Maca is a root extract from the yellow variety of Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii), produced using an extraction ratio of 10:1. One serving contains 1800 mg of extract, which is equivalent to approximately 18 g of Peruvian maca root. This plant is known for its resilience and ability to grow even in harsh conditions. This gives it unique effects on vitality, energy and intimate life. We produce it in our own manufacturing facilities and test it in accredited laboratories for heavy metals and microbiological safety.
Maca by Gymbeam contains a root extract of Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii) with an extraction ratio of 10:1. This concentrated extract delivers the equivalent of 6 g of root in each capsule. One serving (3 capsules) provides 1800 mg of extract, equivalent to 18 g of Peruvian maca root. This plant is also known as Peruvian maca, mountain maca, Andean ginseng or Peruvian ginseng. It is made using the yellow maca variety, the most widely used variety worldwide.¹
This plant is known for its ability to grow and thrive in high-altitude regions (more than 4000 m above sea level), such as the Andes. These extreme high-altitude conditions drive it to develop a rich supply of beneficial plant nutrients and biologically active compounds. Among the most significant are specific macamides and macaenes, which occur naturally only in this plant.²
Why include maca in your routine?
Maca is classified as one of the so-called adaptogens. These are being studied for their role in naturally supporting the body and its resilience to external influences. Thanks to its composition, maca is sought after by athletes, students and managers to support overall vitality. This plant also plays an important role in intimate wellbeing. Its root extract is among the traditionally recognised aphrodisiacs and is used to support sexual performance, energy and healthy sexual function. Maca is also associated with supporting fertility, libido and the male reproductive system.¹, ²
A twelve-week study showed that regular daily intake of 3000 mg of maca extract led 90 % of participants to experience an increase in perceived physical energy and 80 % to report a significant improvement in mood. Half of the participants also reported a positive effect on sexual desire.³
Maca during perimenopause
In a clinical study lasting 4 months, researchers also examined the effects of taking 2000 mg of maca in capsules on symptoms in perimenopausal women. Relief from unpleasant symptoms was reported by 74 to 87 percent of the women taking part, depending on the symptom being assessed. Participants mainly reported a reduction in hot flushes, night sweats and nervousness, as well as better sleep quality. The study therefore suggests that maca is a promising plant-based supplement for naturally supporting overall well-being and balance in the body during this challenging period.⁴
- The extract is standardised at a ratio of 10:1, with each maximum daily dose made from 18 g of the original raw material.
- The product undergoes testing in accredited German laboratories, which verify its microbiological safety and compliance with heavy metal limits (mercury, cadmium, lead).
- The product is made in the EU.
- The capsule form avoids maca's distinctive earthy taste, which may not suit everyone, and allows precise dosing at any time of day.
- The product is free from GMOs, gluten and lactose.
Who is maca suitable for?
1. Athletes, students and managers
who want to support overall vitality during demanding days.
2. Anyone who dislikes the taste of maca powder
and prefers capsules.
3. Men and women
who want to help maintain sexual performance, fertility, energy and libido.
4. Women during perimenopause and menopause.
5. Men looking to maintain a healthy reproductive system.
6. Anyone interested in traditional plant-based aphrodisiacs.
