I-Macaamide ikhishwa kakhulu ezimpandeni ze-Maca. Izimpande ze-Maca ziqukethe izithako ezihlukahlukene ze-bioactive, okuhlanganisa i-macaamide, i-macaene, i-sterols, i-phenolic compounds, nama-polysaccharides. I-Macaamide iyinhlanganisela yemvelo enezinhlobonhlobo zezinzuzo zezempilo ezingaba khona, ikakhulukazi ezikhishwe ezimpandeni ze-Maca, futhi inamathemba abanzi okusetshenziswa kwezithako zokudla okunomsoco, ukudla okusebenzayo, izimonyo, kanye nocwaningo lwezemithi.
