Customer Comments – Maca for Mental Focus, Memory & Concentration

"This product really works, helps me deal with everyday tasks. I feel more focused, bright and better controlling situation." - Mariusz

"I'm obsessed with Maca Team's black maca powder! Since I started adding it to my morning smoothie, I've noticed a huge boost in energy and mental clarity. The taste is subtle and earthy, and I love that it's packed with antioxidants and adaptogenic properties. It's become a staple in my daily routine, and I've even noticed improvements in my workouts and overall mood. Highly recommend giving it a try - you won't regret it!" - Anthony Pena

"My daughter told me about maca powder when I expressed my concern about not being as in control of my memory and thought processes. Since Alzheimer's disease runs in my family, I try to do whatever I can to remain as sharp as possible for as long as possible. My daughter found The Maca Team's website and ordered a 1 lb. bag of the Black Gelatinized Maca. After taking it every day for a couple of weeks, I began to notice that I seldom was unable to call up a word I needed to complete a sentence and I just felt sharper. I've been using it ever since, and just ordered the larger 2.2 lb. bag. I know this will be a daily part of my diet for life. Plus, I love the taste of it: kind of a mild peanut butter taste. I recommend this to everyone who wants to take a preventative path toward a life long healthy brain, as well as, anyone who is already experiencing memory and thought problems." - Margaret Hughes

"My son has Cerebral Palsy and hates school with a passion. He gets very 'nervous' and goes into sensory overload. Kindergarten was a nightmare from day 1. I decided to try maca to see if that would help this for first grade. He still doesn’t love school. Third week in though, and I haven’t been called to the school. No episodes so far. My fingers remain crossed. I think the maca is helping him cope." - Laura Monroe

"The convenience of the extract is great. It’s a premium value for a Non-US resident due to low shipping costs. I have noticed mental clarity, quicker recovery time after exercise and a general strengthening of my body. My energy level seems more consistent throughout the day and I have sounder sleep. My general sense of well-being is better. I know over time more good changes will come. Thanks for a great product." - N/A

"I have so much more energy and clarity at work. I've seen a change in my attitude at work and that love of working with my students has returned. I'm looking forward to trying the other maca powders as well." - LeeAnne

"I have been using all three colors of maca for at least 5 years. It improves cognitive abilities and increases energy levels and stamina. The best part there is no chemicals involved. I will be using maca forever I don't think there are any side effects. The benefits are worth the money." - Larry

"The premium maca powder is truly vigorous on the physical and mental levels. Just minutes after ingestion on an empty stomach you can feel its vital power working and coursing through your veins, resulting in a more awakened state of mind. It's truly a blessing. Thank you for providing such a high-quality product." - Eli Chadwick

"I’ve taken maca for about 2 years and love it. It helps a lot in the sexual area and also the following. I work in the engineering field, on computers most of the time, and tend to go 'brain dead' late in the day. Maca stopped that instantly. My brain doesn’t get tired anymore and that has several values to me. I am sharper at work, suffer less and can stay alert for the drive home after work." - Rich Warren (age 61)

"I started taking maca two months ago, after a few weeks I noticed I just felt better. I’m 60 and I feel like I have more energy. I also seemed to have more of an alert feeling or mental clarity, without any jitters. It does improve libido. I ordered some for my husband, who is 64, and has always been very active. We recently had several trees that needed to be cut down, he chopped wood for 2 days and contributed it to the maca, saying he hasn’t been able to work like that in 10 years. We will keep ordering it. The Maca Team has been very helpful." - Julie

"I'm taking Black Root Premium and Raw Yellow. It took about four days before I noticed a difference. I manage a company with a dozen employees and working anywhere from 12–14-hour days. At the end of the day, I would be mentally drained with not much left for the wife and kids. I'm about a month into taking this product and my quality of life has improved tremendously!! Working the same amount with tons of energy left at the end of the day. I have noticed a mental crispness in recalling information in meetings, communicating with employees and engaging with customers. I'm also an ultra-runner and wish I would have found this product earlier this year. During the training season I log 70-80 miles per week and I'm always trying to improve recovery time. In the off season it’s only 30-40 miles per week and I've noticed less soreness the next day after a long run. To anyone out there looking for a natural edge to stay focused, be more efficient and increase their energy... buy this product!! At 43 years old, it's a game changer for me." - Wilton Leak

