Maca Root: Traditional Use, Modern Dose
Maca root has grown in the high Andes of Peru for centuries, traditionally used as a food staple and valued for supporting stamina and vitality in daily life. It's one of the more recognizable names in the supplement world today, which also means it's one of the most exaggerated.
What's Actually In The Capsule
Tiger Formel uses a 5:1 maca root extract at 700 mg per day, which corresponds to roughly 3.5 grams of raw root — a meaningful, traditional-range amount rather than a token sprinkle.
No Approved EU Claim — And Why That's Fine
Like the other plant extracts in the formula, maca doesn't currently carry an approved EU health claim, so we list it as an ingredient with its declared amount rather than attaching a specific promise to it. That's a legal and honesty distinction, not a comment on maca's long history of traditional use.
How People Typically Use It
Maca is taken as part of a daily routine rather than as a one-off. In Tiger Formel it's combined with zinc, selenium, vitamin C, L-arginine, L-citrulline, and OPC-rich grape seed and pine bark extracts as part of a broader daily formula, rather than standing alone.
