Maca

Maca (lepidium meyenii walp), is a small root bulb, which grows in the Peruvian Andes at 4000m. Maca is a distant relative of celery as we know it and has been growing from time immemorial in the wild highlands of the Andes, a hostile and rugged area which is exposed to extreme climatic conditions. Maca is a very precious product for the inhabitants of this area due to its high proportion of valuable minerals and has been used for centuries as a fertility aid for humans and animals. The Spanish conquerors already transported the roots to Europe in ships in the 16th century. Maca was already deemed so valuable by the colonial lords of the time that they accepted it as a means of payment. Effects: Maca contains important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron as well as valuable secondary plant substances. Maca is also regarded as a good source of energy for athletes. As well as the positive effect on physical performance, Maca also promotes psychological resilience.

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant from the soapberry family, native to the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous people discovered its red fruit and dark seeds, calling it "warana," which later became Guarana. They traditionally pressed the seeds into sticks, pulverized them using a fish's rough tongue, and used the powder as a stimulant and food substitute. Unlike coffee, Guarana refreshes without causing nervousness. Its caffeine (Guaranin) is released slowly, providing 4-6 hours of stimulation without side effects, thanks to its tannins and fibers. Although Guarana contains 3.5% caffeine, only 1g of powder (40mg caffeine) is typically used per serving, compared to 80mg in a cup of coffee. Ideal for those sensitive to coffee, Guarana is popular among people under stress, night owls, and those needing long-lasting alertness. Widely used in Brazil, it's favored by athletes, drivers, and politicians.

Our Lucuma comes from Oxapampa, an area which lies at 2000m in the Peruvian Andes mountains. The Lucuma tree, which can reach heights of 20 metres, was already being cultivated before the 13th century and is known as the “Gold of the Incas“. Lucuma fruit itself is recognisable by its brown skin and intensive yellow fruit pulp with its two relatively large stones. It is about the size of an orange and tastes like mango. ORGANIC Lucuma powder is ideal in drinks, tablets and smoothies due to its light sweetness, neutralises strong and bitter tastes and is filling.

Collagen is the most commonly found protein in the human body and is often described as the primary structural protein, which gives stability to our tissues, skin and ligaments as well as to our cartilage and joints and holds them together. This amino acid complex (vegan collagen) is superior to collagen of animal origin in many respects Since collagen of animal origin is broken down into individual amino acids in the body after consumption, we can also supply our body directly with all the important amino acids ("vegan collagen") instead of taking the diversions via animal collagen. Since the amino acids of the "vegan collagen" are already freely available and thus immediately ready for use, the biological availability is higher than with animal collagen. The collagen of animal origin can also transmit diseases or pathogens and cause allergic reactions. Furthermore, the production of collagen of animal origin is not sustainable.
