Question: “I keep hearing about the about the “maca root buttocks.” Is it really true that taking maca root can make your butt bigger?” – JeanieOver the past several years we've received 100's of questions similar to the one above. It seems that every few months someone publishes a post or video showing curvy results achieved in part by regularly taking high quality maca powder. Unfortunately, there’s a good amount of hype and confusion over the real answer to what we now call the “maca butt” question. As a leading supplier of maca root products, here’s what we’ve learned about the truth, and the myths, in answer to Jeanie’s question. Are you on your own quest to enhance your curves, possibly by using maca? Read on to learn the best way to use maca root for curves, hips, and buttocks growth.
The simple answer to this question is “yes, taking a regular dose of maca root can help grow a bigger butt so long as you combine it with appropriate exercise.” We’ve heard feedback from several of our customers, including several natural bodybuilders, that maca root has indeed helped create more curves. Could it be that all of the gains are due to exercise and not maca? It’s certainly possible, but maca can absolutely help and here’s why.
The first thing you should understand about maca is that it is a food and not a supplement. When you take pure, certified organic maca powder, you are eating a food that has been cultivated and used by people living high in the Andes mountains for over 2000 years. They have used it for health reasons without side effects to naturally boost their energy, improve their fertility and increase their stamina while living in the extreme conditions of very high altitudes (12,000 feet and above).Maca is a nutritional powerhouse and provides a high level of nutrients. It is also an adaptogenic food that supports optimal hormone balance and vitality for anyone who enjoys it.In terms of getting “maca buttocks” from this superfood, here’s what you need to know:
Since the butt contains the largest muscles in the body (the gluteus maximus), it follows that a consciously designed exercise program combined with maca root will help you gain a bigger butt.One of the many benefits of Maca is that it helps balance hormones. That means that it supports a healthy level of estrogen, which is clearly related to enhancing female curves.
Early in 2021, Dana Marie (@knockoutdmarie), a MMA/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness enthusiast reached out to us with the following email.
“My name is Dana Marie, and after weeks of using Maca. I can’t even begin to tell my story without a smile on my face- and on others!!!!!! I'm a MMA/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, + fitness enthusiast, 24 Years old, with the ultimate goal of obtaining Full/Round/Perky Glutes. Which has absolutely happened while sticking to a my diet including Maca. I could RAVE FOR HOURS, I am obsessed and these results are ABSOLUTELY insane. I include Premium Black Maca Powder, Capsules + Extract in my everyday routine. Along with working out and my diet, I’m convinced the results show for themself how incredible Maca works.”
She also sent us this photo, showing her post maca results (on the right):
Obviously, she's super happy and excited with the results that she has achieved. From her feedback and that of many others we are certainly convinced that maca indeed can play an important role in supporting "curves." That said, keep in mind that Dana also writes that she uses it in combination with healthy exercise.
Another customer recently wrote us the following:
"The red Maca taste very beety but inside a smoothie that consists of banana, cocoa powder, and almond milk, DELICIOUS. And maca gives me better curve definition around my hip area.. Overall great product and worth it." - Ana
If you’re serious about using maca root for curves, you’re going to have to work some at it. There is no magic potion, including maca. The great thing is that maca will help you feel like putting in the work. That’s because one of the main benefits of taking it is a boost in energy and vitality.
With increased energy, mood, and balanced hormones on your side, reaching your goals will be hard work—it just might not feel so hard.Here’s how to use Maca for buttocks:
Maca grows in a variety of colors ranging from white to dary gray/black. Each color has a slightly different nutrient profile and use. (The colors, it’s important to note, are on the skin of the maca, which means the powders themselves will all have a similar cream color.)
To achieve your goal of more curves we recommend either red maca or black maca. Both of them have shown very positive results in terms of muscle building effects, with Black Maca being a bit more effective. Find out which Maca is best for you here.
While it would be easy to think that this benefit of Maca is exclusively relevant to women, that's not the case. We have a few male bodybuilders who have shared their positive stories of using maca in their workouts for glute growth. Here is one recent one:
"Been taking black maca since Christmas 2020 daily with work outs my butt has increased amazingly I gained weight from 162 lbs to 195 just as I wanted. Great energy" - John Dodge
We hope this article has helped. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
We wish you all the best in pursuit of the “Maca root buttocks!”Enjoy the day!
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!

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

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 :) )

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

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

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.

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.

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?!?!!!
By Janis Ihrig
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.
By Adam Holt
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.
By Bob
My Maca came in today and it has all the information on it! I must say this is the best tasting Maca I have tried!! Thank you again for a great product!! I will only order from you in future as well!
By Stormi Evans
First I would like to say I love this product. I was very skeptical about a natural product with so many benefits but this stuff really works. Second, I love this company. From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.
By Darren Rivers Sr.
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
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
I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
