About this item

• Maca, also known as Lepidium meyenii, is a cruciferous vegetable, meaning it is a part of the cabbage family. In fact, maca contains many of the same isothiocyanate compounds found in famous cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli. Most importantly though, Maca contains a series of N-alkylamide compounds called the macamides, which is where most of the maca benefits come from.
• Our maca extract is standardized to an enormous amount of macamides at 5%! This is much higher than most maca extracts on the market which often do not contain more than 0.6% macamides.
• The macamides quite closely resemble endocannabinoids, and due to this, they also have some fairly pronounced endocannabinoid effects. For example, the macamides can block an enzyme called fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) which breaks down endocannabinoids such as anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and even palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). This means that when we inhibit FAAH, the levels of anandamide, 2-AG and PEA can increase, which increases overall endocannabinoid activity.
