Say hello to our new friend: Peruvian Maca 10x

Peruvian Maca 10x is the first product in our new Foraged Formula line. We focused on purity and potency to support your performance at work, in the gym and in the bedroom.

How does Maca help the body in so many ways? The magical potential of macamides! Emerging research points to unique compounds found exclusively in Maca called Macamides. After 14-21 days of consistent Maca consumption, Macamides may increase the amount of Anandamide in the brain – which supports mood and influences how the endocannabinoid system helps the body regulate itself.

Pardon the nerdiness. The bottom line is Maca takes time to work. It doesn't stimulate the nervous system like caffeine, so to experience the benefits, you need to consume Maca consistently.

This is why each bottle contains a 2-months supply to get you going in the right direction!

Check it out!

Maca 10x is elegantly designed to vibrantly support your performance at work, in the gym and in the bedroom. Made with Organic Peruvian Maca.

In some places, wellness can be considered a currency!
Some local notables found here: Cuculmecca & Cat's Claw.

Cuculmecca (AKA sarsaparilla) is native to Central America. Dried it has a Mars red color to it and has traditionally been used for years as a blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, immunity booster, and cleansing agent. It's best consumed boiled in water as a tea.

Cat's Claw is a vine native to tropical areas of Central and South America. Indigenous people have been using it for thousands of years to treat viral infections, arthritis, parasites, and it is said to contain chemicals that might kill cancer cells.

Plant Teachers: Part 1 🍫

When cacao pods are ready to be picked, they are split open and the seeds are harvested. At this point, the seeds are covered in a white, fleshy pulp, and assembled together in a long, shallow wooden box, and worked around by hand. This is where the magic of fermentation begins. Even more fascinating is that the cacao will take on the yeast and microorganisms of whomever is working it by hand, giving each batch of beans its own distinct flavor, much like vintages of wine. Fermentation is a natural process in which yeast, bacteria, or other microorganisms break down the sugar in the pulp into acidic compounds. This fermentation step is essential in making chocolate, because it triggers chemical changes that help the beans develop a wonderful chocolatey flavor. Fermentation also creates heat, sometimes upwards of 120 degrees fahrenheit, which kills the germ of the cacao bean (the part that sprouts into new life) and deteriorates the pulpy residue, allowing it to separate from the gold (or brown in this case) nugget inside. In history, this pulpy residue has been considered a waste product. It was not until sometime in the 19th century when farmers realized they could ferment the pulp into a liquor, or “cocoa wine.” Truly a heroic story of waste to wealth.

Cacao has antioxidants and contains small amounts of caffeine which have been proven to lower blood pressure, but it’s main active ingredient is theobromine, which not only influences our moods and our state of alertness. But may also act as an antitumoral, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protector molecule without the undesirable side effects from caffeine. Amazingly, young cacao leaves contain up to 3-4 times more theobromine than cacao beans and smoking the leaves is said to relax muscles, improve mood, and clear the mind. 🤯
