Maca is a root vegetable that has been cultivated for centuries in the Andes mountains of Peru. The root is dried or extracted and is popular in supplement form.

This means that each capsule contains a fixed minimum amount of beta-sitosterol, specifically 2.5%. This guarantees consistency in composition.

The extract is obtained by concentrating a large amount of dried maca root. As a result, one capsule contains the same active substances as a multiple of standard powder form.

Beta-sitosterol is a naturally occurring plant compound that belongs to the group of phytosterols. These substances can be found, among others, in nuts, seeds, grains, and plant oils. In this supplement, it is derived from maca and standardized to a fixed minimum content of 2.5%.
