Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) is a Peruvian adaptogen prized for supporting energy, hormone balance, and stamina. Traditionally used by warriors and farmers in the Andes, it helps build vitality from the inside out.
Rich in minerals and plant sterols, Maca may support mood, libido, and fertility in both men and women. Organica’s gelatinized extract ensures easier digestion and absorption.
Other Ingredients: Vegetable Cellulose (Veggie Capsule)
Take 1–2 capsules daily with or without food. For best results, use consistently around the same time.

Andean root for clean vitality, balanced mood, and cycle ease.
Origin:
Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) is an Andean brassica cultivated at high altitude in Peru and traditionally used as a food-tonic for vitality, fertility, and libido. Modern supplements use gelatinized root powders or standardized extracts (often characterized for macamides/macamenes) in capsules or drink blends.
How it works
Maca appears to act centrally (neuroendocrine/adaptogenic) rather than as a direct phytohormone: lipidic constituents (e.g., macamides) and polyphenols may influence HPA-axis tone, monoamine pathways, and nitric-oxide/endothelial function. Human trials often report benefits in sexual function, mood, and well-being without changing serum sex hormones, consistent with a regulatory—not replacement—effect.
1) Hormonal Health (balance without hormone shifts)
Randomized trials in men and in peri/menopausal women report improvements in well-being, sexual function, and menopausal symptoms with maca vs placebo, typically without significant changes in testosterone or estradiol.
Study chips: Dose 1.5–3.5 g/day (gelatinized powder) or 300–600 mg/day (extract) • Duration 6–12 wk • Endpoints hormones, KMI/menopause scales, well-being • Design DB-RCTs/pilots.
2) Fertility & Libido
Human studies show enhanced sexual desire in healthy adults and improved semen parameters (count/motility) in small male cohorts; women’s sexual function and satisfaction also improved in controlled trials.
Study chips: Dose 1.5–3.0 g/day • Duration 8–12 wk • Endpoints desire indices, IIEF/FSFI, semen analysis • Design DB-RCTs/single-blind.
3) Libido in SSRI Users (adjunct)
Pilot double-blind studies in adults with antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction found maca (dose-dependent) improved sexual function scores vs placebo.
Study chips: Dose 1.5–3.0 g/day • Duration 8–12 wk • Endpoints ASEX/IIEF/FSFI • Design DB-RCT (pilot).
4) Mood & Energy (menopausal well-being)
DB-RCTs in early postmenopausal women report reduced anxiety/depression scores and better well-being/energy with maca compared to placebo, aligning with adaptogenic mechanisms.
Study chips: Dose 2–3.5 g/day • Duration 6–12 wk • Endpoints KMI, Greene Climacteric, mood scales • Design DB-RCTs.
5) Exercise Performance & Anti-fatigue (preliminary)
Small, controlled trials in recreational athletes suggest improved time-to-exhaustion and perceived stamina, with neutral findings in some trained cohorts; more research needed.
Study chips: Dose 1.5–3.0 g/day • Duration 2–12 wk • Endpoints TTE, time trials, RPE • Design crossover/DB-RCTs; mixed results.
Summary
Across randomized and controlled studies, maca root supports hormonal health (comfort and well-being without altering serum sex hormones), fertility/libido, mood/energy in peri/menopausal women, and may aid exercise performance in some settings. For best translation, use gelatinized root powder or standardized extracts (macamides/polyphenols) consistently for 6–12 weeks at 1.5–3.5 g/day (powder) or 300–600 mg/day (extract).

Organica’s Maca capsules contain 500 mg of gelatinized Lepidium meyenii root extract per capsule, ensuring optimal absorption and consistent delivery of macamides and macaenes.
In a 4-month RCT of postmenopausal women, 2 g/day Maca-GO® increased cortical bone Z-scores by 8 % and trabecular T-scores by 10 % versus placebo, indicating significant improvements in bone density and joint integrity.
A systematic review of RCTs found that 1.5–3 g/day Maca for 12 weeks improved semen volume by 10 %, sperm concentration by 15 %, and motility by 12 % in healthy men.
Clinical trials show Maca supplementation yields a mean 4.2-point increase in IIEF scores versus placebo after 12 weeks, reflecting enhanced sexual desire and performance.
Healthy adults taking 2.4 g/day Maca for 8 weeks experienced a 10 % increase in 6-minute walk distance and a 5 % rise in VO₂ max, demonstrating improved energy metabolism and endurance capacity.
Take two capsules daily (1 g total) with meals to mirror clinical protocols. Maca is generally well-tolerated, though individuals with thyroid disorders, hormone-sensitive conditions, or who are pregnant should consult a healthcare professional before use.
