Maca extract of the highest quality: Maca Royal 5000 capsules

Maca is also known as "Peruvian ginseng". The indigenous peoples of South America already used the plant many centuries ago. The nutrient-rich, tuberous roots of the maca plant served as a staple food to increase energy and endurance, particularly in the high altitudes of the Andes, which are challenging for the body. Maca was also considered an aphrodisiac and was consumed by both men and women to support reproductive functions and fertility. 

Today, maca is considered a "superfood" due to its rich nutritional content and is used as a healthy alternative to foods containing caffeine: Scientists have yet to determine exactly how maca increases performance. However, there are already multiple studies that suggest that maca has an effect on overall energy levels in humans*. 

Dietary supplement with maca extract

To fully harness the advantages of the maca root, it is processed into highly concentrated maca powder or maca extract. After it is encapsulated, the resulting food supplement has a significantly higher concentration of nutrients and enhanced effectiveness than the original product. 

1 capsule Vitality Nutritionals Maca Royal 5000 contains 500 mg of premium quality Maca extract. A natural booster has been added to facilitate quicker and more efficient absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream through the digestive system: With its piperine content, the patented Bioperine® black pepper extract ensures an up to 20-fold increase in bioavailability.* 

Wide range of benefits of Maca Royal 5000 capsules 

Not all maca is the same: There are several varieties with different phytochemical profiles. As the most obvious distinguishing feature is the root color, they are often referred to as yellow, red, purple or black maca (root). The yellow maca root is the most widely used. It is also particularly associated with supporting energy and endurance*.  

*The health claims in relation to maca (and black pepper) have not yet been conclusively evaluated. However, due to the number of studies, the efficacy described here can be sufficiently substantiated. 

Maca contributes to physical and mental performance

It is believed that maca may boost overall energy levels and improve overall vitality. Although scientific studies have not yet conclusively determined how exactly maca enhances performance, there is some evidence that suggests that maca has an impact on general energy levels in humans. [1] [2] 

Maca supports male potency and enhances sperm quality

Some studies suggest that taking maca may improve sperm count, motility and overall sperm quality in men. Maca is also believed to improve blood circulation, which is crucial for achieving and maintaining an erection. [3] [4] 

Maca enhances libido and supports sexual function in women

Studies suggest that maca may increase libido and sexual desire in women (and men) and reduce the level of sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. [5] [6] 

Maca contributes to bone strength and bone health in post-menopausal women

A 2006 study conducted on postmenopausal women suggests that the essential minerals found in maca, such as calcium and phosphorus, may help in maintaining bone density. [7] 

Piperine, active ingredient booster 

Black pepper has been used in human food since ancient times and is one of the most widely used spices in the world. BioPerine® is a patented piperine extract obtained from black pepper that contains at least 95% piperine in a form that is easily absorbed by the body.  

Piperine is added to many dietary supplements to increase their bioavailability. It has been used for over 20 years as a means of improving bioavailability and has been found to increase the absorption of nutrients by more than 30%. 

The concept of "bioavailability boosters" comes from the traditional ancient system of Ayurveda. The extent to which piperine may improve the absorption of vital substances – some studies speak of a 20-fold increase – is still being discussed by scientists.

Do Maca Royal 5000 capsules have side effects? 

In dietary supplements, maca is frequently paired with black pepper to enhance the bioavailability of the compounds present in the maca root thanks to the piperine presence in the pepper. The Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, BfR) recommends that adults should not consume more than 2 mg of isolated piperine per day via dietary supplements and that pregnant women should refrain from using such products.
