Organic Red Maca - 3000 mg per daily dose - plus Vitamin C from Organic Acerola - 180 capsules - from Unimedica
The maca plant is native to the high Andes of Peru. Red maca is a variety of the maca plant (Lepidium meyenii). The indigenous people are still aware of the beneficial effects of the maca plant: at high altitudes people quickly feel low on energy, which is why the root has traditionally been regarded as an energy tonic. The nutritional value of dried maca tubers is exceptionally high, comparable to that of maize, rice and wheat. They contain 59% carbohydrates, 10.2% protein, 8.5% fibre and 2.2% lipids.

Produktinformationen
The power food of the Incas
Maca root has a high concentration of nutrients. The nutrient concentration varies according to where it grows, resulting in yellow, red, lilac or black bulbous roots. It was used by the Incas as a power food for their warriors to ensure rapid recovery after battles.
Red maca is used for the organic Red Maca capsules from Unimedica, grown in organic conditions, gently dried and ground. The natural vitamin C supplement in the form of organic acerola supports the immune system, cell protection and other key body functions in these organic Red Maca capsules from Unimedica.
The capsules are highly concentrated with 3000 mg organic maca.

Maca or "Peruvian ginseng" – a survival artist
The maca plant originates in the high Andes of Peru. Nowadays it is also cultivated, including in China.
Its survival power and resistance – in the bleak mineral volcanic soils of the Andes under severe weather conditions – is concentrated in the long bulbous root (hypocotyl). This is where it stores the nutrients that ensure its survival in the adverse conditions at a height of 4000 metres.
Each bottle of organic Red Maca capsules from Unimedica contains 180 capsules. This is enough for a month and a half.
Vegan and without the following additives
Organic Red Maca capsules from Unimedica are, according to legal requirements, free of colouring, stabilisers, preservatives and separating agents such as magnesium stearate; they are also GMO-free as well as lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan.
