Black Maca Extract 20:1 – Andean tradition, in a concentrated version
Black Maca Extract (20:1) 500mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made from black maca.
We’ve crafted a concentrated extract that combines the black root, the richest part in key compounds, with the quality of a clean label formula by HSN. Each capsule equals 10 grams of dried maca root, with a broad profile that respects the plant’s natural complexity.
It condenses the ancestral richness of Andean maca into a practical, top-quality format.
HSN’s black maca
One of the most exclusive varieties
Among macas, the black variety is highly valued for its link to supporting normal sexual performance and energy in both men and women. Its intense color reflects a higher density of phenolic compounds and alkaloids that concentrate its overall effect.
A 20:1 extract
Each veggie capsule contains an extract that condenses 20 parts of root into 1. That means a single 500mg dose equals 10 grams of dried black maca. A high concentration for a more comfortable and practical way to use it.
Root: the heart of maca’s compounds
We only use the root of Lepidium meyenii to make our extract, since it’s the part richest in phytonutrients. No leaves or stems, guaranteeing a full profile of characteristic phytonutrients, which are mainly responsible for maca’s traditional properties.

A plant with a millenary history
Maca originally comes from the Peruvian Andes, where it’s been cultivated for over 2,000 years. It was considered a sacred food ideal for harsh high-altitude conditions. Black maca, in particular, was reserved for warriors and people with high responsibilities due to its connection with sexuality and physical energy.
Today, black maca still holds a place in dietary supplementation, in a more concentrated and functional, less traditional form.
