Maca is an extract from the root of the yellow variety of Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii), produced using an extraction ratio of 10:1. One serving contains 1800 mg of extract, equivalent to approximately 18 g of Peruvian maca root. This plant is known for its resilience and ability to grow even in harsh conditions. This gives it unique effects on vitality, energy and intimate life. We produce it in our own manufacturing facilities and test it in accredited laboratories for heavy metals and microbiological safety.
Maca by Gymbeam contains an extract from the root of Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii) with an extraction ratio of 10:1. This concentrated extract provides the equivalent of 6 g of root in each capsule. One serving (3 capsules) provides 1800 mg of extract, equivalent to 18 g of Peruvian maca root. This plant is also known as Peruvian maca, mountain maca, Andean ginseng or Peruvian ginseng. It is made using the yellow maca variety, which is the most widely used worldwide.¹
This plant is known for its ability to grow and thrive at high altitudes (more than 4000 m above sea level), such as in the Andes. These extreme high-altitude conditions drive it to develop a rich supply of beneficial plant nutrients and biologically active compounds. Among the most significant are specific macamides and macaenes, which occur naturally only in this plant.²
Why add maca to your routine?
Maca is classified as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are being scientifically studied in relation to natural support for the body and its resilience to external influences. Thanks to its composition, maca is popular among athletes, students and managers looking to support their overall vitality. This plant also plays an important role in intimate wellbeing. Its root extract is a traditionally recognised aphrodisiac used to support sexual performance, energy and healthy sexual function. Maca is also associated with supporting fertility, sexual libido and the male reproductive system.¹, ²
A twelve-week study showed that regularly taking 3000 mg of maca extract daily led to 90 % of participants feeling more physically energetic and 80 % experiencing a significant improvement in mood. Half of the participants also reported a positive effect on sexual desire.³
Maca during perimenopause
In a clinical study lasting 4 months, researchers also examined the effects of taking 2000 mg of maca in capsules on symptoms in perimenopausal women. Between 74 and 87 percent of the women reported relief from unpleasant symptoms, depending on the symptom assessed. Participants mainly reported a reduction in hot flushes, night sweats and nervousness, as well as better sleep quality. The study thus suggests that maca is a promising plant-based supplement for naturally supporting overall well-being and balance in the body during this challenging period.⁴
- The extract is standardised at a ratio of 10:1, with 18 g of the original raw material used per maximum daily serving.
- The product undergoes testing in accredited German laboratories, which verify its microbiological safety and compliance with limits for heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead).
- The product is made in the EU.
- The capsule form avoids maca's distinctive earthy taste, which may not appeal to everyone, and allows precise dosing at any time of day.
- The product is free from GMOs, gluten and lactose.
Who is maca suitable for?
1. Athletes, students and managers
who want to support overall vitality during demanding days.
2. Anyone who dislikes the taste of maca powder
and prefers a capsule format.
3. Men and women
who want to help maintain sexual performance, fertility, energy and libido.
4. Women during perimenopause and menopause.
5. Men looking to maintain a healthy reproductive system.
6. Anyone interested in traditional plant-based aphrodisiacs.

For me, a more suitable form is capsules rather than loose powder; otherwise, it is completely the same. The effect of reducing stress and coping better works on a natural basis, of course along with a healthy diet and other supplements.

I have been taking it for 1 week. I feel an additional sedative effect. I can even fall asleep while sitting during the day. Since I started taking it (1 week ago), I feel a significant change. During the day, I no longer experience signs of fatigue. Because I have only been taking it for a short time, I am curious about its longer-term effects.Translated by Google Was this review helpful to you?Kačka

Hello! I thought I would write a few lines about Maca. I would recommend it to anyone whose life is more tiring or more stressful. After 3 weeks, I decided to stop because it doesn’t make me tired at all; in fact, I can’t even sleep—although in most cases I take it in the morning or before my workout. I always took the latter in the evening. So, in my case, it was effective—too effective :) So I will continue taking Ashwagandha, 1 tablet per day!Translated by Google Was this review helpful to you?Pompiliu
