Where is Maca Powder Sourced from?
Direct from the heights of the Peruvian Andes, Nutriseed Maca Powder is cultivated in a remote mountainous community in the Huancavelica Province in Peru at almost 15,000 feet above sea level. It is only at these high altitudes with very little oxygen, combined with rich dark soil and bright sunshine that the world’s most nutrient dense Maca Root can grow. It is here that indigenous communities live off the land and prosper through cultivating one of their country’s most prized crops.
