Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the nutritional components was analyzed in the dry powder of Lepidium meyenii.Walp., apharmaceutical and nutritional plant from South America. Its protein content reached 8.87%. And various anti-fatigue substancessuch as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), taurine and zinc were found present in the powder. Then the anti-fatigue effectsof dry maca powder were proved to be remarkable through animal experiments.

Key words: maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.), nutritional components, anti-fatigue
