Our Organic Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules contain pure red maca root powder grown in the high Andes of Peru. Each vegan capsule provides 750 mg of gelatinized red maca in a convenient format that requires no measuring or mixing.
Gelatinization uses heat and pressure to remove much of maca’s naturally occurring starch. This creates a pre-cooked form of maca that many people prefer when raw maca is more difficult for them to digest.
Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules contain red maca root (Lepidium meyenii) that has undergone an additional preparation step before being milled into powder and encapsulated. The gelatinization process removes much of the root’s natural starch while retaining the maca in a convenient powdered form.
Despite the name, gelatinized maca contains no gelatin. Our capsules are made with vegetable cellulose and are suitable for vegans.
Learn more about this maca variety in our red maca guide.
The red maca roots are traditionally grown in the high Peruvian Andes. After drying, the maca undergoes gelatinization using heat and pressure. This removes most of the naturally occurring starch and produces the gelatinized maca powder used in these capsules.
Gelatinized maca is different from raw maca because it has been pre-cooked during processing. This makes it a popular choice for people who prefer a maca product with less natural starch.
Red maca is one of the three primary maca colors, along with yellow and black. The roots range naturally from light pink to deeper red and maroon tones.
Like other maca varieties, red maca naturally contains carbohydrates, protein, fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and distinctive plant compounds including macaenes and macamides. Red maca is commonly chosen by people looking to support energy, mood, stamina and overall vitality as part of their daily wellness routine.
Two things distinguish this product: it is made exclusively from red maca roots, and the maca has been gelatinized.
Raw maca retains its naturally occurring starch. During gelatinization, much of that starch is removed through a controlled heat-and-pressure process. Some people who find raw maca difficult to digest prefer gelatinized maca for this reason.
Both raw and gelatinized maca remain popular choices, and the best option generally depends on personal preference and how you prefer to use maca.
Capsules provide a convenient way to use maca without measuring powder or mixing it into foods and beverages. Each capsule contains a consistent 750 mg amount of gelatinized red maca root powder.
Capsules are also useful for travel, work and for people who prefer not to taste maca powder. If you prefer mixing maca into smoothies, beverages or recipes, we also offer Organic Gelatinized Red Maca Powder.
Each capsule contains 750 mg of gelatinized red maca root powder.
The suggested use is 1–4 capsules daily, preferably in the morning with food. For additional guidance, visit our maca dosage guide.
The Maca Team focuses exclusively on high-quality Peruvian maca. Our maca comes from farming cooperatives near Junín, Peru, one of the traditional growing regions for maca root.
Our Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules are Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO and Vegan. They contain no fillers, flow agents or unnecessary additives. You can learn more about our sourcing and production practices on our Our Standards page.
Our Company has specialized in maca and maca products for more than two decades.
Keep the capsules in their sealed dark amber container and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Shelf life is approximately 2 years when properly stored.
Suggested use is 4–12 capsules daily. Best taken in the morning.For additional guidance, visit our maca dosage guide.

I have Hashimotos and I am in perimenopause. The red Gelatinized maca has been amazing for balancing my hormones naturally. I have been using maca for years but have only gotten the best benefits from the maca team products. I will continue to be a die hard fan!
Leah Bower –
I’m giving 3 starts because I don’t specifically have any issues or anything negative to say about the product, but this red maca causes me to be extremely exhausted. I am not sure why because I thought it was supposed to give energy but it has not. The first few days I took it in the morning because of reviews saying it was energy-inducing, those days I felt absolutely horrible. I was grouchy and irritable, and very tired. So I switched to taking it at night. I’ve been taking it at night for a week or so, and I sleep really well but my energy level is at ZERO during the day. I just don’t know why because I really was excited about this purchase.
Hi Leah: We’ve reached out to help you troubleshoot. It may be that you need to stay on the product longer. As hormone levels adjust it can cause fatigue in some people.

I heard that maca was helpful for hot flashes and I tried a different brand. It didn’t work ant all. Then I found The Maca Team and their red Maca. Within a week my hot flashes were completely gone. And I feel much more clear minded. I will definitely be reordering when my supply is low. I learned that there is a huge difference in quality with Maca so make sure you buy the best.

I am new to the maca world, and am perimenopausal. My hot flashes and moods are horrible. Been trying the sun dried gelatinized red maca for a few weeks now (taking 2-4 daily), and while they make me very tired versus give me energy, they have definitely upped my mood and decreased all the nasty things that come with significant hormonal changes. I will take feeling tired but happy over being energized but miserable! If you know, you know! Thank you, Maca Team! Your maca is the real deal!