"Noticeable increase in bodily stamina and endurance, I can do anything more without fatigue after having been taking 7-10 capsules a day for a few days. Increase libido, feeling of overall physical and mental 'power' difficult to describe but it’s a good feeling, I have no doubt that it’s not accident they call maca a 'superfood', especially this black type, excellent and does what it says it does while being completely safe and non-toxic." - Nomad R.C.

"Great for supermom. I have been using red maca from your range for approximately two months and have found my energy levels have improved significantly. My mental health is also better, as I find the product puts me in a good state of mind through the day. I have two little children and I work full time as a news anchor for a television network. My life is very busy and I have found since using red maca powder daily, I am able to get through each day much better than I could prior to using maca powder. The product gives me the hit of caffeine, without a racing heart. This is great for a person prone to anxiety, like me. The only issue I've had since using red maca powder is that it has worsened my menstrual cramping, with sharp pain on day one of my period. Overall, I am really happy with this product and I feel really grateful to the person who told me to buy it directly from your company. Thank you for your wonderful product, fast delivery to Australia, and great after sale service. I will definitely be back. Thank you!" - Helen

"I am a night shift nurse who is going back to school (burning the candle at both ends, my doctor said) and was having trouble with overwhelming fatigue (sleep deprivation), poor concentration and poor memory. In my line of work, that is not acceptable. My doctor suggested maca powder. I tried some that I had bought locally and found that it worked to improve my symptoms. Trying to do things good for myself and the planet, I searched for organic sources of this powder. That is when I tried The Maca Team organic red maca. Not only is this maca superior to what I had bought locally, it is certified organic so I am happy not be getting any pesticides or any other non-organic additives. Using this powder, I have clearer mental focus, more energy, and as an added benefit, increased sex drive. This product is not a replacement for taking good care of yourself through proper sleep, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, but it sure can enhance efforts towards personal well-being. The only downfall is that too much may cause sensations of heart palpitations. It is a wonderful product that is little known in the traditional medical field." - Lu

"This is some excellent maca! I recently discovered maca in my search for remedies to calm my nerves after law school. I find this maca does much to both calm me down and give me good, stable energy throughout the day. Also, libido is through the roof at this point. I believe I’ve tried all the different maca powder products from this company, I’d say the gelatinized and the premium are my favorite. Another thing I noticed is that, after some weeks of maca supplementation, I have had a restoration of what feels like a 'healthy competitive spirit.' After law school burnout, I felt very lackadaisical and 'bleh', but I now enjoy participating in competitive activities like I used to before academic burnout. Thank you for your quality products!" - JR

"I find that black maca really helps me find my center and calm after a stressful day. It gives me a little boost of energy in the evening hours. Although I usually use it during the nighttime to unwind - I have also found it to be helpful in keeping sharp when I burn the midnight oil. In addition, it helps me sleep more soundly through the night. Occasionally, I use it after gardening work that strains the lower back as well. This is a Jing tonic, and is a great herb/superfood for kidney/adrenal health." - Cameron

"Great product. The black maca capsules give me great energy and focus. Combined with all the benefits of maca I highly recommend this product. It increases libido and helps with stress and anxiety." - Tom

"Prior to taking this product, I always feel tired especially during night time. After taking this product for around 3 weeks, I noticed energy levels and focus ability have increased significantly and no longer feel tired easily. I will recommend this product to anyone who need boast in energy." - Leon

"This is my 2nd order for this raw organic black maca powder. I enjoy the boost in energy levels and mental alertness when I take it first thing on an empty stomach in the morning." - G.T.

