Maca (Lepidium meyenii): An Inca super food that can energize and invigorate you.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has been cultivated in the high reaches of the Andes Mountains for at least 2000 years. It holds a cultural significance to the people of the Andes, not only historically as food of wealthy Incas, but also today, as a valuable nutritional resource. Due to little else growing so high up in the mountains, it is used to trade with the low lands for other essentials to their lives, such as rice and green vegetables.
As mentioned, maca is highly nutritional. It contains high amounts of protein, starch, natural sugars, fiber, vitamins, as well as iodine and iron. With so little else growing in the region, it is a vital life line for the native people of the area.

Other than being highly nutritional, maca also contains p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, a chemical associated with aphrodisiac like qualities.

Not that great
Tried some Maca in tea for a few days.
First day it actually made me feel a little weird and eventually had the opposite effect to my energy levels.
After a few days of seeing if it would have any benefits, I had to stop due to the taste being absolutely rank.
Nothing against Zamnesia as they did a fine job in a tough time. Its just this product didn't do much for me.
