About this item BLACK MACA 1000 MG: The maca plant, known scientifically as Lepidium meyenii, is sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng. It mainly grows in the Andes of central Peru, in harsh conditions and at very high altitudes — above 13,000 feet (4,000 meters). Maca is a cruciferous vegetable and therefore related to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. It has a long history of culinary and remedy use in Peru. ANTI DEPRESSION SUPPLEMENTS: A 2015 study conducted by a group of researchers at Victoria University in Australia found that maca consumption decreased levels of depression in study participants (a group of 29 Chinese postmenopausal women). By the end of the study, the women taking maca also showed improved blood pressure compared to the placebo group.
