NinTi's Maca.Life Powder

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable native to the high, harsh climate of the Andes Mountains in Peru. For over 2000 years Maca Roots have been an important traditional food and medicinal herb to those in its growing region. NinTi's Maca.Life Powder is high in protein, dietary fiber, many important minerals, and amino acids (containing 19 different amino acids).

We offer gelatinized Maca Root Powder, which has been heat treated to remove the starch for easier digestion and is not considered raw. We only source our Maca Root and all our other high quality herbs from the best and most environmentally friendly growers worldwide. In this case, we only purchase true Peruvian Maca Root for NinTi's Maca.Life Powder.

Some experts believe Maca's libido lift is caused by its unique long chain fatty acids called macaenes and macamides, which have yet not been found in any other plant. They have been shown to increase sexual activity and correct erectile dysfunction in animals. And they are similar in structure to endocannabinoids, chemicals that stimulate hedonistic hotspots in our brain, triggering pleasure.

Maca is high in fibers, such as cellulose and lignins, which improve gut health. Fiber is also an effective tummy filler, which can reduce hunger between meals. Most maca powders also contain between 11% to 18% protein. Your body needs protein to build muscle, promote fat burning, and support the healthy function of all your cells. Nine amino acids are considered ‘essential’ to your health and the optimal function of your body. Maca contains 7 of them and many others that are non-essential.

According to the ‘protein leverage theory’, your body signals you eat until you eat enough protein. Once it registers it has enough, your brain switches off your hunger pains. As a high protein food and supplement, Maca.Life Powder can help you reach that protein sweet spot every day. And it’s not laden with sweeteners and flavorings, like many protein powders.

Maca contains calcium and phosphorous, both of these nutrients help strengthen bones.

How Much Maca?

To gently introduce your body to maca: 

• Start with a dose of 1 teaspoon and if you are tolerating that well, without side effects, increase the dose up to 2 tablespoon. If that proves too strong, lower the dose a little – up to 2 teaspoons a day.
• Take maca for 2 to 3 weeks – It can take that long before you see the full benefits. 
• Cycle on and off: That means you'll take maca every day for a few months and then take a break. This allows the cell receptors that detect maca to have a break too, so they don’t get too clever and try to shut down because you are getting maca so regularly.
