Maca Root 3000mg UK – Maca Me Happy + Zinc 90 Caps

3000mg of maca root per capsule — the equivalent weight from extract — with ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng, ginger, L-arginine, damiana leaf, organic black pepper and zinc at 50% NRV, which carries the authorised claims.

Zinc Does the Regulated Work

Maca is the name on the label and by far the largest ingredient, but no authorised health claim exists for maca in the UK or EU. What is regulator-assessed here is the zinc, at 5mg (50% NRV):

• Contributes to normal fertility and reproduction
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood
• Contributes to normal DNA and protein synthesis, normal cognitive function, normal immune function, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal acid-base and carbohydrate metabolism, and the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails, skin and vision

Those first two are the reason the formula is built the way it is — they are among the few authorised claims in this category, and they belong to zinc, not to the botanicals.

What Maca Actually Is

Lepidium meyenii is a root vegetable native to the high Peruvian Andes, grown at altitudes where few crops survive. Here it is supplied as a concentrated extract at 3000mg equivalent weight per capsule, which is a substantial dose for a single capsule and thirty times the ginkgo or ginseng content.

How Other UK Maca Supplements Compare

Plain maca capsules — single ingredient, lower dose. Widely available, often 500mg to 1500mg of powder rather than concentrated extract, with no supporting botanicals or zinc.

Maca powder — cheap, strong flavour. Inexpensive per gram but has a distinctive malty, earthy taste that many people dislike in drinks.

Men's wellness blends — broad, rarely halal. Often combine maca with tribulus or ashwagandha, usually without halal approval and frequently with proprietary blends that hide the doses.

Is This You?

• You want maca at 3000mg equivalent rather than the 500–1500mg typical of plain capsules
• You want zinc for normal fertility, reproduction and testosterone levels — authorised claims, not marketing
• You've tried maca powder and disliked the strong malty taste
• You want ginkgo, ginseng, L-arginine and damiana included rather than bought separately
• You need halal and kosher approved — men's wellness blends rarely carry either
