What It Actually Is
Maca is a root vegetable native to the Andes mountains of Peru, traditionally used for its adaptogenic and energy-supporting properties.
What Research Generally Shows
Some studies suggest maca may support libido and energy, though research on male sexual function specifically shows mixed results across trials.
On The Dose
Maca root studies often use gram-scale doses (1.5-3g daily) — well above what an 82mg total blend split nine ways could provide.
