What Is Maca 1:2 Alcohol-Free Extract?
Grown on some of the highest cultivated ground on earth, maca is a hardy Andean root prized as a traditional energy and vitality food. This 1:2 extract is prepared from the root of Lepidium meyenii, a Brassicaceae-family crop of the high Andes, and carried in glycerin as an alcohol-free base. Bio-Botanica supplies it full-spectrum and non-standardized, so energy and men's-wellness developers receive the root's complete naturally occurring profile in a concentrated, alcohol-free liquid.
Market Demand
Maca is a fixture of the adaptogen and vitality conversation, carried by consumer interest in natural energy and sexual-wellness formulas. That demand increasingly favors liquid and beverage formats over loose powder, and an alcohol-free 1:2 glycerin extract lets brands drop a recognizable Andean adaptogen straight into shots, tonics, and daily-wellness liquids.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin carrier suits energy shots, vitality tonics, dropper blends, and functional beverages, and it dilutes readily into syrups or stacked adaptogen liquids. Maca is traditionally associated with energy support, men's health, and sexual-health support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim — offering formulators a well-known story for performance and vitality lines.

Bio-Botanica, in family hands since 1972, extracts this root at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York with the low-heat Bio-Chelated process that preserves a Holistically Balanced range of naturally occurring constituents. Each batch clears identity, microbial, heavy-metal, and USP testing in an onsite lab built around HPLC and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification can be provided.
