16,500 mg Maca Root · Lepidium meyenii · Alcohol-Free · Ultrasonic Extraction · 45-Day Guarantee
Maca, botanically known as Lepidium meyenii, is a plant traditionally cultivated high in the Peruvian Andes, where it has been valued for generations as both a food and botanical.
It also happens to have acquired a rather cheeky reputation over the years. We'll leave the wilder promises to the internet — it has considerably fewer advertising regulations than we do. 😉
Our Maca Root Tincture is an alcohol-free liquid extract prepared using vegetable glycerine and purified water, providing a convenient alternative to conventional alcohol-based tinctures.
Each 50 ml bottle is prepared using 16,500 mg of Maca Root, giving you a clearly stated botanical quantity without confusing ratios or mysterious strength descriptions.
Prepared in the UK using ultrasonic extraction technology to assist the extraction of naturally occurring constituents from the botanical material.
Let's just say Maca isn't famous because people thought the root looked particularly attractive.
Across generations of traditional use, Maca developed an association with vitality, stamina and matters of a slightly more romantic nature.
🌱 Maca by day. Maybe don't make plans for an early night. 😏
We're obviously not promising that one dropper will turn date night into something requiring an apology to the neighbours.
But Maca's centuries-old reputation does make it one of the more entertaining botanicals to have sitting innocently beside the herbal tea. 🔥🌿
We use ultrasonic extraction rather than relying solely on conventional soaking and maceration.
Ultrasound introduces high-frequency sound energy into the extraction liquid, producing microscopic cavitation and agitation around the Maca Root material.
This can help disrupt plant structures, improve contact between the extraction liquid and botanical material, and encourage naturally occurring constituents to move from the root into the liquid more efficiently.
Scientific research comparing ultrasonic-assisted extraction with conventional extraction methods has demonstrated significantly improved recovery of plant constituents under certain extraction conditions.
Some research has reported extraction yields approaching 5 times higher for particular plant compounds when ultrasonic extraction was compared with conventional extraction.
The exact improvement varies depending on the botanical, compound being extracted, solvent, temperature, ultrasonic power and extraction conditions. It does not mean every ultrasonic extract is automatically five times stronger.
Each 50 ml bottle is prepared using 16,500 mg of Maca Root, giving you a clearly stated botanical quantity.
Uses high-frequency sound energy to assist extraction from the root material rather than relying solely on lengthy conventional soaking.
Made using vegetable glycerine and purified water rather than alcohol. Because date night doesn't necessarily need to begin with a shot. 😉
Maca has been traditionally cultivated in the high Andes of Peru, giving this little root a botanical history considerably larger than its appearance suggests.
Prepared and bottled in the UK with manufacturing information clearly provided on the product packaging.
Supplied in a practical 50 ml liquid format that's straightforward to measure using the dropper provided.
Lepidium meyenii is a member of the Brassicaceae family, making it botanically related to plants such as broccoli, cabbage and mustard.
Maca grows in the challenging conditions of the high Andes and develops a fleshy underground storage organ that is the part traditionally consumed.
Not quite as seductive as the reputation suggests when you describe it botanically — but we'll let Maca keep some of its mystery. 😏
