Maca is a plant grown in the Peruvian Andes over 4000m above sea level. Its root & hypocotyl – the bulbous stem below the leafy growth – have for centuries been part of the diet & culture of people in the region. Legend has it that Incan warriors consumed it prior to battle to increase their fighting spirit, & it has historically been used to enhance strength, stamina & libido. It presents a broad spectrum of nutrients, & is increasingly popular with athletes. The core of Maca’s nutritional profile is carbohydrate, which is over half its volume. This is an energy source & vital to active people. The carbohydrate is balanced in Maca by a healthy dose of proteins. The Calcium offered by Maca is also a vital resource, & is backed by several other vital minerals. These include Iron & Magnesium. Maca also contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2 & the antioxidant Vitamin C. A signature component of Maca is dietary fibre, an absolutely essential part of our intake & one which many modern foods lack in sufficiency. There are several slightly-differing variants of Maca, which express themselves in the colour of the root & hypocotyl. Maca can be cream, yellow-gold, green, red, violet, grey or black. Fundamentally these have the same basic nutritional profile, but they exhibit small shifts in the proportions of secondary phytonutrients they present. Scientific study has begun to confirm the established dietary opinion that different colours of Maca have slightly different beneficial properties. Rainforest Foods Maca capsules contain a blend of 4 different phenotypes of Lepidium peruvianum Chacon – a specific type of maca – designed to provide optimal general nutrition. ...

Although mankind has used Barley grain for millennia, only in the early Twentieth Century did we discover the nutritional richness of its young, leafy growth (cotyledons). Abundant in chlorophyll, protein, vitamins & minerals, it is a superfood. It is ideal both for those detox, & for ongoing health.A signature component of barley is chlorophyll. It is high in magnesium, essential to humans for bone strength, proper muscle function & normalising blood pressure & flow. Barley grass’ protein assists us as we build, repair & maintain muscle tissue. The protein in Barley grass has 18 of the 22 amino acids, including all of the eight essential amino acids that the body can’t make for itself. Barley grass is an excellent source of protein for vegans. The vitamin content of Barley grass is significant. It provides 30 times more Vitamin B1 than cows’ milk, for proper function of the nervous system & muscles. Its Vitamin B2 helps us extract energy from carbohydrates & produce healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B6 is required for the absorption of amino acids & chemicals involved in brain function. It also helps muscle function, enabling blood haemoglobin to bind oxygen. B9 (folic acid) is essential before & during pregnancy, as well as beneficial to blood health. Vitamin B12 is used in almost every process. Vitamin C helps heal wounds & regulate blood flow, & is highly antioxidant. Barley grass is a natural source of minerals. As well as the magnesium in its chlorophyll, it contains calcium, copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, & potassium. These are essential, & lacking in modern, processed foods. Calcium promotes healthy, strong bones & teeth, as well as good circulatory & nerve health. Copper helps the body absorb fats & aids melanin & dopamine production, governing mood, reaction to sunlight & skin health. Iron aids red blood cell production, preventing anaemia. Manganese is needed by many functions throughout the body. Phosphorous is required for cellular function. Potassium works with sodium to allow nerve impulses to flow & facilitate muscle reaction. ...
