Description
Maca (Lepidium meyenii), a plant native to the highlands of Peru, is a mineral-rich, cruciferous root that the indigenous peoples have traditionally consumed as a vegetable. Maca has gained attention for its ability to balance the effects of major steroid hormones in the body, which helps maintain sexual function in both aging men and women. Additionally, it plays a supportive role in managing mood-related symptoms during menopause, particularly for women.
AOR’s Maca offers several advantages. It is grown in a pesticide- and fertilizer-free environment, ensuring a cleaner and more natural product. Furthermore, the harvesting process is both socially and ecologically responsible. AOR directly purchases the root from traditional cattle herders in the Andes, supporting local communities. The decision-making process for land use follows a communitarian and consensus-based approach, where the communal council has the final say on crop planting and harvesting. This model allows the communities to preserve their cultural traditions while also integrating into the broader economy.
