How it works

Food for strength from the roof of the world

Maca isn't a passing trend. In Peru it's been eaten for centuries, and the Incas valued it so much they even used it to trade. It grows in cold and strong sun, where few plants survive, and that's why it's rich in natural nutrients. Here you get it in a capsule, in an exact dose.

1

You take it in the morning

2 capsules once a day, with a glass of water after breakfast. No schedules, no measuring out powder with a spoon.

2

A root rich in natural compounds

Maca is a root that survives harsh mountain conditions. It's traditionally valued as a natural tonic for energy, stamina and vitality.

3

It works with consistency

Maca is for daily use, not a one-off. Many people say that with regular use they feel more vigorous in the first few weeks. How it feels is individual.

With Maca Root

Three reasons maca is in so many people's cupboards

You don't want another coffee in the afternoon. You want the energy for your day and for the people around you.

⚡

Energy and stamina

At four in the afternoon your battery is in the red and the day isn't over. Maca is traditionally valued as food for strength and stamina.

Libido and vitality

Over the years, desire isn't always what it used to be. In the Andes, maca has traditionally been valued for libido and vitality for centuries.

For him and for her

Maca isn't just a "men's" herb. It's traditionally taken by both men and women, for vigour and inner balance.

One ingredient. A real amount.

With maca, what matters is where it comes from and how much is in the dose. Here's everything, no small print. Tap a card to see more.

4000 metres

The Peruvian Andes

Maca survives above 4000 metres, in cold and strong solar radiation. Harsh conditions where few plants thrive.

🪙

Currency of the Incas

valued for centuries

In ancient Peru maca was so prized that it was even used to trade. Food for strength and stamina.

"Peruvian ginseng"

a nickname from tradition

It's called that because of its reputation as a tonic. Botanically it's not related to true ginseng – the nickname comes from tradition.

Your routine over the next few weeks

We don't sell an overnight miracle. We sell a habit that works.

Maca is taken every day, in the morning, as a course of up to 12 weeks. Here's how the routine usually goes at 2 capsules a day; how it feels is individual.

Day 1–40 · The habit forms

2 capsules every morning after breakfast. The first pack is about making it a habit, not waiting for an effect after two days. This is where people most often give up too soon.

Day 41–120 · The whole 12-week course

240 capsules last 120 days: the full 12 weeks, the break and the start of the next course. Many people say that with regular use they feel more vigorous. That's why 2+1 is the most logical choice.

3 + 2 · 200 days of use

400 capsules last for two full 12-week courses with a break in between, at the lowest price per capsule.

After 12 weeks · Break

After 3 months, take a break of about 2 weeks, then the cycle can be repeated. That's what the directions on the pack say.

💡 Tip: keep the pack next to your coffee mug. That way the 2 morning capsules become a habit from day one.
