Maca is also an "adaptogen," or rare form of plant that is thought to raise the overall life force energy of those who consume it.

Is gelatinized maca right for you?

In terms of research on maca, both raw and gelatinized yellow maca root products 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. If you have a generally sensitive stomach or any other issue with digestion, then gelatinized maca is the best choice you can make. The reason is simple. While raw maca can cause temporary symptoms like bloating, gas or upset stomach (in about 5% of people), the gelatinized maca simply will not do so.
