Maca

Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walpers), a plant native to the high Andes of Peru, has gained significant attention as a functional food due to its potential health benefits. Traditionally consumed for its energy-boosting and fertility-enhancing properties, maca is now widely recognized for its broad range of bioactivities, including its positive effects on reproductive health, energy levels, antioxidant defense, and neuroprotection. The root, in particular, is packed with valuable nutrients such as starch, dietary fiber, and protein, while also containing a range of bioactive compounds like macaenes, macamides, glucosinolates, and alkaloids. These constituents contribute to maca’s various therapeutic properties, making it a versatile ingredient in both food and health supplement markets.
Despite its growing popularity, much of the evidence supporting maca’s health benefits is based on traditional knowledge and preliminary scientific studies. Nevertheless, maca continues to be a highly sought-after ingredient due to its perceived benefits and its potential for innovation in food, health, and cosmetic products[1].
