One of the most common questions we receives is: "What is the best Maca for menopause relief?" While all colors of Maca have similar properties, we've seen from years of experience that Red Maca overall works better for menopause relief than the other Maca colors of Black and Yellow.
Red Maca products are made from reddish colored Maca roots. These roots can range in color from light pink to dark red as you can see from this photo:
Maca products made from Red Maca roots typically taste a bit sweeter than Black and Yellow Maca products. In addition, Red Maca has been shown to have somewhat higher phytonutrient content than the other Macas, including alkaloids that are linked to hormone balance. Research is ongoing into why Red Maca is more effective when it comes to relieving the symptoms of Menopause.. We suspect that it has something to do with higher levels of nutrients found on the Red Maca roots. We have a full article on Red Maca here if you are interested in more details on Red Maca in general.
At The Maca Team we offer Red Maca Products in Raw and Precooked (Gelatinized versions)
Raw Red Maca is not heated during processing, which preserves the maximum amount of nutrients possible. It is available in Powder and Capsules.
Gelatinzied Red Maca is pre-cooked during a process which removes most of the starch content in the product. This makes it easier to digest. We recommend it for anyone who has a sensitive digestion. It is also available in Powder and Capsules.
Red Maca Extract is another easy way to get Maca into your life. Ours is a vegetable glycerine based extract that tastes sweet and is easy to take. Some of our customers take it instead of powder or capsules, while others take it in addition when using Maca for menopause relief.
It's important to remember that Maca is a food and not a supplement or even an herb. It is meant to be added to your daily diet. For that reason we have lots of great Maca Recipes that you can use to incorporate Maca powder into your life. If you don't like the taste of Maca or want added convenience you may like to take Maca capsules or the Red Maca extract instead.
If you are interested in more details on how Maca supports overall hormone health and relief from the symptoms of Menopause we have a couple of more extensive articles you can read.
And as always, if you have any questions or doubts on the Best Maca for Menopause, we are happy to help. As a small, family run company totally focused on Maca, we are honored to be able to share the powerful benefits of Maca with women like you all over the world.
Enjoy your day!
I shop around a lot for my supplements and health foods, and I have to say you guys at The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace. Thanks for all you do!

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting . I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly. I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

First I would like to say I love this product. I was very skeptical about a natural product with so many benefits but this stuff really works. Second, I love this company. From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.
By Mellissa Gage, Infinity and Beyond
I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!
By Olga
I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
