Maca redirects here. For other uses, see Maca (disambiguation). Lepidium meyenii (maca) is an herbaceous biennial plant of the crucifer family native to the high Andes of Peru. It was found at the Meseta de BombÃ³n close to Junin Lake in the Andes. It is grown for its fleshy hypocotyl (a fused hypocotyl and taproot), which is used as a root vegetable and a medicinal herb.
Maca root has been used extensively as a hormone balancer, and research shows that its high nutrient density and phytochemical content may be the underlying contributors to this effect. Researchers observed that a maca root supplement helped modulate many common symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, sleep disruptions, night sweats, and depression.
