Formula re: Contains: Historical use of Maca root by humans goes back thousands of years to the Andean highlands, where ancient Incans including their warriors thrived on its vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fiber. Maca grows at altitudes above 10,000 feet where little else survives. Maca root has been used as a stress-fighting adaptogen to increase stamina, boost libido and combat fatigue.
Formula re: Type: More recent scientific data suggests that "gelatinized" Maca may help to support healthy sexual activity and fertility for men.
Formula re: Contains: Gelatinization is an extrusion process that removes starch from maca thus concentrating the active ingredients. Most studies indicate a serving should provide a minimum of 3,000 – 3,500 mg to support Maca’s benefits. A teaspoon of Nature’s Lab 100% pure gelatinized Maca provides 5,000 mg of Maca.
