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. The red variety is revered in the Andes by indigenous communities, who traditionally consume it as part of their diet and medicinal practices.
Along with its rich composition of essential vitamins and minerals, Maca roja (red) is also distinguished by its abundance of bioactive compounds, including glucosinolates, polyphenols and flavonoids. These nutrients contribute to its ability to naturally support hormone regulation, influence bone density, and overall well-being, making it particularly beneficial for women's health.
Munay Red Maca is a concentrated broad-spectrum extract of red 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, providing 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.
HORMONAL BALANCE
Red maca is valued for its ability to support hormonal balance, especially in women. It helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, relieve symptoms of menopause, and support healthy estrogen levels. It also helps to reduce stress due to its adaptogenic properties.
HEALTHY AND STRONG BONES
Thanks to its high content of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals, it promotes bone strength and health. It helps prevent bone loss, which is especially crucial for menopausal women. Regular consumption can contribute to better bone mineralization and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
MOOD STABILIZATION
Maca promotes emotional stability and helps regulate mood swings. Its adaptogenic properties help reduce stress levels and improve resistance to mental stress. Regular use can contribute to better mental well-being and an overall sense of equanimity.
BEAUTIFUL SKIN
The antioxidants and essential nutrients contribute to the regeneration of the skin and its protection against premature aging. Maca promotes hydration, elasticity, and a healthy skin appearance. It also helps relieve the symptoms of acne or other skin problems by balancing hormone levels.
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 (20%). 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 Red Peruvian Maca;
- to support female hormonal health and vitality with Tulsi and medicinal mushrooms Reishi and Shiitake.
- to support immunity and regeneration with Gotu Kola and medicinal mushrooms Chaga and Turkey Tail.
- to support bone and joint health with Lion's Mane and Ashwagandha and Ginkgo biloba.
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.
