Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable in the same family as the turnip. It is native the Andes of Peru and Bolivia grown at altitudes between 13,000 and 15,000 feet (highest crop grown). The Andean Incas highly valued the root as they believed it to increase energy, endurance and fertility in both humans and animals. They also used it as currency when bartering with peoples of other regions.

The root has recently been rediscovered for its high nutritional value. It is very mineral rich (such as calcium, iron, copper, magnesium, and zinc) as well as significant amounts of vitamins B1, B2, C, proteins, carbohydrates, and lignans.

However, it is the possible sexual functions of maca that arouses the most interest. Even today it is thought that this little root may alleviate menopausal symptoms in women, increase semen volume, sperm count and motility in men and enhance libido, endurance and fertility in both sexes.  The research that has been done on the herb has shown that even though it can create these types of results, it does not contain or directly influence actual sex hormones.

Since maca research is still in its infancy it is unknown why these hormonal effects often take place over long term maca use. One theory is that the alkaloids found in maca stimulates the endocrine system, another is that its adaptogenic properties allow the body to maintain hormonal homeostasis. Likely, it is the synergy of these as well as other biological processes that maca promotes.

The maca used in BōKU® Super Food is a special organic, fresh pressed maca root juice that is far more potent than plain powdered maca root. It is only one of the ingredients in BōKU® that can help add years to your life and life to your years!

“Thanks to you too, Lynn. I am grateful that you have made Boku available to us all at an affordable price. I take my smoothie breakfast to work every morning and people are always asking me what the heck it is because of the green color. I explain to everyone how I am boosting my immune system and protecting myself from degenerative diseases. And very happy to be doing so.

So keep up the good work. It is much appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving,”

In her Planet Green article writer and healthy living spokesperson Laurel House asks: What’s a green produce devotee supposed to

do when Farmer’s Markets close down during winter months?

Her answer: Chow down on organic superfood powder instead. Of course! In fact, she recommends BōKU® Superfood powder specifically.

“Sure, you can choose to spend a pretty penny and swallow a handful of processed vitamins and supplements, but the delivery system is inherently flawed and our bodies have a hard time breaking them down in order to really experience the nutritional benefits (hence hyper-yellow, vitamin-enriched urine). So instead of flushing your money down the toilet (literally), drink a green shake in the am (or mix it with yogurt and frozen blueberries- yum!). Green powder superfoods are one of the easiest ways to deliver the body its vital produce-derived nutrients. But here’s the key: finding organic green powders. Well, I happen to have found one called Boku Superfood that’s certified organic, Kosher and vegan and seriously not bad (which is saying a lot if you have ever tried others…).

Want to know the best part? One serving of the grassy-tasting stuff and you’re getting a serious dose of fruits and greens including organic spirulina, organic kelp, organic broccoli, organic spinach, organic cabbage, organic parsley, organic sprouted flax, organic mushrooms, organic goji berry, and organic strawberries.”

If anyone lives in these regions and would like to join one of these walks visit http://www.walkfromobesity.com/locationmap.php.

If you’d like to participate but live in another region, please keep checking the page as it is constantly being updated with walks being set up in new cities for the spring season.
