What Makes Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules Different?
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.
- Gelatinized maca is the easiest maca to digest and best for anyone with a sensitive stomach
- A special process heats the roots to remove the starch content, making gelatinized maca more concentrated than raw maca
- Some nutrients including active metabolites are activated and amplified due to the heat and pressure used in making gelatinized maca
- Other nutrients, including vitamin C and enzymes are lost or altered due to the heating process
Are Red Gelatinized Maca Capsules Better Than Raw Ones?
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.
Potential Benefits from Taking Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules
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:
- Increased Energy and Stamina: Maca is known by consumers to boost energy levels and reduce fatigue.
- Hormonal Balance: Maca is an adaptogenic herb that helps to regulate hormones in the body. Red maca can be especially helpful for women experiencing menopause or menstrual irregularities.
- Improved Cognitive Function: Maca has been shown to improve cognitive function and memory in some studies. Red maca may also help to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Antioxidant Properties: Red maca contains high levels of antioxidants, which help to protect the body from free radical damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
- Prostate Health – Red maca has been shown to be the most effective color of maca root for maintaining a healthy prostate.
Please note that results vary from person to person.
Are Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules Right For You?
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.
Advantages of Taking Gelatinized Red Maca In Capsules
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.

BEST Maca I have ever tried, 20 stars.
I have had hormonal imbalance for years, causing me to be very overly emotional, have very extreme highs and lows - which were even misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder at one point. I had tried everything under the sun, including many types and brands of Maca root extract, powder and other adaptogens and naturopathic medicines etc. I've found that there are a lot of impurities and additives in many products, which just made my issues worse, and in some cases even caused allergic reactions. I have been taking the gelatinized Red Maca for 2.5 months now, with a 3 day break last week - and I just had to leave a review, because during the break I realized just how effective this product has been. Since about mid-February, 3 weeks into starting the regimen (which for me is 5 capsules in the morning) - i noticed my overall mood was improved, my skin was improved, my stress levels felt lower - and TMI* but my intimate life with my partner has improved, (due to lower stress levels? I've also read about the aphrodisiac properties of maca, and am a believer after the last 2 months).... At 6 weeks, I realized I could count on one hand the times I had cried about something small - (I was crying every day for several years about various things from a cute dog, to old people in love ...to sad commercials.. I'm serious) Today, 2.5 months into starting the red maca regimen, I am committed to purchasing months worth of supply of this stuff, and trying the tricolor as well to really dial in my regimen, because it has CHANGED my life - after YEARS of searching for a natural solution to a hormone imbalance that has run my life for all this time. These products are the real deal, pure and so effective. Thank you Maca Team family for the love and care you put into these. ONE request:: I'd love the option to purchase gelatinized capsule refills in bags instead of the plastic bins, as I have purchased 3 so far, and would love to be able to refill without the plastic. Thank you so much. -An Ecstatic Customer

Red Maca Root
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.

This will change everything
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 anxiety and depression, and increase libido. I did NOT want antidepressants 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 menopausal women. I am younger, in my 30s, so I decided to see if it could help me even though I'm nowhere near menopause. 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.

I give this a 4 stars because I will be reviewing again
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.

Good
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.
