About Us

North Americans now place greater emphasis on preventative measures as they become more inclined to take control of their own health.

Through better access to information we are also becoming more comfortable with evaluating our own conditions and seeking appropriate remedies for specific ailments.

As a consumer I found the natural and herbal remedies that I purchased in stores to be too expensive for many people to comfortably afford so I set out to make them more affordable.

As the owner of Maca Vitality Natural Health Products I spent months searching for the highest quality Maca at the lowest prices I could find in order to pass the savings on to you. Also, our store is an online store which significantly reduces overhead costs. This allows us to sell fresh, quality products at wholesale prices directly to you, the consumer.

WHAT EXACTLY IS MACA ROOT?

Maca Root – Lepidium meyenii – is a mat-like perennial that grows between 13,000 and 14,500 feet above sea level in the high Andean plateaus of Peru. Maca’s tuberous roots resemble those of its relative the radish. To Andean Indians, Maca Root is a highly valuable commodity. The sweet, spicy dried Maca Root is considered a delicacy. Rich in nutritional content, Maca contains potassium, higher levels of calcium than in milk, magnesium, phosphorous and iron, contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica, as well as B vitamins. It also contains four alkaloids proven in scientific investigation to nourish the endocrine glands, including the reproductive system of men and women. Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists have recommended Maca for:

Stimulating and regulating the endocrine system
Regulating and normalizing menstrual cycles
Stimulating fertility in both men and women
Supporting the immune system
Increasing energy, stamina and endurance, reducing chronic fatigue
Enhancing libido, treating impotence
Revitalizing seniors, mentally and physically

Scientific studies are gradually confirming the effects attributed to this prodigious plant since the time of the Incas. Maca Root is considered one of the plants with the highest international development potential. Because of its multiple effects, it has an ample application field from improving athletes’ performance to fighting against infertility. The effects demonstrated on fertility and sexual activity could be due to an action in the pituitary gland, in charge of sexual maturation. Likewise, Maca could activate the calcitonin hormone that regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, secreted by the thyroid gland and the Para hormone of the parathyroid gland. Alkaloids in Maca could act as stimulants in the formation of red globules in human and animal reproduction.
