Traveling with Maca

Posted by The Maca Team on 17th Nov 2023

It’s the time of year when many people find themselves taking to the road (or the skies) to visit with friends and family in celebration of the season. While it’s always nice to see loved ones you haven’t gotten to spend time with in a while, travel also often means the disruption of routines that are important to maintaining your health - routines like diet and exercise. Who’s thinking about counting calories when there’s pumpkin pie on the table?

(Don’t count calories - that’s not healthy!)

What is healthy is sticking with your dedication to maca. And though traveling with a bag of powdered maca root is understandably daunting, we offer several options for maca products that are easy and convenient to travel with.

Maca Liquid Extract for Convenience

Our liquid maca extracts are made through a proprietary four-step process that condenses all the nutrients you’ll find in your maca powder into a mildly-flavored extract that’s made for your convenience. Our amber dropper bottles contain about two fluid ounces of maca, and are small enough that you can easily tuck them into a coat pocket or purse for your travel.

How do you enjoy your maca liquid extract? It can be as easy as adding a couple droppersful to your hot chocolate or morning coffee. We recommend holding a dropper’s worth of liquid extract beneath your tongue for about 30 seconds in order to let it absorb more easily. Liquid maca is overall quicker to absorb into the body than maca powder products, ensuring that you benefit from your dedication to your maca routine faster.

Maca Capsules on the Go

Many countries still restrict the amount of liquids you can pack into your carry-on, so if you’re worried about safely stashing a glass bottle in your checked bag, toting our maca capsules along for the journey is your best solution.

We always recommend our maca capsules for people who don’t care for the flavor of maca. It’s probably the easiest way to work maca into your diet, and it allows you to space your maca serving size throughout the day - for example, you might take two capsules in the morning and then two with lunch. Keep in mind that your maca serving size will depend on a number of factors, including your size and weight, so it’s important to have that figured out before you begin regularly consuming maca.

Give the Gift of Maca

Are you one of The Maca Team’s many happy regular customers? Our Maca Testimonials page highlights the many ways our buyers have benefited from our organic Peruvian maca! This superfood has been credited with helping people regulate their hormones, recover from strenuous workouts more easily, and even conceive children. If you know someone who could use a hand with these or any of the other reported positive associations of a maca regimen, consider giving the gift of maca this holiday season.

Our website lists many of the ways our maca products can help drastically improve your quality of life.

What’s the best way to gift maca to friends and family? Take a look at the pros and cons of each maca product, or cover your bases with one of our many maca sampler packs. We’re confident that your loved one will find a maca product that works for them.

Any Questions?

Enjoy the Day!

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

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

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

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 :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

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

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

This product is amazing!

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

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

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.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

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.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

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

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.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

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.

This is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

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.

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

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
