Maca is an herb and thus is  a permissible dietary ingredient
          for a dietary supplement,  as listed  in  the Definition of  Cer-
          tain  Foods  as Dietary Supplements,  in Section  3  of DSHEA
          (1994).  Maca is not a new ingredient (having been imported
          into U.S.  since 1994)  so no DSHEA Section 8 filling on a rea-
          sonable safety is required.We have seen reports that weight
          lifters and body builders have turned to Maca as a natural al-
          ternative to anabolic steroids, which are banned by the FDA.
