Nutritional Herbal Supplement Safety and Health Diet

Is maca root safe?

Maca root supplement is not a stimulant because it contains no caffeine. Maca is a food, so is classed as a nutritional supplement. Lepidium peruvianum and Lepidium meyenii refer to the species and genus of the maca plant. When you purchase maca root extract, check to see if it was grown organically, (without the use of pesticides), and find out where it was grown in Peru. Some of the maca farming areas in the Andes are affected by contaminated water from nearby mines in the country, so you might end up with maca root with mercury or lead contamination. Maca root extract should not be diluted with any fillers either. Some maca root is also irradiated, so be sure the maca root extract you buy has been standardized. Select a reputable supplement brand when you buy maca root extract supplements. If you're very concerned about the possible presence of bacteria, a good alternative is gelatinized maca root. It's a process that removes starch from the maca plant. Gelatinized maca root is more bio-available. When looking for quality dietary maca root supplement try www.maca-extract.com
