NOW Foods Maca 500 mg – 100 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods Maca 500 mg – 100 Veg Capsules is a premium plant-based botanical supplement providing 500 mg of Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) per vegetable capsule.

Traditionally cultivated in the high-altitude Andean regions of Peru, Maca has been consumed for centuries as a nutritious root vegetable and used in traditional wellness preparations associated with vitality, energy and reproductive well-being.

Designed for adult men and women, NOW Foods Maca offers a convenient way to incorporate this traditional Andean botanical into a balanced daily wellness routine.

500 mg Maca Root — Traditional Andean Botanical

Each vegetable capsule delivers 500 mg of Maca Root, obtained from Lepidium meyenii.

Maca belongs to the Brassicaceae botanical family and is native to the high-altitude regions of the Peruvian Andes.

Its root has traditionally been consumed as food and incorporated into preparations associated with general vitality.

Today, Maca is widely used in botanical supplements developed for adults seeking plant-based wellness ingredients.

NOW Foods provides Maca Root without additional active botanical blends or hormone-related ingredients.

Traditional Vitality & General Well-Being

Maca has a long history of traditional use as a food and general energy tonic.

Its traditional reputation has made it a popular ingredient in supplements associated with vitality and everyday wellness.

Scientific research has investigated Maca for potential effects on perceived well-being, exercise-related outcomes and other physiological measures.

However, current human evidence remains limited, and supplementation with Maca has not been conclusively shown to improve energy, physical endurance or athletic performance.

NOW Foods Maca can complement a balanced lifestyle but should not replace adequate nutrition, regular physical activity or sufficient rest.

Sexual Well-Being — For Men & Women

Maca is commonly included in supplements marketed for male and female sexual well-being.

Some small clinical studies have investigated its potential effects on sexual desire and related aspects of reproductive wellness.

Preliminary findings have generated scientific interest, although the results are not sufficiently consistent to establish a reliable clinical benefit.

According to NOW Foods, Maca may support sexual well-being as part of its traditional botanical positioning.

The product is not intended to treat sexual dysfunction, infertility or other reproductive disorders.

Maca & Hormonal Function

Maca is frequently discussed in relation to Testosterone, Oestrogen and other reproductive hormones.

However, available clinical evidence does not demonstrate that Maca consistently increases Testosterone or directly regulates hormone concentrations.

NOW Foods also states that clinical data indicate Maca does not exert a direct effect on endocrine function.

Therefore, Maca should not be described as a proven Testosterone booster, hormone-balancing treatment or natural anabolic agent.

Its value as a supplement should be considered in the context of its botanical composition and traditional use.

Naturally Occurring Plant Compounds

Maca Root naturally contains a variety of plant-derived constituents.

Research has identified compounds such as Macamides, Macaenes and Glucosinolates in Maca preparations.

These compounds have attracted interest in botanical and nutritional research.

However, NOW Foods Maca 500 mg does not declare standardised concentrations of these compounds.

The product should therefore not be presented as a standardised extract or as delivering a specific amount of an individual phytochemical.

Simple Plant-Based Formula

NOW Foods Maca contains just three declared ingredients:

• Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) — 500 mg

• Hypromellose Vegetable Capsule

• Stearic Acid from a Vegetable Source

The formula contains no declared artificial colours or animal-derived ingredients.

Its straightforward composition is designed for adults who prefer a traditional botanical supplement without multiple active ingredients.

The formula is also manufactured without Wheat, Gluten, Soya, Maize, Milk, Egg, Fish, Shellfish or Tree Nut ingredients.

Convenient Daily Supplementation

NOW Foods recommends taking 1 vegetable capsule 1–3 times daily.

Each capsule provides 500 mg of Maca Root.

This allows a manufacturer-recommended daily intake ranging from 500 mg to 1,500 mg.

The appropriate intake should account for individual circumstances and any relevant medical advice.

The manufacturer does not specify a mandatory time of day.

100 Vegetable Capsules — 100 Standard Servings

Each container provides 100 vegetable capsules, corresponding to 100 standard 1-capsule servings.

Depending on the recommended intake, one bottle provides:

• 100 days at 1 capsule daily

• 50 days at 2 capsules daily

The convenient capsule format eliminates the need to measure or prepare Maca powder.

NOW Foods Quality

NOW Foods is an established supplement manufacturer with a long history in nutritional products.

Natural variations in capsule contents or colour may occur because Maca is a plant-derived ingredient.