"I've seen some great improvements in my sleep, memory and mood since I started taking this. Thank you so much for such a quality product!"

"I can hardly believe what a difference this maca has done for me. I notice a boost in energy and concentration I haven't been able to find with other supplements. I have tried other brands of maca, but this is the first that I could digest without difficulty in the dosages I find I need to feel the effects." - Edith Perry

"I just love my maca! I'm 66, and suffered a mild stroke a year ago... I was suffering from 'brain fog' and fatigue. The maca has given me energy and cleared a great deal of my mental sluggishness. I recommend it to all my friends and have several family members trying it out also." - Sabina Gogol

"I've been taking maca capsules (usually 8, in the am) for a month. I've noticed an increase in focus and retention. My energy level is high to begin with (I follow a paleo lifestyle), but I think the maca has slightly improved that as well... I'm a 52-year-old man. I'm 6 foot and weigh 168 lbs. I would recommend this product, as it is affordable." - Chris Garland

"I love the gelatinized black maca's effect on my physical and mental stamina. Focusing on present tasks is much easier and the length of time doesn’t seem to expire. My libido is supercharged as well! The best thing currently is that I'm recovering from knee surgery and I am healing very rapidly. I can't attribute this solely but I know it’s helping and not hurting the process." - Memphis R Dickey

"I have been using the product for more than one week. Really good stuff. Arrived earlier than expected. Increases energy, libido, improves mood and focus. At moment it looks like it is something I will want to stick to for the rest of my life. Good value for your money as well. Thinking about buying this for my brother as a Christmas present. So, thank you very much The Maca Team." - George

"I haven't made it a habit to take them so far, because I don't know if I want to take it before I work out or when I wake up. The times I have taken them I do feel more energy, concentration and improve in performance. I have given my boyfriend some and he said he felt alert and awake. I love everything about the product, shipping, info card, container, organic and vegan friendly. I love maca!" - Daisy

"Each morning, I mix a tablespoon of maca root, usually red, into my first cup of coffee, in place of milk. It wipes away any lingering morning clogged or headache feeling leaving a very clear fresh mentally alert start to the day. I have found it boosts energy making it tough to choose an off day from it. Since I'm in good health I cannot boast of any ailment it removes although I firmly believe it does all the beneficial things it is touted to do." - R.L.

"I use the yellow maca and love how I feel. My recall memory is much sharper, my energy level is outstanding and my mood is much more even on a daily basis. I am 66 years old and honestly won't go without this awesome product." - Christine Lawson

"I've been getting my maca root from The Maca Team for several years now. Most recently focusing on premium black maca. 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

"Very digestible, noticed a difference in energy and mental focus/inspiration within a couple days — wonderful product!" - Sarica

"My husband (65) and I (62) both take this Tri-Color maca powder, it's been 1 month now and we noticed a difference in the first week or 2. Our focus is sharper and the energy levels are incredible. We only take 1 tsp each day in the morning. We have been adding it to a drink we have been drinking since 2020. 1 Tbsp of high-quality olive oil, 1 Tbsp of juice from a lemon and 1 Tbsp of local honey in 6-8 ozs of warm water and the results have been rewarding. We are very blessed to have ran across this product. The company is right on making sure everything is OK and even sends updates, sales and articles to read by emails, very helpful and kind company. Don't ever change except to better yourselves. THANK YOU, MACA TEAM." - Karen

"I have been very pleased with your product. It has improved my energy, productivity and focus tremendously! I started out by using the powder but had to switch to the pills. The powder was a bit too strong for my stomach. I have since ordered some for a friend and they love it as well. I have told many people about the maca and how it could help them. I have given out the brochures that I received with my orders. I will continue to order more... amazing product!" - Lisa Gray

"I first bought the red maca and then tried the black. My husband and I both take it in the morning mixed in a blender with plain yogurt and frozen raspberries or blueberries. Improves stamina, energy and concentration. Love the product and will continue purchasing it." - J.F.
