About Yellow Maca Root

Maca root powder is a beloved part of life in the high Andes and yellow maca is the most common of all colors, making up about 60% of the annual harvest. Yellow maca has been the most researched of all 3 Maca colors. To date hundreds of studies, all available publicly in the Pubmed database, have found it to be useful for energy building, fertility, hormone balance, mental focus and more. Yellow Maca is indeed a nutritional powerhouse, containing nearly all essential amino acids and free fatty acids, significant levels of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C, minerals iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium, a high concentration of bio-available protein and nutrients unique to maca called macaenes and macamides. 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.

About Gelatinized Yellow Maca Capsules

The gelatinized form of maca is the easiest to digest because starch content has been dissolved. Nothing is added to maca during the process of gelatinization and our gelatinized yellow maca capsules are indeed 100% vegan.

The important details regarding gelatinized maca:

• It is the easiest maca to digest and best for anyone with a sensitive stomach.
• A special process heats the roots is 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.
• It takes about 4 kg of raw maca roots to produce 1 kg of gelatinized maca powder.

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.

Advantages of taking maca adaptogen capsules:

Using our organic capsules have unique benefits as compared to maca powders. First, when using capsules, it's easier to get an exact dosage. Second, for people who shy away from the taste of maca, capsules are a great alternative. Finally, maca adaptogen capsules are particularly useful on the go. They are easy to take on business trips, when travelling, camping etc. Please note that results may vary from person to person.

Storage/Shelf Life:

Maca keeps well for up to 24 months provided that it is stored in a sealed bag out of direct sunlight and at below 70% humidity. (More storage and use tips)
