Why combine spirulina with maca?
Combining spirulina with maca enhances the effects of maca while limiting the possible side effects of taking maca in high doses. Together, these two products provide you with all the vitamins and a great many minerals. What’s more, maca optimises the action of spirulina.
What is maca?
Maca, also known as Lepidium meyenii, is a plant traditionally grown in the Andes in Peru, at altitudes above 4000 m. The plant takes 7 to 8 months to grow, and it is during this period that it takes up the nutrients and minerals responsible for its benefits. Harvesting and drying it 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 recognised for more than 5000 years [1]. The iron contained in this “Peruvian ginseng” contributes to:
- the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- normal energy-yielding metabolism
- normal cognitive function.
Combined with the benefits of spirulina, maca therefore gives you an all-round energy boost.
Spirulina with maca root: who is it for?
The spirulina and maca combination is recommended for anyone looking for vitality or wanting to boost their performance.
If you have high blood pressure or a metabolic condition, it is important to ask your GP for advice.
The composition of the spirulina and maca combination
Maca owes its benefits to its particularly valuable vitamin and mineral content. Among other things, it contains vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, D3 and E, as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. It also contains 10 to 15% protein, providing 19 of the 20 existing amino acids.
Spirulina combined with maca contains all the vitamins and many minerals. The synergy between these two products therefore adds to the adaptogenic action of maca.
