Viridian Organic Maca High Strength Root Extract (60 Capsules)

Maca is one of those traditional plants that has earned its space in modern supplement routines through sheer consistency. It's grown high in the Peruvian Andes, where it has been a food and traditional tonic for thousands of years. People take it for steady daily energy, stamina, and routine support through busy life stages.

Viridian's Organic Maca is a high-strength root extract, not raw maca powder. That distinction matters and we'll get to why.

What it is

A 60-capsule bottle of organic Maca (Lepidium meyenii) root extract, concentrated, in capsule form. Soil Association organic. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. No fillers, no synthetic carriers, no flavourings.

Why an extract rather than a powder

Maca powder is the traditional format. It works, but you generally need a heaped tablespoon every day, and the taste is earthy in a way that some people get on with and some really don't. An extract concentrates the active compounds so you can take a measured capsule dose instead of stirring powder into a smoothie every morning.

It's the right format for people who'd rather take maca than make it part of breakfast prep.

Who takes it

Maca is popular with:

• Active adults wanting a steady daily energy and stamina routine
• Midlife men and women navigating shifts in energy, sleep and mood
• People building an adaptogen routine and wanting a traditional, well-known starting point
• Anyone who already drinks coffee and wants a non-caffeine, non-stimulant routine product alongside it
• Vegetarians and vegans

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on prescription medication or have a hormone-related medical condition, please speak to your GP or a qualified practitioner before adding maca to your routine.

Why Viridian

Viridian is a UK family-run brand with a 20-plus-year track record of organic, ethical, additive-free products. The maca is organic, the source is stated, and the dose is high enough to actually do something rather than acting as label theatre.

We carry the Viridian range in full at LSC because customers ask for it in the shop and online. It's the brand we recommend when someone wants a clean-label version of a botanical they'd otherwise have to guess at.

How to take it

One capsule daily with food, or as directed by a practitioner. A 60-capsule bottle gives you two months at one a day, which is roughly the timeframe to fairly judge any adaptogen routine.

Like most adaptogens, consistency matters more than dose. Take it every morning with breakfast and it disappears into your routine. Take it on and off and you won't really know what it's doing.

What pairs with it

Maca sits well alongside a standard daily mineral routine (magnesium, zinc, vitamin D), a B-complex for energy metabolism, and good sleep. B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Browse the Energy & Focus goal collection, the Botanicals & Adaptogens range, and the Men's Health and Women's Health pages depending on what you're building.
