Premium Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca Additional Information

Premium gelatinized tri-color maca products are made from a blend of about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots.   Premium maca root products are carefully processed and pre-cooked to help activate some nutrients and remove starch content.  The result is a nutrition packed maca that is easy to digest.  premium-gelatinized-tri-color-maca-root-products.jpg

How Is Premium Tri-Color Maca Different?

Containing a blend of all 3 maca colors, we call these maca products “Heritage Harvest” because the tri-color mix is the way that people in the Andes have traditionally eaten maca. After select maca roots are harvested, they are immediately dried in large dehydrators and then “gelatinized.”   Gelatinization is a process in which maca is heated to high temperatures (160F / 70C). The heat causes the starch molecules in maca to irreversibly dissolve and the result is a powder that has had some of its nutrients compromised but is easier to digest than raw maca. It’s important to note that nothing is added to maca during the gelatinization process.

The advantages of using Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca products:

  • Easier digestion - because the starch is removed
  • More concentrated nutrients - the absence of starch means that gram for gram, Gelatinized Maca is more concentrated than Raw Maca

The disadvantage of using a Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca product is:

  •  Loss of some nutrients including enzymes and Vitamin C due to the heat used in gelatinization

Overview: Sundried vs. Premium Macasundried-vs.-premium-graphic-v.3-3.jpgIs Gelatinized Maca Right For You?

If you have a sensitive stomach or any other issue with digestion, then gelatinized maca root products are the best choice for you.   The reason is simple.  While raw maca can cause temporary symptoms like bloating, gas or upset stomach (in about 5% of people), gelatinized maca simply will not do so.  Our customers report similar benefits from gelatinized and raw maca powders, so if you are unsure, gelatinized maca may be a better choice for you.

Several researchers have studied tri-color maca and found that:

  • Maca stimulates improved athletic performance, including stamina and strength
  • Maca supports concentration, memory and overall brain function
  • Maca is nutrient dense with 60% carbohydrates, 12 crucial minerals, 10 vitamins, over 40 fatty and amino acids and 4 unique glucosinolates – a true superfood.
  • Maca has been used for over 2,000 years as a nutritionally dense superfood to promote endurance, vitality, fertility and libido in populations living at very high elevations.

 Based on this research and our experience with tri-color maca we recommend it for:

  • Men and women wanting to consume the traditional blend of Maca colors
  • Athletes, both men and women, looking for extra stamina and strength
  • Anyone looking to improve memory, concentration and focus skills with Maca
  • All people taking Maca to improve their bone strength and density

Premium gelatinized tri-color maca root powder (3 sizes)

Enjoying maca in powder form is the least expensive and most versatile way to add maca to your diet. Our premium gelatinized tri-color maca powder is very finely ground and mixes well into smoothies, drinks and other recipes.  It has a rich taste and a darker color than premium raw maca.  Note that the taste may be a bit stronger or spicier than standard maca powders.

Premium gelatinized tri-color maca root capsules

Our maca capsules are made from vegetable cellulose and therefore 100% vegan.  We fill our capsules in house and because of that we can be sure that they contain only 100% pure maca powder.   We never use fillers, flow-agents or additives of any kind.  Maca capsules are more expensive but they offer convenience and precision in serving size compared to maca powders.

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!

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

By Milt Thompson

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

By Joy

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.

By Mellissa Gage, Infinity and Beyond

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
