Maca root (Lepidium meyenii) is a nutrient-dense root vegetable native to the Andes mountains of Peru. Often referred to as a superfood, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Maca is commonly used to boost energy, enhance stamina, and improve libido. It may also support hormonal balance and reduce symptoms of menopause. Typically available in powder or capsule form, it can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods for a nutritional boost.
