INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to send Augustine Approved products all over the world.

By placing an order for delivery outside Australia, you acknowledge and agree that any import duties, taxes, customs clearance fees or other government charges imposed by your destination country are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. These charges are determined by your local customs authority, are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost, and are outside our control.

Please also note that all international sales are considered final unless otherwise required by law.

Because international deliveries generally require a signature, parcels cannot be left unattended. Someone must be available to accept delivery or collect the parcel from your local post office or courier depot within the required collection period.

Unfortunately, postal services do not always leave a collection card or notification, so we strongly recommend keeping an eye on the tracking information sent to you by email.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to check tracking regularly to ensure receipt. If an order is returned to us because it was not collected, we are always happy to resend it once it arrives back in Australia. Any additional shipping charges will be the responsibility of the purchaser.

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."
