Vitamins: B1, B2, and C.
Vitamin B1 helps the body's cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It
is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and
nervous system.
B2 works in concert with the other B vitamins. It is important for body
growth and red cell production, and helps in releasing energy from
carbohydrates.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is involved in oxidation-reduction reactions.
Other vitamins: Niacin, B6, D3, P
Alkaloids: 4 novel alkaloids: macaina 1, 2, 3, and 4. These are
responsible for activating hormone regulators located in the brain that
in turn regulate the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the blood.
Macronutrients: Essential vitamins and
minerals, nutritive properties help convalescent people or patients who
are diagnosed with anemia.
Proteins: Rich in bio-available maca proteins
with an average of 11% per gram in the dry root.
Micronutrients: Minerals which help with the
production of antibodies.
Fiber: Loaded with cellulose and lignin which
stimulate intestinal operations. Investigators claim fibers such as
these diminishes the risk of cancer of the large intestine by helping
the organism eliminate waste and toxins produced within the body.
Carbohydrates: Rich in quality carbs; combined
with the alkaloids and other nutrients is the source for sustainable
energy.
Tannins: Useful in treatment of diarrhea.
Combined with other medicines, it has the utility of treating
inflammatory processes like ulcers, sores, etc.
Fatty Acids: Contains over 20 fatty acids
Amino Acids
Sodium: Along with potassium, it was
discovered that an increase in the daily diet of the sodium-potassium
relation helps reduce arterial pressure/ hypertension. Nevertheless, an
excessive increase of this relation could give rise to a diminution of
the susceptibility to the bascule-cerebral accidents that do not depend
on arterial pressure.

Calcium: Higher concentrations
of calcium than in milk; indispensible for the nerves and circulatory
system and the formation of bones, teeth, and vital heart functions.
Bismuth: Known to participate in the
processing against gastritis caused by bacteria.
Potassium: Participates in the regulation of
osmotic pressure; its activity is carried out inside the cells.
Copper: The probable participant in the
formation of hemoglobin. Lack of copper can greatly decrease the amount
of essential enzymes for the organism.
Zinc: Serves as a cofactor of dehydrogenises
and carbonic anhydrite; its lack can cause skin rashes, taste
disturbances, and mental lethargy.
Fructose: A sugar used by the seminal plasma
for the production of semen/ or spermatozoa.
Phosphorus: Regulates the transmission of
neuromuscular chemicals and electrical stimuli. Important for the
hemostasis of calcium and the reactions of lipids, carbohydrates, and
proteins. The body's chemical energy is stored in phosphate compounds.
Iron: Vital component of hemoglobin and
certain respiratory enzymes. Increased iron intake is important during
excessive menses and other instances of blood loss. Deficiency results
in anemia, poor growth or difficult pregnancies.
Manganese: In an experimental diet of this
element, results demonstrated that it induced growth in animals.
Starch: Calcium and iron, forming chemical
compounds that influence the nutrition and health of the consumer.
Silicon: Helps the connective tissues,
including the aorta, trachea, tendons, bones, and skin.
Magnesium: Essential for protein synthesis,
and activities of muscles and nerves. Deficiency of quality magnesium
can cause changes in heart and skeletal muscles.
