Root wisdom.
Female strength.
Among the three maca varieties, red maca root (Lepidium meyenii) stands apart for its remarkable affinity with the female body. Softer in flavour and richer in certain phytonutrients than its black and yellow counterparts, red maca root has been used by indigenous Andean women for generations to support hormonal balance, reproductive health and sustained energy through every stage of life. Our red maca root extract is sourced directly from Peruvian and Ecuadorian highland communities, preserved in organic cane sugar alcohol and concentrated into 60 servings per 50ml bottle.
Benefits & Research
Red maca benefits are most strongly associated with female hormonal health, making it the variety of choice for women seeking natural support for their reproductive and endocrine systems. Research suggests that red maca may support healthy oestrogen balance, bone density and mood stability — three areas that become particularly important during perimenopause and menopause. Women dealing with hormonal fluctuations have long turned to red maca for women as a gentle, food-based alternative to synthetic hormone support. Maca root fertility is one of the most researched areas of maca science. Red maca in particular has been associated with support for healthy ovarian function and menstrual regularity, making red maca for fertility a well-established traditional use that modern research is beginning to validate. For women navigating red maca menopause, studies suggest potential benefits for hot flushes, mood and energy levels during hormonal transition. As a maca root extract in liquid form, our red maca offers superior bioavailability compared to powder or capsule formats. The recommended dose is 2 droppers per day — equivalent to the amount of maca used in clinical trials — delivered in a format your body can absorb immediately.
"The rarest maca, chosen by Andean women for generations — red maca is the extract that brings your body back into balance."

Origin & Sourcing
Red maca grows exclusively above 4,000 metres in the Andean highlands of Peru and Ecuador — an environment so demanding that only the most resilient plants survive. The intense altitude, volcanic soil and wide temperature swings between day and night concentrate the root's active compounds in ways impossible to replicate at lower elevations. Munay sources directly from indigenous highland communities who have cultivated maca for over 2,000 years, using traditional farming methods that honour both the land and the generations of knowledge behind this remarkable plant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes red maca different from black or yellow maca?
Each maca variety has a distinct profile. Red maca is most associated with female hormonal balance, fertility and bone health. Black maca is more commonly used for male vitality and physical performance. Yellow maca is the most widely available and offers a gentle, balanced effect suitable for everyone.
How long before I notice results?
Maca is an adaptogen — it works gradually and cumulatively. Most people begin to notice a difference after 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can I take red maca every day?
Yes. The standard serving is 1 dropper per day. The maximum recommended dose is 2 droppers per day — equivalent to the amount of maca used in clinical trials.
Is this product suitable during pregnancy?
We do not recommend this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Does the alcohol in the extract get you drunk?
