Maca, whose Latin name is Lepidium Meyenii, is a taproot plant of the Brassicaceae.

In ancient times, during the Inca era, they used it to boost fertility and increase sexual energy. It is also interesting to know that Maca were formerly called "Peruvian Ginseng" and currently some nickname it the "Peruvian Viagra" as this plant would stimulate the production of male and female hormones.

Maca was a source of reward that was given to warriors to bring them even more energy, not sexual here but vital. So that they can maintain their stamina and strength in battle.
