The Peruvian Maca (Lepidium meyerii), is an ancient treasure of the indigenous tribes living on the plateaus of the Peruvian Andes. It is a robust, very hardy plant that will not be broken even by major climatic fluctuations in the form of intense sunlight, strong winds, or bitter frosts. It thrives at altitudes of 3,500 to 4,500 meters and copes well with nutrient-poor soil. Its black variety is revered by indigenous communities in the Andes for its unique properties and is traditionally consumed as part of their diet and healing practices.
Maca negra (black) is rich in bioactive compounds such as macamides and macaenes, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. These nutrients provide a wide range of health benefits - boosting energy levels, cognitive function, and reproductive health, and especially supporting male fertility and overall vitality. Packed with antioxidants, Black Maca helps protect the body from oxidative stress, supporting overall cellular health.
Munay Black Maca is a concentrated broad-spectrum extract of black maca root, obtained by innovative ultrasonic extraction at low temperatures. This gentle process preserves maximum bioactive compounds including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other unique compounds to provide comprehensive health support.
Three varieties, three ways to harmony of body and mind
Yellow Maca - balance and vitality
Yellow maca is the most common and versatile of all the varieties. It promotes energy, stamina, and hormonal balance. It is ideal for daily use, helps to manage stress, and supports the overall vitality of the body. If you are looking for a gentle but effective support for the body and mind, Munay Yellow Maca is a great choice.
Red Maca - women's health in harmony
Red maca is considered the mildest variant, but its effects are profound. It naturally supports hormonal balance, stabilizes mood, and contributes to bone health. It is a great choice for women who want to support their menstrual cycle, relieve menopausal symptoms, or care for the health of their skin.
Black Maca - male strength, endurance and performance
Black maca is the most potent variant and is often associated with supporting physical performance, endurance, and cognitive function. It helps improve concentration, memory, and overall mental resilience. It is especially appreciated by men for its ability to support fertility and healthy testosterone levels. If you're looking for deep regeneration and body strengthening, Maca Negra is the right choice.
ENDURANCE AND STAMINA
Black maca naturally promotes physical stamina and regeneration of the body. Thanks to its high content of bioactive substances, it improves energy utilization and helps in recovery after strenuous exercise. Regular consumption can contribute to better adaptation to physical and mental stress.
SUPPORT OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS
Thanks to its rich content of macamides and macaenes, the plant contributes to better concentration and mental clarity. It is good for promoting memory, concentration and resistance to stress. It also promotes long-term mental health and slows down cognitive decline.
HORMONAL BALANCE
This variety of maca contributes to the harmonization of the endocrine system and helps to optimize hormone levels. It promotes overall vitality and balanced energy levels. It has a positive effect on the hormonal cycle and can help alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
SUPPORT MALE FERTILITY
The root from the plant is traditionally used to increase sperm quality and promote testosterone production. It helps improve reproductive health and natural fertility in men. It also acts as a natural aphrodisiac that can promote sexual vitality and performance.
Origin and composition
The entire tincture production process - from the harvesting of the plants to the extraction itself to the final bottling - takes place in friendly communities in Ecuador, where the Munay Naturals project headquarters is located - an extraction laboratory in the heart of the rainforest.
This liquid extract is made exclusively from Maca roots grown on the plateaus of the Peruvian Andes, carefully processed to ensure a high concentration of active ingredients in a convenient 50ml bottle. Read more about the processing method below.
The extract is produced by a method that preserves the natural plant compounds and the synergy of the active ingredients. Low temperatures below 38°C are used in the extraction process, minimizing the degradation of the bioactive components. Each liter of extract contains the essence of approximately 1 kg of dried Maca root, achieving a high concentration of active ingredients.
Ingredients: Lepidium meyenii root extract, purified water, alcohol (25%). We do not use any fillers or additives.
The pinnacle of extraction alchemy - dual extraction assisted by ultrasonic technology
The product is obtained from the original plant material by a double extraction method - water and alcohol. Warm water allows the extraction of water-soluble bioactive substances, while alcohol is more suitable for the extraction of other water-insoluble substances. By using both extraction reagents, an extract with a high concentration of bioactive substances is achieved.
To create an even more effective extract, we use the unique technology of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). This method effectively disrupts the normally not easily accessible cell walls of plants, allowing for a more efficient release of bioactive compounds from the original plant matter into the final extract.
Practicality and effectiveness of tincture
Thanks to its easy application, the use of the tincture is very practical. It can be dripped into water, on food or directly into the mouth. This makes it an ideal wellness supplement for traveling.
The tincture is better absorbed by the human body compared to powdered extracts, so the onset of effects is faster and more intense.
Compared to encapsulated extracts, we also see the advantages of the tincture in that we come into direct contact with the flavour - the essence of the plant- through our taste buds before consumption. In TCM and Ayurveda, taste is one of the therapeutic tools. The taste and other properties of the plant activate specific processes of our body already in contact with the taste buds and prepare the body for the therapeutic effect of the product consumed. The taste also activates our digestive system in advance, allowing the tincture to be better absorbed by the body.
EFFECTIVE
Higher and faster bioavailability of active ingredients thanks to the effective breakthrough technology of ultrasonic extraction, considered the pinnacle of extraction alchemy.
100% NATURAL
Our extracts are completely natural - they are organically grown and contain no additives. They are thus the rightful holders of the BIO certification.
AUTHENTIC
The extracts are the result of a careful process of finding the best of nature to support human health. Everything has been carefully verified and tested before being brought to market.
Methods of application and dosage
The tincture can be taken in various ways - sublingually (by placing it under the tongue and then swallowing it), it can be added to tea, coffee, smoothies and other foods.
For starters, we recommend starting with a few drops in your favourite morning drink, breakfast smoothie or porridge, or you can drip it straight into your mouth. The concentrated formula delivers results even at this dosage. If necessary, the dose can be increased to 1 ml per day, which often provides optimal effects.
The presence of ethanol and purified water ensures the tincture has a shelf life of up to 24 months, so you don't have to worry about early degradation. To preserve the maximum effectiveness of the tincture for as long as possible, we recommend storing it away from light, in a dry place, at room temperature or even lower.
Recommended combinations
To promote adaptogenic effects and overall health of the organism, the tincture should be combined with medicinal mushrooms. Also with other adaptogens such as Ashwagandha.
The Synergistic combination of Black Peruvian Maca;
- to support energy, endurance and physical performance with medicinal mushrooms like Turkey Tail and Cordyceps and with Wayusa.
- for cognitive support with Lion's Mane, Gotu Kola, Ginkgo biloba and Mucuna.
- to support men's hormonal and reproductive health with medicinal mushrooms Reishi, Shiitake and with Ashwagandha and Mucuna.
Why does the tincture contain alcohol? Is it necessary?
Alcohol is essential for the efficient extraction of important bioactive compounds that cannot be extracted using hot water. This makes the tincture an even more effective means of supporting your health.
In addition, the alcohol serves as a preservative, keeping the carefully extracted substances stable and helping to ensure the quality and durability of the tincture for a longer period of time.
As a result, when applying the tincture itself, you consume only trace and therefore negligible amounts of alcohol, which can be found in ripe bananas and other fruits, even in bread.