I already take quite a few supplements, and thought I would try your product. I was surprised to read that I need to take between four and 12 of them a day, which seems excessive to me, so I am just taking two every morning. The product seems fresh, has a, nice flavor, and I’m hoping it calms my hot flashes a bit going forward.
Josette (verified owner) –
I have tried various maca products and I would come across this website a few times. I always wanted to try this product but was unable to at the time. Now that I was given the chance in purchasing it, I’m so glad I did. Above all the products I tried , this one by far is the best. I recommend it to anyone, especially us mid aged folks. I feel great, full of energy in every area of my life, awesome Maca!

I’m 45 years old and read women are in perimenopause 10 years before menopause, i figure my mom/grandma sisnt menopause till almost 60 yrs old so I’d get a Head start! I actually been using mac on and off for over 10 years but the past year decided to make it a constant staple and instead of raw stick with gelatinized. I live that i can have liquid, powder and pill options as i have several products in All forms. I believe I get a good well rounded benefit from the different forms. This company is Amazing!! Prices are affordable but ya can’t out a price on Health which is Real Wealth!!!!!

I had tried so many products over the years — different types and brands of maca, extracts, powders, adaptogens, and other natural products. What I kept running into was impurities, additives, or products that simply did not feel right for me.
I’ve been taking the Gelatinized Red Maca for about 2.5 months now, usually 5 capsules in the morning. I took a short break last week, and that is when I realized how much this product has become part of feeling like myself again. Since adding it to my routine, I feel more steady, more grounded, more comfortable in my body, and better supported in my day-to-day life.
I’m now committed to purchasing a few months’ supply and also trying the tricolor maca to really dial in my routine. These products feel pure, carefully made, and like the real deal. Thank you, Maca Team family, for the love and care you put into them.
One request: I’d love the option to purchase gelatinized capsule refills in bags instead of plastic bins. I’ve purchased three so far and would love to be able to refill without the plastic.
Thank you so much.

I have been using Red Maca for several years now. It is the only product that has helped with my hot flashes. I take 4 capsules 3 times a day. Before breakfast, at lunch and at bedtime. I am able to sleep through the night without night sweats. If I miss a dose, my body let’s me know.
It is quality Maca and will continue to use it and recommend it to family and friends.
Sarah (verified owner) –
I’m not an “all natural” medicine type of person. I’m generally pretty skeptical of it honestly. But I was looking for something to even out my mood swings, ease stress and increase vitality and drive. I did NOT want the main stream route where you seem to end up with different symptoms rather than just eliminating your current ones.
This product I researched heavily. Red maca has been studied and results published and peer reviewed as to effectiveness for men and women. I am younger, in my 30s, so I decided to see if it could help me even though I’m nowhere near midlife. After about 2-3 weeks of taking 3g (4pills) my MIL told me she noticed a difference. Her comment- “You laugh more”. Guys- I FEEL lighter, happier, and able to cope with my life. Is every day perfect? Absolutely not. But in general it’s made a huge difference. I always noticed crazy mood swings around my period, so I up the dose starting the week before and it’s made a difference.
TRY IT. I have had no adverse side effects. My only negative I that it’s hard to swallow 4 to 6 capsules when they float.
Jeany Valcourt (verified owner) –
I just got off my birth control so I think the effect took some time to show since my bc was killling my libido.But once my body got used to it I got extremely horny.I can only review the libido for this cause I planned to gain weight on these but didn’t really had my workout and diet planned.I am ordering more.
K. (verified owner) –
First of all, I highly recommend these instead of the powder, because that stuff tastes vile. I’ve been taking 4 capsules a day, hoping to regulate my period, mainly, but also for other benefits. Well, the first month of taking them, I didn’t get my period at all. So, it hasn’t helped with that, yet, but it also wasn’t necessarily the cause of my missed period (my period is generally irregular, which is why I am trying this). However, I do think I’ve been feeling more energetic and my overall mood has been better, since I started taking these! Again, this is probably due to a variety of reasons (change in weather, getting vaccinated finally, etc.), but I’m going to continue taking these for a while and see what happens.

Sadly, maca did not work for me. I noticed an increase in the intensity and occurrences of my hot flashes. They were hotter and happened more often. Night sweats possibly worse too. I also gained weight. I know a lot of people have had success with this product, but we are all unique and it just did not help me.

I wanted to try to Maca to help with my hot flashes and night sweats. I started with the yellow Maca powder and quickly realized that was not for me. Taking a capsule was the better choice. Thanks to The Maca Team, my order was shipped within a day after I ordered it. After taking the red Maca for 3 weeks, 2 capsules at breakfast and 2 capsules at lunch, I have noticed the night sweats/hot flashes do not last as long and sometimes back down before going full blast. I am very pleased with the Red Maca and that I can get it in the capsule. Thank you!

