Maca and Ashwagandha: Two Roots Explained
Maca grows in the Andes and ashwagandha in India. Both are roots with long histories.
Meet maca
Maca is a root vegetable from the high Andes of Peru, in the same family as radish and turnip. People there have eaten it for centuries, and today it is a popular choice for daily energy and stamina support.*
Where maca grows
Maca grows above 13,000 feet, on cold plateaus where few plants survive. Farmers dig the roots, dry them and grind them into flour. Yellow, red and black roots all go by the same name.
Meet ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a small shrub from India. Its root is a classic herb in Ayurveda. Many people choose it to support a healthy response to daily stress.* Researchers keep studying its link to stress and sleep.
Two roots, two homelands
- Maca: Peru, cold mountain plateaus, eaten as food.
- Ashwagandha: India, dry regions, used in Ayurveda.
- Both are dug up, dried and ground into powder before they become extracts.
