Lepidium Meyenii Red Maca from Peru

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) grows at high altitude in the Peruvian Andes, where the climate is harsh and few other crops can survive. The red variety has been valued there for a long time, particularly by women who use the root for hormonal support during different life stages. This extract from comes from the Junín province and is made using traditional farming methods that preserve Peruvian agricultural heritage.

What makes this extract special is its concentration. One liter contains the essence of about one kilogram of dried maca root, so you get a concentrated dose of active compounds with just a small amount. The extract consists of red maca, water, and 20% alcohol. The alcohol not only aids extraction but also keeps the product shelf-stable without additives.

Red Maca contains glucosinolates, polyphenols, and flavonoids - compounds that research has linked to various health aspects. It also contains vitamins and minerals. It's mainly used for hormonal balance in women, bone support, and mood stabilization. Some users report that it helps them with energy levels and overall well-being.

Key features: Full spectrum extract of red maca root from Peru. Made with ultrasound technology at low temperatures to preserve bioactive compounds. 1 liter = approximately 1 kg dried root. Contains 20% alcohol.

What can Red Maca help with?

★ Hormonal balance

Red Maca is often used by women seeking support during menopause or with hormonal fluctuations. It may help regulate hormones naturally, though effects vary from person to person.

★ Bones and mood

The compounds in red maca can contribute to bone strength, which is especially relevant for women after menopause. It's also used for mood support - users sometimes experience that it helps with nervousness or restlessness, though this hasn't been scientifically proven.

★ Antioxidants and skin

Thanks to its antioxidants, Red Maca can help counter oxidative stress in the body. Some people notice their skin looks better, which may be connected to the hormonal balance it supports.

How is this extract made?

We ultrasound technology for extraction, keeping temperatures below 38 degrees Celsius (100°F). This protects the sensitive bioactive compounds in the root. The extract is then concentrated at room temperature, so the natural composition stays intact. It's a full spectrum extract, meaning all the plant's active components are present in their natural ratio.

How to use

You can add the extract to smoothies, hot tea, milk (dairy or plant-based), or plain water. Start with a small amount to see how your body responds - 1 to 2 ml per day is often recommended, but you can adjust to your own needs. The taste is pleasant and slightly bitter, which pairs well with sweet drinks or fruit smoothies. Since it's a highly concentrated extract, you don't need large amounts.

What is the difference between red maca and black maca extract?

Red maca and black maca come from the same plant (Lepidium meyenii) but differ in colour, rarity and traditional use. Red maca is primarily associated with women's wellness, hormonal balance and bone strength. Black maca is traditionally used more for male vitality, endurance and cognitive function. The difference lies in the specific ratios of bioactive compounds such as glucosinolates and polyphenols, which vary between colour varieties.

Why is red maca specifically recommended for women?

Red maca contains a specific profile of glucosinolates and polyphenols that research has linked to hormonal support in women. It is traditionally used especially during menopause and with hormonal fluctuations. Studies suggest that red maca can contribute to bone strength, which is relevant post-menopause. It is important to note that effects vary per person and it is not a replacement for medical advice.

How is red maca extract made using ultrasound technology?

Ultrasound extraction uses sound waves to open the cell walls of the maca root, releasing the active compounds. The remarkable aspect is that this process takes place at temperatures below 38°C (100°F), preventing heat damage to sensitive bioactive substances. After extraction, the liquid is evaporated at room temperature. The result is a full spectrum extract in which all components are present in their natural ratio.

How do you incorporate red maca extract into your daily routine?

Start with 1 to 2 ml per day, preferably in the morning. The extract mixes well into smoothies, hot tea, plant-based milk or plain water. The taste is mildly bitter but pleasant, and pairs excellently with fruit or honey. Since it is highly concentrated, one litre equals one kilogram of dried root, you only need a small amount. After a few weeks you can adjust the dosage based on your experience. Also read our blog about natural vitality boosters for more inspiration.