Preface: I am taking this to help with (in)fertility issues. In two weeks of taking it my luteal phase increased by a day and increased by another day the following cycle. It has improved other issues as well that are too private for a public review such as this, but these capsules seem like miracle workers to me. I am so completely astounded at how well and how rapidly they are improving my health.

I love the Red Maca Capsules. They are very convenient to take, and I’ve noticed a real difference in how I feel day to day.

I read on line Maca would help with Restless Leg Syndrome. Anything is worth a try. I was surprised to find other benefits listed when I researched.
I thought it might be good for both my husband and I to try for improved health.
After taking about 5 -6 capsules daily for several weeks there is no benefit whatsoever. I’ve still got two containers of capsules in the cupboard with no reason to continue.
Hi Lisa:
Sorry you didn’t have a benefit in terms of your Restless Leg Syndrome. Honestly, we’ve never heard of Maca associated with that. As far as other benefits, Maca is a food and does take time to work. We’d encourage you to stay with it and see what comes of taking your remaining Maca. If we can do anything to help. Please let us know…. Thanks. Mark, The Maca Team

I switched to Gelatinized Red Maca after raw Maca (from another distributor) made me nauseous and didn’t seem to have any other effects. I started with the powder but I’m not fond of the taste, so I switched to the capsules, which are easier for me to take and to carry with me when I need to.
The Red Maca itself has surprised me. The boost of energy I get pretty immediately after I take it is helpful, but the biggest impact has been that when I’m consistent about taking it, I don’t seem to get as many hot flashes and the ones I do get are a lot milder than they were. It took a few weeks to ramp up – I started at a low dose (1/2 tsp or 2 capsules) and have been gradually increasing, following suggestions from the folks at The Maca Team. I have only been taking Red Maca for about 2 months and not always consistently – I’m trying to get better about that and looking forward to seeing where it gets me!

Before taking Red Maca, at times my premenopausal symptoms were almost unbearable…the night sweats and hot flashes at any given moment during the day made me miserable and I seemed to always look as though I just ran a marathon!
After talking with a good friend, Red Maca was recommended as an alternative to man-made synthetic prescription drugs and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. It took a few weeks for me and my body to adjust but it is a substantial improvement over what I was experiencing before. I highly recommend Red Maca!!!!

I love my red gelatinized maca caps!
It is as if they add a youth hormone into my body : my breasts appear larger and firmer ( even more so if I exercise them ) as they once did before menopause. As if estrogen is put back into my body!
No stomach upsets at all – I do not take the full dosage as I am petite and sensitive … 3-4 caps every morning with vit C at breakfast
Again, if I faithfully exercise, it also rounds and lifts my butt area
will not be without

I’ve taken the gelatinized red maca for over 6 months and it help so much with regulating my monthly cycle when I would have several months up to years apart from my regulatory. I was told that I needed to gain weight and it would get back to normal. Being diabetic I gained a little weight and still irregular. I did some research on maca and started taking it and the irregularity started to go away to where my cycle comes every month. My family members tell me that they suffer of irregularity also and I’ve suggested this to them. It really helps.

This product is great. My mood is is much better and temper. I feel my hormones have been regulated both emotionally and physically. I love it. The only con that really isn’t a negative is the smell. But the benefits far out weigh the small of the maca powder.

I have tried a couple of different forms of the Red Maca, and find it pleasant and energizing in a subtle way, and it seems to have improved my hot flashes a bit. I got the capsule form for traveling, as it’s not always easy to mix powder. They are the same excellent substance, but one has to take a lot – suggestions seem to range from 6 to 12 (which was also a little hard to figure out). I prefer having my Maca all at once, as I’ll forget otherwise, and I have a hard time taking so many at a time. However, if you preferred to space it out over a day these would work well.

I stopped taking thyroid medicine after almost a decade of changing and increasing doses and adding meds, with little to no success. I used red maca to go off, but it tasted soooooo nasty that I stopped eventually. I have been having sleep troubles (taking forever to fall asleep, waking up several times in the night, and feeling HOT then COLD… generally miserable) So I felt I should try this again. The capsules are the key for me. MUCH better than adding the powder to my smoothie! Why ruin that thing? Enjoy food. Swallow a capsule. Win/Win! I’m sleeping much better now and that makes everything MUCH better!

Since I turned 28, my hormones have been crazy! (Attributed to going off birth control although not trying to get pregnant) The maca has helped level my hormones dramatically. I can get through a menstrual cycle again without severe pain and cramps. Definitely improved my quality of life – I highly recommend!

