Maca, otherwise known as Peruvian ginseng, is a cruciferous vegetable which is often referred to as a ‘superfood’ due to its impressive nutritional profile. Not only is maca high in fibre and low in fat, but it also provides vitamins B1, B2 & B6 and the minerals calcium, iron and zinc.
B vitamins help the body create energy from food and are known to reduce symptoms of tiredness and fatigue. Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth, whilst iron has a fundamental role in a healthy immune system. Zinc is a nutrient which many of us in the UK do not get a sufficient amount of, but has crucial roles in cognitive function, immune function and fertility.
Naturya Organic Maca Powder has a naturally nutty flavour and is perfect to add to smoothies, breakfasts and baked goods to boost their nutrient density and nourish your body. The product also benefits from being 100% organic, gluten free and suitable for vegans.
