THE PETZ KITCHEN,, RAW USDA ORGANIC BLACK MACA is a tuberous root that grows in the Andean Highland Mountains at altitudes of up to 15000 feet, under some of the most severe weather conditions found on the planet.

BLACK MACA has been qualified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most important complete and sustainable protein sources found on earth. Maca has a history of use for animals for over 3,000 years and has been widely researched for its nutritional and potential health benefits for dogs, cats, small animals and horses.

Because of the extremes in sun, wind and snow that BLACK MACA is exposed to, it produces a stunning array of over 55 natural phytochemicals, and represents one of the planet's truly sustainable and complete protein sources.

BLACK MACA is prized as a water and fat soluble super food and broad spectrum antioxidant power house, containing all essential bio-available amino acids, fatty acids, adaptogen actions, digestive enzymes, alkaloids, bio-available protein, vitamins, minerals, glucosinolates, polyphenols and sterols, making it an ideal health boosting addition to all life stage diets.

BLACK MACA has been attributed with potential health benefits related to helping enhance cognitive support and function and may help improve memory, including positive potential effects on reversing memory impairment.

BLACK MACA has demonstrated specific neuroprotective (brain protecting) actions including the potential to help improve memory impairment and cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's and dementia, related to its plant chemical content known asscopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist.

BLACK MACA is also a rare plant that is able to safely pass through the blood-brain barrier, a complex Central Nervous "gate keeping" system, charged with permitting or prohibiting access to both natural and synthetic constituents that could affect brain function.

Out of all the maca varietals, BLACK MACAhas been attributed with helping support healthyprostate function and may help limit prostate inflammation and may enhance fertility in male animals.

Further, BLACK MACAmay help build muscle mass and may help promote endurance and performance for working and performance dogs, as well as senior animals with declining energy. BLACK MACAhas also shown to help protect skin and coat from UV exposure.

BLACK MACA may possibly help stimulate, nourish and rebuild glandular tissues, important in conditional needs related to Cushing's, Addison's and diabetes, may help reduce metabolic stress, may help provide cognitive support and may help boost vitality.

Although other Maca varietals are more pronounced for their potential benefits related to endocrine function, BLACK MACA'sadaptogen plant content is used holistically to help improve your pet's resistance to metabolic, oxidative, physiological, biochemical, physical, emotional, environmental, immune, central nervous and neurological stress and dysfunction, due in part, to its alkaloid and amino and fatty acid content which may help nutritionally support the endocrine system.
