Black Maca is a root vegetable originating from Peru with quite a few benefits.  It is known as an adaptogenic herb, meaning it supports our ability to adapt to our environment, whether that be physically, mentally or emotionally.

It is quite a revered herb, as evidenced by its nickname, Peruvian Ginseng (though not being related to Chinese/Panax Ginseng)

Maca root is said to increase energy, endurance, strength, mood and libido as well as supporting muscle growth. 

Beyond being used as a herb with all these beneficial effects, Maca is also considered a superfood, having a high nutrient profile, especially when compared to other root vegetables
