My daughter is in love with Andes Aphrodisiac, Maca. This root has been grown in Peruvian Andes of South America for 2,600 years. Maca is an adaptogen, "it has the ability to balance and stabilize the body's glandular-hormonal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and musculature." (Superfoods, David Wolfe). My daughter, Sam, loves cross country, but had a difficult time improving her running time in the past. Before she starts her practice, she makes delicious fruity smoothie and adds 1 or 2 scoops of maca into her drink. She noticed immediate difference in her running performance. She was able to improve her running time and endurance level. When I make granola, I add 1 or 2 scoops of maca as well.
Dried maca contains 59% carbohydrates, 8.5% fiber, and 10% protein (Superfoods, David Wolfe). Maca protein contains 20 amino acids and 7 essential amino acids. It is also rich source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, sodium, iron, and vitamin B1, B2, C and E.
