I. The Queen of the Andes
Maca is an internationally treasured herb, hailed as the "King of World Tonics," growing at an altitude of 4800 meters in the plateau region of the South American Andes. The English name Maca originates from the ancient Inca indigenous language, with the original meaning being "mother." In Peru, the local indigenous people revere Maca as the "Queen of the Andes," firmly believing that it is because of Maca that men can emit a fiery glow like the sun, and women can maintain their bright and enchanting beauty like the moon. What magical qualities make the Incas worship Maca as both "mother" and "queen"?
It turns out that in the harsh environment of high altitude and low oxygen, human fertility and livestock reproduction significantly decrease. In times of hunger, early Incas consumed Maca to temporarily fill their stomachs and quench their thirst. Surprisingly, after consuming Maca, they not only felt full of energy and robust health but also experienced a significant increase in reproductive function. It was precisely through the long-term consumption of Maca that the Incas were able to reproduce a large number of descendants.
II. The Legend of the Inca Empire
Historians were astonished to discover: The Inca Empire was the only empire in the world located in a high-altitude region. Because in high-altitude areas, human fertility and sexual capacity are greatly reduced. However, the prosperity of the Inca Empire greatly surprised historians. They fiercely plundered all the races of the Andes and established a powerful Inca Empire. According to historical records, before the Incas went to conquer new territories, they would order soldiers to consume large amounts of Maca to become strong and fierce in battle. But after capturing cities, they would forbid soldiers from eating Maca to protect the local women from sexual assault.
In the 18th century, the prosperity of the Inca Empire caused fear among the Spaniards. The Spanish brought advanced weapons and warhorses across the ocean to attack the Incas. However, even before the battle began, the soldiers were found to be lethargic, and the horses had lost their reproductive abilities. Combined with the effects of high altitude and water-soil incompatibility, this led to the army's inability to advance and fight.
At this moment, a native chief who opposed the rule of the Inca Empire offered Maca. After the horses ate it, they miraculously regained their reproductive ability and bred a racehorse species unique to South America. The Spaniards boldly tried it and were amazed by its effectiveness. Men regained their vigor, and women bore children, solving all their problems. Ultimately, the Spaniards used their advanced weapons and internal conflicts within the Inca Empire to finally defeat the Incas.
For 300 years, Maca has been presented as a tribute to the Spanish royal family and continues to be used to this day. Among the Spanish royal family, there is still a custom where on the king's birthday, everyone indulges in a grand Maca feast.
III. The Origin of Peru's National Treasure
Maca grows best in the cold regions of the Andes Mountains and has not yet been successfully introduced worldwide. Moreover, due to the need for Maca to absorb a large amount of energy from the earth during its growth, after each cultivation, the land must rest for six years before it can be planted again, leading to extremely low yields. Every seven years, the total output of Maca in the Andes Mountains is only 400 tons, far from meeting international market demands.
Currently, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have recognized Maca as a globally rare plant. The Peruvian government has designated Maca as the top national treasure for protection, and its level of protection in Peru is as precious as pandas in China.
Former Peruvian President Fujimori praised Maca endlessly. Not only did he present Maca as a valuable gift to leaders of various countries, but he also recommended Maca seven times in Peru's first news broadcast. He said: "Peru's Maca is Peru's pride, it is the 'Queen of the Andes' who granted Peru this miraculous national treasure..."
IV. Nutrition of the King of Tonic Herbs
After pharmacological analysis by the U.S. FDA, it was discovered that Maca contains 55 high-unit nutrients, rich in proteins, amino acids, fats, glycogen, and other nutritional components, with no side effects. It is a purely natural, most effective, and most valuable energy supplement.
Moreover, 19 of these nutrients are difficult to obtain from other plants. These nutrients work synergistically in the body, with more noticeable effects such as increased secondary development in women, firmer breasts, more pronounced female characteristics; men experience abundant physical strength, vigorous energy, and significantly improved sexual ability.
More importantly, Maca not only significantly improves male and female characteristics but also comprehensively regulates various functions of the human body. The high-unit nutrients in Maca provide continuous nourishment to the body's nine major systems and over 400 organs, allowing the body to reach its optimal state of balance and health.
International medical experts at the 16th Global Medical Conference held in the United States declared: "The nutritional value of Maca far surpasses any other plant in the world, making it the undisputed 'King of World Tonics.'"
V. Nanotechnology Precision Extraction
Maca Molira is exclusively produced by the Royal Pharmaceutical Factory of Peru, which belongs to the Peruvian royal family and is the only true Maca production company in the world. Its proprietary nanotechnology precision extraction process involves 12 steps of careful extraction of Maca raw materials. One kilogram of Maca can only extract one Maca Molira capsule. This nanotechnology extraction method is considered one of the best international extraction techniques, achieving a human absorption rate of 98%. Its 55 high-unit nutrients are almost completely absorbed by the human body.
In comparison, whether it's Chinese caterpillar fungus or ginseng, whether soaked in alcohol, boiled in soup, or ground into fine powder, the absorption rate of active ingredients can only reach 3-5%, which is at least 19 times less efficient compared to Maca's nanotechnology extraction. This is also one of the important reasons why ginseng and caterpillar fungus are not universally recognized and promoted internationally.
Maca, with its unique mode of action, surpasses natural ginseng, caterpillar fungus, and Viagra, earning the title of "King of Tonics" and consistently ranking among the top global sales for ten consecutive years.
VI. Recognition by Authoritative Institutions
Maca has gained widespread recognition worldwide. The American CNN News Channel has provided detailed reports on Maca, and the Discovery Channel has comprehensively introduced the wonders and historical origins of Maca, referring to it as "this pure natural Viagra that will soon become a global business."
CCTV's 30 Minutes News program has specifically reported on the miraculous effects of Maca. The report stated: "A traditional plant used to increase the sperm count in men—Maca—brings hope to modern medicine in overcoming certain sexual dysfunction challenges. Researchers found that subjects who consumed Maca experienced an improvement in sexual ability ranging from 180% to 240%. Their average active sperm count also doubled. Furthermore, the test subjects reported feeling more energetic and focused in their daily lives."
In addition to media reports, the Peruvian International Mountaineering Team and the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan designated Maca as a nutritional supplement. NASA, the U.S. Space Agency, has included Maca as a dedicated food for astronauts for nine years. It is truly a space food, demonstrating its exceptional nutritional value.
