ATP Nutrition Maca Extract Forte 180 tob

Maca extract 10:1 is a concentrated extract of the root of the Maca plant (Lepidium meyenii). This extract means that 10 kg of raw poppy seeds were used to produce 1 kg of extract. Maca is traditionally used for its benefits and is popular as a dietary supplement.

Maca extract contains various bioactive substances:

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

Thanks to these substances, maca has a wide range of benefits, especially as an adaptogen, which means it can help the body adapt better to stress and promote overall vitality.

1. Increase energy and stamina: Maca is often used to increase energy and physical stamina. Studies show that it helps improve physical performance and reduce fatigue.
