In these inhospitable climate conditions, maca grows in soils especially rich in minerals. Therefore maca contains an exceptional concentration of trace elements : calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, silica, iodine, manganese, zinc, copper and sodium. Maca is also rich in phosphorus, carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids. These active principles are involved in the regulation of women and men natural hormonal system.
