Gelatinized Black Maca Root Powder Overview
Our Organic Gelatinized Black Maca Root Powder is carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. It comes from
an organic farming cooperative in and around Junin, Peru. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. Our cooperative of farmers is committed both to traditional, organic farming and to producing only the highest quality maca products available anywhere.
Our gelatinized black maca root powder is always:
Gelatinization is a specialized process in which maca roots are heated and put under pressure in order to “explode” starch molecules. This renders the resulting maca powder easier to digest. As the process only uses water and heat, it does not add any type of “gelatin” to the final powder. There are several key aspects that set gelatinized maca apart:
It’s very important to understand that if you have any type of digestive sensitivity, you should use one of our gelatinized products over our raw products. That way you will have the best chance of succeeding with maca right away. If you discover that you do well with a gelatinized product, you may later want to try a raw product. Either way is actually fine as our decades of experience shows that the major benefits of each are consistent between raw and gelatinized maca products. What this means is that people report similarly positive benefits from taking either one.
In more specific terms, we recommend our organic gelatinized black maca powder for the following cases:
Read the following article to see all of black maca’s benefits and the research that supports them. Please note maca is a food and that results may vary from person to person.
This is an excellent question and the answer really depends on the individual taking maca root.
If you enjoy the taste of maca powder (gelatinized black maca has a nutty, caramel-like taste) then the powder is a better choice for you. It is also significantly less expensive than maca capsules per serving. You can either add it to smoothies or other dishes. We do have an extensive collection of maca recipes for you to enjoy.
If, on the other hand, you don’t enjoy the taste of maca, the gelatinized black maca capsules will be a better choice for you. While they do cost more, they certainly do make taking maca easier. You will only need water (or another beverage of your choice) to take them and you can be assured you are taking a consistent amount as the quantity of powder within each capsule is standardized.
If you’re on the fence between these two, we’d suggest that you at least give the powder a try first. Remember we do sell it in an 8 oz. bag. That will be enough for you to get a sense of how you like it.
We are 100% specialized exclusively in sourcing and selling the highest quality, freshest and most potent Peruvian grown maca products anywhere. Because we are laser focused on this goal we can do several things differently than other companies. First, we are able to establish and maintain relationships with producers at the local level. Because of our long-term relationships and because we pay over market value, we are able to assure that we obtain the highest quality maca for our customers.

Finally, we take great care in packaging and handling maca to assure the shelf life of the final product.

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 :) )
By Lizzie Thompson
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?!?!!!

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 :)
