ATHLETES

Sports performance is not decided at training alone. It is decided in recovery — what happens between sessions, between competitions. That is where the body rebuilds, repairs and adapts. And that is where many athletes lose ground without knowing it.

MACA³ and GATO³ were paired to answer this precise logic. MACA³ combines the three Andean Maca varieties — yellow, red and black — recognised for endurance, cellular energy production and effort resistance. Andean high plateau communities have consumed it for millennia in the most demanding contexts: altitude farming, long marches, intense physical work at -10°C.

Cat's Claw brings the other side of the equation. Uña de Gato is one of the best-documented Amazonian plants for recovery, joint balance and natural defences. For athletes who train regularly, it is a plant science is taking very seriously — notably for action on post-effort inflammatory markers.

Together, they let you go further in training and come back faster. Not by forcing the body — by giving it the resources to do its work properly.

Certified organic MACA³. GATO³ in vegetable capsules. Sourced directly from Peru. 90 capsules per jar for a complete cure.

Available data clarifies what each plant brings. For Maca, the Stone trial (2009, Journal of Ethnopharmacology) documents improved 40 km time and sprint power in trained cyclists after 14 days of supplementation. The identified mechanism involves the endocannabinoid system: macamides inhibit FAAH, increasing circulating anandamide, which reduces perceived effort at equal intensity.

For Cat's Claw, Piscoya et al. (2001, Inflammation Research) documented significant reduction in articular inflammatory markers after 4 weeks — relevant for athletes accumulating high training loads on knees, hips and ankles.

Documented protocol: MACA³ in the morning with breakfast, GATO³ with any meal. No associated dietary restriction. Observed timeline: 2 to 4 weeks for Cat's Claw, 4 to 6 weeks for Maca. A 90-day cure covers a full adaptation cycle.
