What is Maca?
Maca is a root vegetable originating from the Andes Mountains in Peru and is the only edible plant that grows at such high altitudes (3000-4500 metres). Maca is also known as the 'Ginseng of the Andes'. It was used by the Incas and was especially considered a delicacy due to its sweet flavour. Maca is available in 3 colours. The yellow variant is the most well-known, red Maca has the most active substances, and black Maca is the rarest. Maca naturally has a caramel-like taste.

Unlike herbal extracts, maca products are very difficult to compare. Therefore, it cannot be stated which product is the best. It is also not possible to say which brand contains the best maca, as this will vary with each harvest and batch.
On 15 may 2016 by Customer serviceNeither product is standardised on a specific ingredient. Therefore, the only comparison that can be made is the amount of powder per capsule, and in that respect, the Active Maca from Mattisson Healthstyle is more highly dosed.
