Maca root grows high in the mountains of South America and has been known as a powerful healing herb for many years. It is considered an adaptogenic, which means it contains natural substances to help the body adapt to stressors and maintain homeostasis (metabolic and hormonal balance). Its many benefits include increased fertility, sexuality and hormonal balance, immune-boosting, increases energy and stamina, and improves memory and focus.

 

Various types of ground up powdered medicinal mushrooms can be purchased in health food stores. They have highly absorbable medicinal constituents to ward off bacteria, build immunity, provide anti-inflammatory properties, support liver function, improve energy, restores adrenals, lower blood pressure, and it’s also an adaptogenic.

Put the two ingredients together and you’ve got yourself a powerful punch of nutrients!  Add to your chocolate, muffins or other baked goods, soups or smoothies!
