These customers describe how maca has remained part of their routines over time, along with what keeps them returning.
“I’ve been getting my maca root from the Maca Team for several years now. Most recently focusing on premium black marker. I feel that it gives the best results for my needs. I definitely can tell the difference when I run out and don’t renew my supply in a timely manner. It gives me energy, stamina, mental focus and drive. Which for an over 60 guy it’s very helpful. I take it every morning with my protein drink. Without fail. If I know I’m going to be particularly physically active in the afternoon I will take another tablespoon full with a glass of water so I can continue with my stamina and endurance and strength. It’s easy and efficient and effective. Love it.”
— Steve Haig
“I don’t even know where to start! I love Maca and the results it’s given me are noticeably different in my energy and mood. I felt it within the first week and I will never ever stop taking this amazing root powder! I’ve tried all of them, and for me personally, I get the best results from the original yellow Maca version. The Maca Team and it’s website is the best. Great customer service and I’ve never had a problem. The quality is better and the prices are much lower than anything you can find in the stores. I’ll be a customer for life!!”
— Judy
“Have been using maca tricolor for several years with great results helps me recover from working out. When I saw maca blue was on sale decided to give it a try glad I did almost immediately could feel a boost in energy when I add to my tricolor after my workout, at 68 years young it does seem to make a noticeable impact on my recovery time! Highly recommend this company’s product have always been shipped quickly arrive in excellent condition over the years I have used this company always been an excellent outcome.”
— Scott
“I have used maca on and off for about 10yrs. I feel better when I am taking it, and I guess the closest description I can use is, balanced. I don’t crave chocolate or sweets when I am taking maca regularly. To put it in some perspective, when I’m not taking maca regularly I can do some serious damage to a party size box of Oreos. I have taken red and black maca separately in the past, but currently I feel that the tri-color is an awesome balance of the maca’s. I put it in breakfast smoothies for my husband and myself. I find the breakfast smoothie to be the easiest way to make sure it’s taken every day.”
— A. Rose
“I ordered the Premium Maca for myself and a friend. I have been using Maca for 10 years and have noticed an improvement with the Premium Maca. More energy and better sleep. My friend also enjoyed great results since using this Maca.”
— Roxanne Yadao
“I’ve been ordering maca products from the Maca Team for several years, and have recently been able to share the benefits with a family member. He was suffering from low energy and feeling lethargic halfway through the work day, but after just a week of taking the black maca product, he feels better able to get through the work day with sustained energy. I personally take the red maca and can’t live without it. Even beyond the physical benefits, the Maca Team has excellent customer service and communication with them is always easy.”
— Catrice Harris
“Male 56. I used an ok Maca supplement years ago and for whatever reason got away from it . Remembering the benefits and wanting to resume I had the great fortune of stumbling upon The Maca Team! They have provided excellent customer service with regard to regards to orders and shipping and the black Maca extract performs better than any Maca supplement I’ve ever used. I’m experiencing markedly higher output in all workouts, cardio, weights , swims while perceived level of exertion is noticeably less. Body composition is changing too. Definitely getting leaner. I mix BME drops in morning coffee with coconut and small dab of butter. I cannot taste it at all. I have to think from my experience they are sourcing the best Maca available. Thanks so much Maca Team!”
— Reid Fady

“I’ve been taking Red Maca for a few weeks. Mix it with 4-5 oz of water and drink it plain, empty stomach. Love it. Has a smokey, unique taste which takes a little getting used to but I just chug a lug it down. I noticed within days the steady energy it gave me. I’m used to taking a quick nap after lunch and since Maca I just haven’t felt the let down of energy after eating. I feel good about taking it and like thinking I’m making my insides happy too.”
— Bev
“Initially I bought the red maca powder for my shakes. Then started solely on The Morning Motivator. Love love love the taste! And saw results almost immediately. Definitely a mood “uplifter” and may body feels energized but warm and fuzzy… lol .. I drink it sometimes twice a day (even at night). I’ve recommended it to all my friends. Lifetime supporter for sure!!”
— Lisanne
