Maca Root is believed to be go back as far as as early as 4000 B.C but was first used by the Inca’s over 2000 years ago and is found in the Andes region. The history of Maca Root goes back for thousands of years and was used as an important commodity at that time for trading and diet. The benefits were so potent, that the Inca’s restricted its consumption for royalty only. The plant was brought to Europe by the Spanish, who overturned the Inca’s and discovered its medicinal properties. Again, the plant was used by Spanish royalty, however its popularity began to slowly cease, and its health benefits were only to be rediscovered in the 1960's and 1980's.
