Overview
Our Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules are filled with 100% gelatinized red maca powder. They contain zero fillers, flow agents or other chemicals. This gelatinized red maca powder that fills them comes from red maca roots grown on an organic farming co-operative near Junin Peru. The farmers who make ups the co-op are committed to the traditional and organic farming methods that have been passed down to them for 1000s of years. These methods produce the most nutritional potent and effective maca available. We’re very happy to support their work.
Our gelatinized red maca capsules are:
There are 2 main things that stand out when it comes to gelatinized red maca capsules. First, they are made exclusively from red maca roots. Red maca is our top selling maca color. Studies have shown it to be higher in antioxidant and phytonutrient content than other colors. Second, these maca capsules are filled with 100% gelatinized red maca powder. Gelatinization is a process in which maca is heated and put under pressure to help remove the starch content. What that means for you is that gelatinized maca is easier to digest and suitable even for people with sensitive stomachs.
This is an excellent question and one that is actually pretty easy to answer. We’ve been selling both types of red maca capsules for well over a decade and we’ve seen that customers report positive effects from both types. If you read through the reviews on this page and on the page for our raw red maca capsules you can see that for yourself. While some will argue that gelatinization actually improves the results and vice versa, we see them as quite comparable. Where gelatinized maca is actually better is for people who are sensitive to raw maca products. In this case, because gelatinized maca is much less likely to temporarily upset digestion, it is also much easier to take consistently and at serving sizes that are large enough to see results.
Gelatinized red maca capsules are higher in phytonutrients than other maca products, and tend to have a very positive effect on hormone health and balance. Some research has also indicated that red maca has an exceptionally positive effect on women's fertility and hormone balance and on men's prostate health. Here is a list of benefits commonly associated with red maca:
Please note that results vary from person to person.
In terms of research on maca, both raw and gelatinized powders have gotten good results in various kinds of studies. On a more anecdotal level we've received positive feedback from our customers on both types of maca. Our overall experience is that both raw and gelatinized red maca capsules work well. What’s more important to achieving the positive results you want from taking maca is its quality and freshness. At The Maca Team, we take pride in offering the highest-quality maca available. And we package our products in house and in small batches to ensure that they are as fresh as possible.
These amazing organic superfood pills have unique a few unique benefits as compared to maca powders. First, when using capsules, it's easier to get an exact serving size. To take them you simply measure out the number of capsules you would like and swallow them with a beverage of your choice. Second, for people who shy away from the taste of maca, capsules are a great alternative. They also break down and are absorbed in the digestive tract a bit slower as well. Finally, maca capsules are particularly useful for busy or “on the go” lifestyles. These superfood pills are easy to take on business trips, when travelling, camping etc.
We also offer gelatinized red maca powders in three sizes. These are less expensive gram for gram and can be easily mixed into smoothies or other recipes.

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?!?!!!

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.

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 :)