This product is amazing, and I highly recommend it. I had been on the birth control pill for 17 years and only recently got off of it. My cycle was thrown off completely, and I suspected that it was due to a hormonal imbalance from being on the pill for such a long time. I took the red maca capsules for about 2.5 months and they worked amazingly! My cycle is now like clockwork every 28 days and my cramps are minimal. It gave me increased energy, and my libido increased tremendously as well! The only downsides are that the product caused me to suffer from extreme bloating, so when that happened, I just stopped taking it for about 7 days and then resumed taking it. I could only take 4 red maca capsules a day, otherwise the bloating was too much. It also caused me to gain weight (about 6 pounds). But because of all of the amazing benefits, it was still worth it. If you are considering using maca, I highly recommend getting it from the Maca team. Their product is high quality and offers so many great benefits!

I purchased the gelatinised red maca capsules expecting them to be very hard to take purely because of the flavour from every other brand I’ve tried is horrible.

I was introduced to Maca powder in November by a family member and it has been doing wonders for my hot flashes & night sweats. Only problem is that it would upset my stomach, so I decided to buy Gelatinized Red Maca capsules. I started taking only 4 per day and find I still have an upset stomach so I’m planing to lower the dose to only two capsules.
The amazing news is that the hot flashes and night sweats have decreased immensely!!!! Thank you Maca Team for this great natural solution! Blessings from a very happy customer :)

I am a 48 year old female and have used the gelatinized red maca for over a year. I wanted to wait to write a review because so many times I try something that seems to work initially and then stops working. I am in perimenopause and have adenomyosis. I first took natural oral progesterone which worked fantastic, until the company stopped making it and the transdermal progesterone did not work for me. Then I came across articles about maca trying to find something to help my symptoms. I chose The Maca Team maca and after one month my irregular bleeding became a normal 28 day cycle which was consistent until I went off the maca for one month and started having symptoms again. I went back on the maca and I’m back to “normal”. This product has: decreased my hot flashes/night sweats substantially, regulated my cycle, and normalized my mood. I still have some other perimenopausal symptoms; however, this is still a miracle food for me!!!!

I have been using maca powder for about 9 months. I began using it to help with libido & noticed a nice increase within about a week. My husband had been taking a testosterone booster (not a natural one) & didn’t want to give the maca a try since he is skeptical of any kind of natural remedies. I finally convinced him to give it a try & he has been wildly impressed with the results. So have I ;-) He is 51 years old.

I began having hot flashes in June 2015. Someone recommended Maca and after researching the various brands I decided on Maca Team Red Maca I started out with 2 for a week, then increased to 3 for a few days, then finally 4. My hot flashes and night sweats stopped by week 4! I am continuing to take 4 a day and still no hot lashes or night sweats after 2 months. I will continue to take.

I have taken a few different brands of Macca. I started this brand and in just a few days I could tell the product was pure as claimed. Energy level way up in just a few days.
Highly recommend this product as being true to claims.

Taking Maca Red has been wonderful for me. I feel more comfortable in this stage of life, and I’m very grateful to have found it.

Made the decision to switch companies due to customer service mainly. Your dosages are higher than my previous company so I am trying to work with finding what’s right for me. It has not subsided my stress levels at this point and if I up the dosage it seems to bring it on more? I am also a midlife woman going thru extreme midlife changes so not sure if its just my hormones but last 2 yrs Maca has helped me feel more balanced…just not landing on the right dosage yet!

I love The Maca Team’s gelatinized maca root! I trust and believe that I am getting exactly what I ordered. I have gotten great results and will continue to order maca root from The Maca Team. Customer service and delivery time is bar none! My sister is now a Maca Team and maca root fan as well.
Thank you!

First, I ordered the Raw Red Maca hoping to reap all the nutrients as stated , but the Raw Red Maca was hard on my belly, with gas, bloating and the runs when taking all 8 in the a.m. – it seemed to lessen the intensity of the hot flashes and frequency although i still had a few when I was sleeping. So I switched to the gelatinized Red Maca and started taking 4 in a.m upon waking and 4 at lunchtime -not too late. Now ALL MY HOT FLASHES HAVE STOPPED! It’s hard for me to image that a simple switch to the gelatinized would work so well for me! I was a mess having one hot flash per hour throughout the day and night to having NONE! Sadly though neither has helped my libido or weight loss. I switched my husband from the Raw Red to the Gelatinized Black Maca too for all the reasons stated above (except, of course, the hot flashes)- but there has been no improvement in that area either (he’s 47, I’m 55)- and unfortunately while there is less gas and bloating the scale hasn’t budged for either of us and neither has our sex life- both stuck in neutral. However it’s such a relief to be without the hot flashes – at least now I can function. I hope it continues this way- I am a repeat customer and will not do without this product.
