The legend

"During the height of the Incan empire, Incan warriors reputedly consumed maca before entering into battle to make them fiercely strong. But after conquering a city the Incan soldiers were prohibited from using maca, to protect the conquered women from their powerful sexual impulses. From as far back as five hundred years ago, maca’s reputation for enhancing strength, libido and fertility was already well established in Peru. " (Source: medicinehunter.com/peruvian-power-plant)
