Maca is one of those supplement powders that has made itself well known, probably due to its claim of “creating heat under the   sheets”…..It also boosts health, energy, improves your mood as well as your libido.
The maca plant is def not the  new kid on the block as it has been around for more than 3000 years.
It comes from Peru and resembles a cruciferous root vegetable.
