Shipping & Returns
WHEN ORDERING FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA
Condition of sale: Please note all sales made to addresses outside Australia are final and that international parcels cannot be left at the door.  Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel or it must be collected from your local post office within 7 days of attempted delivery.


It is common and unfortunate that the postman will not always leave a note for collection so it is imperative that customers regularly monitor the tracking number provided via email. If items are not collected from your local post office within 7 days they will be returned to us in Australia.


Please know that we do everything humanly possible to ensure that orders are express shipped on the day they are received, and we pay a small fortune to provide free express shipping for orders above $249AUD. For this reason, if a customer does not collect from the post office in time, it is their responsibility to pay for shipping if they wish for us to re-post (once the items are returned to us).

What is it?

The root of the maca (Lepidium meyenii) is shaped like a large radish. Maca has been harvested and used by humans in the Andean Mountains for centuries. Historically, maca was often traded for lowland tropical food staples, such as corn, rice, manioc (tapioca roots), quinoa and papaya. It was also used as a form of payment of Spanish imperial taxes. It is a cousin to other cruciferous plants, such as cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. In addition to its healthful fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein, maca provides numerous minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, iron, zinc, iodine and copper... vitamins B-1, B-2, C and E... nearly 20 amino acids, including linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid... as well as various plant sterols, which are natural cholesterol-lowering agents. All of these nutrients have been shown to promote health in a multitude of ways.

If you want to boost energy, increase libido, fight stress and reduce the risk for conditions such as diabetes or arthritis, then maca is for you. You can blend it into beverages or sprinkle on foods.

Maca has been shown to reduce enlarged prostate glands in rats. Small-scale clinical trials performed in men have shown that maca extracts can heighten libido and improve semen quality. A small double-blind, randomised, parallel group dose-finding pilot study has shown that Maca root may alleviate SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. A recent review states "randomised clinical trials have shown that maca has favourable effects on energy and mood, may decrease anxiety and improve sexual desire. Maca has also been shown to improve sperm production, sperm motility, and semen volume."
