ATP Nutrition Maca Extract Forte 180 tob

Maca Extract 10:1 is a concentrated extract from the root of the Maca plant (Lepidium meyenii). This ratio means that 10 kg of raw Maca was used to produce 1 kg of extract. Maca has traditionally been used for its health benefits and is popular as a dietary supplement.

Maca extract contains various bioactive compounds:

• Polyphenols
• Alkaloids
• Sterols
• Amino acids
• Vitamins and minerals

Thanks to these compounds, maca offers a wide range of benefits, particularly as an adaptogen, which means it can help the body better adapt to stress and support overall vitality.

3. Regulation of hormonal balance: It helps balance hormones in the body, which can be beneficial for both men and women with hormonal imbalances.

4. Supporting fertility: Some studies suggest that maca may improve fertility in men by increasing sperm count and motility.
