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.
Cultivated in high altitudes in the mountainous regions of Peru, maca has been used for centuries by the natives for energy, libido, stamina and fertility. Although all varieties of maca basically provide the same health benefits, they each provide different effects on osteoporosis, libido, mood, mental focus and prostate issues. If you've been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, you may want to ask your doctor prior to ingesting maca.
