Maca is a tuber that grows in the mountains of Peru and Bolivia.

Sexual dysfunction describes a set of diseases that affect sexual life and can reduce your desire for sex or your ability to become sexually aroused. There are pathologies that affect sexual function, particularly: cardiovascular disease (hypertension and peripheral vascular disease), diabetes, prostate cancer, depression, and menopause, which, although not considered a pathology, does affect a woman's sexual life. Also, sexual function is affected by psychosocial factors, which are very important in women.

The origin of the extract is the plant Vicia faba L. which is a natural source of L-Dopa, precursor of a group of neurotransmitters called catecholamines (dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline). Catecholamines are related to basic systemic functions such as adaptation to stress, acting on the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory and muscular systems, and activating various metabolic pathways. Their function in the central nervous system is related to alertness, attention, concentration and stimulus processing, as well as mediating feelings of pleasure and reward.
