Maca powder of the highest quality: Organic Maca 1500 capsule

Maca is also known as "Peruvian ginseng". The nutrient-rich, tuberous roots of the maca plant served as a staple food of indigenous peoples of the Andes to increase energy and endurance, particularly in the high altitudes, 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. 

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

Dietary supplement with maca powder

To fully harness the advantages of the maca root, it is processed into highly concentrated powder or 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 of Organic Maca 1500 from Vitality Nutritionals contains 500 mg maca powder of the highest possible organic quality. 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.* 

Bio Maca 1500 capsules contain a low dose of Bioperine®, as well as maca powder, which is less concentrated than maca extract. These capsules are therefore ideal for introducing maca as a dietary supplement. In comparison, Maca Royal 5000 capsules contain a highly concentrated maca extract and the active ingredient Bioperine® in a higher dosage: A good choice if you are already familiar with maca supplements.   

Wide range of benefits of Organic Maca 1500 capsules 

There are several maca 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 

Scientific studies have not yet conclusively determined how exactly maca enhances performance. However, there is some evidence that suggests that maca has an effect on overall energy levels in humans. [1] [2] 

Maca supports male potency and enhances sperm quality

Some studies suggest that maca may improve the overall sperm quality in men and improve blood flow, which is important for achieving and maintaining an erection. [3] [4] 

Maca enhances libido and supports sexual function in women

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

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

According to one study, the essential minerals found in maca, such as calcium and phosphorus, may help with 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 Organic Maca 1500 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.
