primarily use Red Maca only in cases of enlarged prostate, as it has proven benefits for this specific issue. Red Maca contains a more complex concentration of Macaenes, is more challenging to cultivate, and thus, more expensive than the yellow variety.

Black Maca: The Peak Performance Enhancer

Black Maca stands out for its exceptional impact on cognitive function and male vitality, making it a favorite among athletes and those seeking peak mental and physical performance.

Unlocking Mental & Physical Prowess:

• Brain Booster: Particularly famous for stimulating memory, concentration, learning efficiency, and overall cognitive intelligence.
• Male Potency & Fertility: The most effective variety for significantly increasing energy levels, stamina, potency, sexual desire, and fertility in men.
• Hormonal & Sleep Support: Improves sleep quality and stabilizes the secretion of testosterone, TSH, growth hormone, and blood glucose levels.
• Mood & Well-being: A great advantage of Black Maca is its contribution to a complete sense of peace and satisfaction, achieved through the natural regulation of serotonin, often called the "hormone of harmony and joy."

The Choice for Elite Performance: Black Maca is highly favored in professional sports and among celebrities worldwide. It boasts the most complex concentration of Macaenes, making it the most expensive and most difficult variety to cultivate.

Who can benefit: Black Maca can be used by both men and women, especially when the focus is on enhancing mental and physical abilities.

Which maca is right for you?

Choosing the right Maca variety depends on your individual health goals. Whether you're seeking a general vitality boost, hormonal balance, or enhanced mental performance, there's a Peruvian Maca variety perfectly suited to your needs.
