Spirulina and Maca

Why combine spirulina with maca?

Spirulina combined with maca enhances the latter's effects by limiting the potential side effects induced by high-dose maca consumption. Combining these two products provides you with all the vitamins and numerous minerals you need. In addition, maca optimizes the action of spirulina.

What is maca?

Maca, also known as Lepidium meyenii, is a plant that traditionally grows in the Andes Mountains of Peru at altitudes of over 4,000 m. The plant takes 7 to 8 months to grow. It is during this phase that it captures the nutrients and minerals responsible for its benefits. Harvesting and drying using ancestral techniques results in a high-quality product.

The benefits of combining spirulina and maca

Thanks to its complex nutritional composition, maca has many benefits that have been recognized for over 5,000 years [1]. The iron contained in this Peruvian ginseng allows it to contribute to:

  • To reduce fatigue
  • Has a normal energy metabolism
  • Has normal cognitive function.

Combined with the benefits of spirulina, maca therefore provides an overall energy boost.

Spirulina combined with maca root, for whom?

The spirulina and maca synergy is recommended for anyone seeking vitality or wanting to increase their performance.

In the event of high blood pressure or metabolic problems, it is important to seek advice from your doctor.

The composition of the spirulina and maca combination

Maca draws its benefits from its particularly interesting composition of vitamins and minerals. It contains, among others, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, D3 and E as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. It also contains between 10 and 15% protein containing 19 of the 20 existing amino acids.

Spirulina combined with maca contains all the vitamins and many minerals. Thus, the synergy of these two products, alongside the adaptogenic action of maca, contributes to its action.
