It wasn't long before we discovered that maca was incredibly difficult and rare to find. It is believed that at that time there was only enough maca in Peru to feed several small villages. To ancient Peruvians, maca root was a valuable commodity. For nearly two centuries, maca was commonly traded for gold and exported for the kings of Spain. In the late 20th century, the maca was forgotten, endangered, hidden away at altitudes of 14,000 feet. With the help of the Peruvian government, we located universities and seed germplasm collections throughout Peru. With USDA permission, we were the first to export maca plants and seeds to botanical gardens, universities, and researchers in North America and around the world. Since then, researchers have verified the stories told by the Inca civilization for centuries. Maca works because it's full of natural precursors, amino acids, minerals and the newly discovered macamids and macaenes not found in other plants. Research data has finally revealed the amazing properties of this once forgotten crop.Today, we are a direct supplier of maca products, recognized as the freshest and purest root in the industry.Traditional Ethnobotanical Information Maca has been around for 1,500 years in Inca and early Peruvian cultures.
