Why People Use Maca for Sleep, Relaxation & Nighttime Balance

• Many people take maca to help reduce night awakenings, support more stable sleep cycles, and ease the return to sleep.
• Some customers notice improvements in next-day energy, mood stability, and overall resilience when sleep quality improves.
• Available in powders, capsules, and liquid extracts that are easy to add to morning or afternoon routines without causing jitters.

Customer Comments & Sleep Testimonials

"Started 1 teaspoon daily and now 2 teaspoons, ease of ability to return to sleep following waking has improved, and now and then I feel it's improving something downstairs for me. I like the product and would like to next try the Black. Would also like to try a combination of red and black." - Dennis Gard

"I'm taking these supplements for insomnia and related anxiety. Takes 3 months to kick in which makes sense as I’ve had insomnia my whole adult life." Rudy Ferrara

"This is my third shipment of these magical maca capsules. I started with powder, and moved to convenient capsules. I couldn’t be happier with the natural health benefits this root has provided. I'm fifty-two years old, and maca has helped w libido, hormone balancing, better sleep, and less anxiety in general. My wife and i both take maca daily, and recommend this root to everyone!" - Brian Barszcz

"I've been taking maca powder religiously for a couple of months now. I started with adding the black maca powder to my morning protein drink and added the maca drops daily for about 3 weeks now. I have metabolic syndrome and sleep apnea and have felt like crap for so long. That said, I've been slowly climbing out of what has seemed like hell. I can't say definitively that maca is the reason but it is very coincidental. I feel so good after my drink in the morning and drops in the afternoon. I've had enough energy to slowly add exercise back into my busy schedule. Again, I'm not saying with absoluteness that maca is the reason but I feel very strongly it is. My suggestion is to try it. I went with the black maca and I'm happy with it and I'm getting ready to buy more." - Jeff

"My husband and I have been using a combo of both the gelatinized red and black maca. We take approximately 1 Tb of each mixed with almond milk. Do this 4 or 5 mornings a week. We both notice that our energy is more consistent throughout the day and we are both sleeping better at night. Also less brain fog. I definitely have an increase in sex drive as well (my hubby is very happy about that.' - M.L.

"I've been sleeping a little better and I attribute it to the blue maca." Belinda

"I’ve been using this product for three years and love it! I feel more energetic, sleep better and look forward to exercising and being outside every day! My hormones are balanced and, at age 68 my friends cannot believe how good my skin looks and how much energy I have!" Jeanne

"Heard that Maca helps to improve sleep. Bought the Yellow Maca and gave it a try. Has been sleeping like a baby ever since the first day I took it. No more vivid dreams and tiredness when I wake up. In fact, I think the sleep quality has improved so much that I came to wake up around 6am naturally bright and clear, where as I used to wake up at 7:30am still feeling sleepy. The taste of Maca is not bad at all. For me, I prefer to take it in the morning with some chicken/beef broth. I think the taste goes better with savory food, rather than the usual sweet recommendations like smoothie or coffee. Bought the 1 kg packet, and I only take 1 teaspoon per day as per my weight recommendations on the label, which will last me for 6 months. Very good deal. Will definitely buy again." R.J.

"Maca has completely changed my sleep cycle. The very first day I took a teaspoon of maca is the best night of sleep I've had in over fifteen years. I was skeptical of the immediate response but also entirely grateful. I was used to sleeping for 2-3 hours, then awake for 3-5 and trying to catch a nap during the day. It's been about two months now taking the raw yellow maca and, with the exception of full-moon nights, I'm sleeping SO MUCH better. Placebo effect? Don't know and don't care. All that matters is that I'm sleeping and all evidence points to the properties of this crazy little root vegetable! I just wanted to share my experience in case it would be helpful to someone else. Thank you to the Maca Team for bringing this vegetable product to the US." - J.I.

"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

"This is my favorite kind of maca so far. I have tried one other brand but personally I like this one the best and I have recommended it to other people as well. I get faster results. I was suffering from insomnia which caused depression, fatigue, anxiety and weight loss. This has helped me gain more stamina, a better mood, and helped me gain my weight back. Thank you, Maca Team. Thank you very much." - Susy

"I love this product. I make a banana smoothie with Orange juice and old fashioned Quaker Oats. I then add a spoon of the MACA morning Motivator. It has become a morning and afternoon meal. I am energized during the day time and sleep well at night." - Walter Jord

"I have narcolepsy and was looking for ways to mitigate my symptoms without medication or caffeine. I am having great results with a combination of fasting in the AM, MCT oil, and maca root powder in my smoothies! I have found maca to be very beneficial in sustaining my energy and alertness through the day!" -Megan Bolz

"I was taking Maca for 3 months from another company before finding The Maca Team. I felt benefits the very first day taking my new Maca, and realized that I was taking a weak dosage from the other company all along. I'm hoping the Maca will help with egg health and infertility (won't know for a few more months) but the benefits I felt the very first day include: INCREASED ENERGY. I often was taking naps in the middle of my day and for the first time in a long while, I did not feel the need to nap. QUALITY SLEEP. I also slept so soundly. For the past few years, I have woken up during the night on average between 2-8 times per night. First night and every night on Maca? I didn't wake up once. I even snored the entire first week. I awoke so energized, no need to press snooze. REDUCED STIFFNESS IN JOINTS. I notice that my knees, ankles and sometimes my back all take a while to "warm up" if I have been in one position for a while. The next morning after my first day of Maca, I immediately noticed that my ankles did not hurt nearly as much when going down the stairs first thing out of bed. I also have an injury/stiffness to my right ankle from an aerobics video that had been hurting me for a few weeks and it instantly felt better with taking this Maca as well. All of these benefits lasted for the 4 or 5 weeks it took to go through my first canister of Maca. I take 8 per day" - A.B.

"Love the liquid maca extract as it is convenient and easy to use. Most importantly it is effective and provides me with good energy and stamina throughout the day. I also noticed that I sleep better at night. Great product! Will continue to it as part of my daily health regime." -Shirley

"Best Maca product I've tried so far. Really noticed a rise in my energy levels for the entire day. Been sleeping better as well. Haven't had a chance to test out the bedroom attributes yet but that's coming soon(no pun intended lol)!" - Norm
