Maca Gold is a brand of health food supplements based around the highly nutritious Maca root vegetable from the Andean Plateau of Peru. Maca Gold was founded by David Anfield who imported Maca from Peru during the late 1990s for his own use in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The Maca root is rich in minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. Due to its high demand, many Maca supplement producers use Maca grown at relatively low altitudes of between 9,000 and 11,000 feet. However, research has shown that Maca grown below altitudes of 12,500 feet did not have as much nutritional content as those grown above that altitude. Consequently, Maca Gold products only use Maca grown in a Peruvian Valley situated at 14,300 feet. This ensures that all Maca Gold products are as beneficial and nutritionally rich as possible.
