Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan, Fresh and Potentred gelatinized maca powder serving idea

Our Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder is made from 100% red maca roots that are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. These roots come 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. The cooperative of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing only the highest quality maca products anywhere.

How is gelatinized red maca powder different than raw red maca powder?

The main difference between these two kinds of maca powder is that gelatinized maca is pre-cooked, while raw maca is not. In the gelatinization process, red maca roots are heated to above 160 F / 71 C in order to dissolve the starch content within the roots. This process makes the resulting maca powder easier to assimilate. Some of the key points of red gelatinized maca are:

  • Gelatinized maca is the easiest maca to digest and the most suitable for anyone with a sensitive stomach.
  • The gelatinization process concentrates some of maca’s nutrients so in some cases you may need to take a bit less than with raw maca for similar results.
  • Vitamin C content and enzymes are heat sensitive and are lost in the gelatinization process.
  • No other ingredients are added during gelatinization. The process has absolutely nothing to do with “gelatin” and red gelatinized maca powder is 100% vegan.
  • Some nutrients including active metabolites are activated and amplified due to the heat and pressure used in making gelatinized red maca.

Who is gelatinized red maca indicated for?

Our Gelatinized Red Maca Powder is higher in phytonutrients than our other maca products, and has a very positive effect on hormone health and balance. Some research has also indicated that red maca in general has an exceptionally positive effect on:

  • women's fertility
  • hormone balance
  • prostate health
  • energy
  • mood
  • concentration and focus

Please note that results may vary from person to person.

Is gelatinized red maca powder better than gelatinized red maca capsules?

This is a good question. Our capsules contain 100% pure maca powders so, with the exception of the vegetable cellulose that comprises the capsule itself, they are identical to our powders. That means that in terms of nutrition there is not difference. When it comes to other factors there are a few differences. First, maca powder is more economical than maca capsules. It requires specialized machinery and more labor to create and package maca capsules. This increases the cost. Gelatinized red maca powder is about 20% less expensive than the capsules for that reason. Second, maca powder is suitable and easy to mix into smoothies or other recipes, On the other hand capsules are certainly more convenient than powders. It is quicker to take them and easier to get a precise serving size daily. Capsules also disguise the taste of maca powder for those who don’t like it. That said, gelatinized red maca powder has a pleasant caramel-like flavor that many people do enjoy.gelatinized red maca powder from the maca team

We’re often asked which of the two we recommend most and to that question we like to respond that whichever format will encourage you to take maca more consistently is the one that would be best for you.

Why buy from The Maca Team?

Unlike other larger brands, The Maca Team is completely focused on maca root products. This allows us to put all our resources into ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality and most effective maca products anywhere. Our dedication starts at the level of the farms we use. We work with a cooperative of farmers who grow maca in the traditional way. They care for the land at a deep level and regenerate it over the course of 10 plus years once maca has been harvested on it. When maca roots are harvested we select the top 10% of grade A roots. These roots are then processed carefully and the resulting maca powder or chips are sent to us immediately. Even though maca has a 3-year shelf life, we emphasize getting as fresh as maca as possible into our customers’ hands. Whenever you purchase a product from The Maca Team you can be sure that it is:

  • Organically grown
  • Non-GMO
  • Vegan
  • Packaged carefully
  • Fresh
  • Potent

We believe in the power of our products and are happy to share the benefits of high-quality Peruvian grown maca with the world.

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

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

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

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 :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

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

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

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

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

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.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

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.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

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

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.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

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

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

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

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
