A TRUE ADAPTOGEN
In the 1930s, Russian scientists studying plant medicine coined the term adaptogen to refer to a plant that promoted non specific benefits to an organism while inducing NO negative side effects.
Maca is considered by top researchers to be a true adaptogen.
An adaptogen is a substance which raises the non-specific resistance in an organism.
Adaptogens enable the body to enhance its power of resistance and adapt to external conditions.
They work with the body's natural rhythms to help rebuild weak immune systems, re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies, and increase energy and endurance.
