Maca has been utilized as a medicinal food for centuries by the people of the high altitude Andes regions of Peru and Bolivia. Maca was an important staple of their diet as it is able to grow wild and survive the harsh climates. Maca supported the people to adapt, reproduce, and thrive in harsh conditions that include severe cold, rugged terrain, low oxygen, strong sunlight and intense winds.
