What It Actually Is
Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes, traditionally consumed for energy, stamina, and fertility support.
What Research Generally Shows
Maca has a reasonable modern research base, with some studies suggesting a supportive role in libido and energy, though results vary and study quality is mixed.
On The Dose
100mg is a moderate amount for maca root extract; some studies use higher amounts of raw maca powder (1.5-3g), though concentrated extracts are typically dosed lower.
