Organic black maca from the high Andes
Maca, or Lepidium meyenii, is a root traditionally cultivated at high altitudes in the Andes, where few crops can adapt to the cold climate and difficult soil conditions.
Dragon Superfoods Organic Black Maca Powder contains only organically grown maca root, dried and finely ground. No flavours, sweeteners, fillers or other ingredients are added.
Traditionally associated with vitality and endurance
Maca has been used for centuries as both a food and a valued part of Andean tradition. It is commonly associated with vitality, physical endurance and support during demanding or active periods.
Its naturally concentrated flavour makes it a popular addition to pre-workout smoothies, breakfast bowls and drinks. Maca should be treated as a food ingredient, not as a substitute for sleep, a varied diet or medical treatment.
Maca, libido and reproductive wellbeing
Maca is widely known for its traditional use in supporting libido, reproductive wellbeing and hormonal balance in both women and men.
It is often included in daily routines during periods of low energy, stress, premenstrual discomfort or menopause. Maca does not contain hormones, but it is traditionally used to support the body during hormonal changes.

Frequently asked questions
What is black maca powder?
Black maca powder is made by drying and finely grinding black maca root. Black maca is one of the naturally occurring colour varieties of Lepidium meyenii, a plant traditionally cultivated in the Andes.
What is black maca traditionally used for?
Maca has traditionally been used as a food associated with vitality, endurance and sexual wellbeing. Modern research has studied these areas, but the available clinical evidence is still limited and does not guarantee a specific result.
Can maca increase libido?
Some clinical studies have reported improvements in sexual desire or sexual wellbeing, while systematic reviews describe the overall evidence as limited. Individual results can vary, and maca should not be presented as a treatment for sexual dysfunction.
Does maca balance hormones?
Maca is frequently marketed in connection with hormonal balance, but it does not contain human hormones. Research has investigated its effects during hormonal life stages, including menopause, but the evidence is not sufficient to claim that maca corrects hormonal imbalances.
Can maca support fertility?
Research has explored maca in relation to semen quality and other reproductive parameters, but the number of studies is small and their results are not strong enough to establish a fertility benefit. Maca must not be used as a replacement for medical fertility assessment or treatment.
Can maca help with PMS or menopause?
Small studies have investigated maca in relation to mood, sexual wellbeing and menopausal discomfort. The results are preliminary, and systematic reviews conclude that stronger research is required.
How much black maca powder should I use?
Use 3 to 5 g per day. Start with the lower amount and gradually increase according to taste and how you prefer to include it in your routine.
Does the product contain added sugar?
No. The only ingredient is organic maca root powder. The product contains naturally occurring sugars from the root, but no sugar, syrup or other sweetening ingredient is added.
Is black maca powder vegan?
Yes. The product contains one plant-based ingredient: organic maca root powder.
