The unique strength of black maca with HSN power
One of the most exclusive varieties
Among macas, the black variety is the most valued for its link to sexual performance and male and female energy. Its intense color reflects a higher density of phenolic compounds and alkaloids that boost its overall effect.
A 20:1 extract for maximum potency
Each veggie capsule contains an extract that condenses 20 parts of root into 1. That means a single 500mg dose equals 10 grams of dried black maca. An exceptional concentration for a more comfortable and practical way to use it.
Root: the heart of maca’s compounds
We only use the root of Lepidium meyenii to make our extract, since it’s the part richest in phytonutrients. No leaves or stems, guaranteeing a full profile of characteristic phytonutrients, which are mainly responsible for maca’s traditional benefits.

A plant with a millenary history
Maca comes from the Peruvian Andes, where it’s been cultivated for over 2 000 years. It was considered a sacred food ideal for harsh high-altitude conditions. Black maca, in particular, was reserved for warriors and people with high responsibilities due to its link with sexual potency and physical vigor.
Today, black maca still holds a place in dietary supplementation, in a more concentrated and functional, less traditional form.
