"Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp., Brassicaceae) is a Peruvian crop cultivated high in the Andes mountains. Maca is cultivated for consumption of its hypocotyl and is used extensively for medicinal purposes. According to folk beliefs, Maca is an aphrodisiac which enhances sexual drive and female fertility in humans and domestic animals. The beliefs have been sustained by a various experiments in rats and in men. Maca has been reported to be rich in amino acids, glucosinolates and alkaloids macamides, which are probably responsible for the aphrodisiac effects and therefore they are the main quality markers in Maca. The nutritional value (relative contain of macamides, fatty acid composition and energetical value) of three samples of Maca of Peruvian origin was compared to one sample of Maca cultivated in Czech Republic.
