"First, delivery was SO fast. Not expecting that. Second, the smell and taste for me are awful. I did the 1st day in just water and it was not possible. I started putting it in my pre-made iced coffee and it was slightly better. I started out at 2 tsp a day and it was too much. I got the blinding headaches by the end of the 2nd week. I took a few days off, then I re-started with just 1 tsp for 3 days, stopped for 2, then began with 2 tsp again. I have not had any other side effects. I wanted to take this supplement to help control my hormones, which in turn would help my weight loss, and it has made a difference after 3 weeks, on and off. I have been trying to lose weight for 2 years and it has been SLOW. Since starting to take this, I've lost 5 pounds, without steady exercise due to the weather. That is more than I've lost in a month for a long time. I also purchased the cream maca which I will try starting next month. Bottom line, the price is right, it works for me, and I recommend anyone to try it out and see if it works for you." - Kim H.

"After taking red maca from The Maca Team for 3 months I was able to start losing weight and I no longer take pharmaceutical thyroid medication that I have been taking for 15 years!!! I feel great!" - Ashlee Vallejo Kliesen

"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 have used red maca root for over 3 years. I began with the powder form and would take it as a shot with a heaping tablespoon in 3 oz. of water. I credit red maca for helping me with my fitness regime that allowed me to lose 35 lbs. in 4 months (literally!). I have begun backpacking recently and so needed a different "delivery system" so I began using the capsules recently when I backpacked in WY. These are perfect and convenient while "on the road" I will continue to use them, regularly." - Diana Waterman

"Black Maca Root seems to have provided benefits from my first experience. Specifically, my energy increased and continued thru the day. Also, this earthy, malt/hops-flavored powder filled me up and seems to suppress my appetite: I'm losing weight, for sure. I make it in a shake, which seems to function as breakfast." - Jabba

"From my own personal experience and as a Pharmacist and Clinic owner, the red maca from your company really accelerates weight loss. I personally lost 45 lbs and I OWN a weight loss clinic." Jimmy Beale

"I found out about two months ago that I have type 2 diabetes. Along with that, I am about 150 lbs. overweight and have been battling hormonal issue for years. I decided that I did not want to be on medicine so I started searching the internet for natural things that would help me loose weight (to improve my blood glucose numbers), regulate my hormones, and improve my overall health. I read about the many wonderful benefits about maca, so I went to my health food store and bought some maca powder. It was awful. The taste was so strong I was unable to get it down. Plus it had added ingredients in it. So I did more research and found The Maca Team. After reading many great reviews and seeing that their product is pure maca with no added ingredients, I decided to give them a try. I am SO glad that I did. I bought the red maca capsules. They were shipped out and delivered promptly. I was a little surprised to see that the serving size was 8 capsules, but I started taking them. One month later I am down 35 lbs., I have a ton of energy, and I feel absolutely great! I sleep so good through the night. The Maca Team's Red Maca is an absolute necessity for me now. I can't imagine going without it." - Stephen

"I have been searching for a energy and sexual appetite increaser...well I have found it. I have lost weight as well. I highly recommend Maca. Great company to buy from. Thanks sooo much for changing my life :)" - Cindy

"I definitely love this Maca. I take 6 capsules in the morning before my work shift between 3-4am and I don’t have that burnount by 8-9am. It’s amazing!!! And my weight is balancing finally (had previous thyroid issues). Thank you guys!!! Im about to buy more right after this review!" - Cici

"I had lots of trouble loosing weight being post menopausal. Then around 6 months ago I started taking this Black Maca daily and along with interment fasting I have lost all they weight I needed to, It really has brought my hormone back to when I was much younger." - Teri Kavakos

"It matters what quality of Maca you use - this stuff is what WORKS! I took this for hormonal balance and to help with my period symptoms. I’m AMAZED 3-4 months being on this how it has drastically changed my whole life! My period symptoms went from 100% down to 30% - i feel like my life has changed. I’ve also lost weight on this! I don’t get nearly as emotional or irritable since taking maca, and my monthly symptoms all across the board have drastically decreased. I can’t do without this in my life! Thank you for making the best quality maca root out there!!!" - Bethany

"After extensive research, i bought this for my daughter who is 16 with HOPES that it would enhance her appetite as she was severely underweight due to no appetite, despite forcing her to eat. I am SOOOOOO happy to see that in the last three weeks, not only has her appetite improved dramatically but she has also gained 10 lbs. i am BEYONG HAPPY to see this progress in her. This product was a life saver!" - Millie R.

"I strictly use this product to promote weight gain. It helped me gain 11 pounds in 30 days. I made a video review on how I took it" - Treasure Conyers

"I ordered because mine had expired it is helpful for energy and weight gain excellent." Judy Summerville

"This product has really increased my libido, balanced my hormone. I now have a 28 day cycle, it was 25 or 26 before, which might not seem much different, but a big deal for me. My energy level has also increased and I'm maintaining weight now. I used to fluctuate up and down. I'm on the thinner size and always want to be at least 135lbs, instead of 125 at one point then130 at another And maintain it. My weight was so unpredictable. I am 140lbs and maintaining that. My butt is now firm. I feel so much more sexier. I'm happy with this product. I see a lot of good changes." - Dionne

"I usually have trouble maintaining weight, but I have been able to gain weight after I added this awesome item to my diet." - Brian Tweedy

"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
