Description
Gelatinized Premium Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO and Vegan
Overview
Our gelatinized premium red maca powder is made from 100% red maca roots which are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. The roots comes 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.
Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder
There are two important considerations to understand about what makes this product unique.
First, what makes this maca “premium” is the special way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, maca roots are fresh processed immediately after harvest. After coming out of the ground they are cleaned in a citrus solution, ground into a pulp and low temperature dried. This special processing leaves more glucosinolates in the final product. Glucosinolates are nutrients that have been associated with anti-cancer properties.
Second, this maca powder is gelatinized. Gelatinization is a process in which maca roots are heated to high temperatures (160F / 70C). The heat causes the starch molecules in maca to irreversibly dissolve and the result is a powder that has had some of its nutrients compromised but is easier to digest than raw maca. It’s important to note that nothing is added to maca during the gelatinization process.
Gelatinized Premium Red Maca:
-
Comes from a modern approach to processing maca developed in the past 25 years
- Is fresh processed - maca roots are dried in dehydrators immediately after harvest
- Has higher glucosinolate content - nutrients which may help prevent cancer
- Is much stronger tasting - has a more noticeable maca flavor with more spiciness
- Is limited in supply since it must be produced from fresh roots during annual harvest (June-August)
Advantages of Taking Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder
This product has a few advantages. First, since it’s gelatinized it is easier to digest than raw premium red maca powder. Second, since glucosinolate content is maximized through premium processing techniques, this product is a bit stronger in terms of anti-cancer properties. Finally, other nutrients are concentrated during processing and some people find that they take a bit less of our premium products as compared to our standard or sun-dried ones.
Disadvantages of Taking Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder
The main disadvantages to using this product over a standard gelatinized red maca powder are that nutrients such as vitamin C and enzymes are destroyed during the heating process and that this type of maca is much stronger tasting. While some people do enjoy the taste, others find that it is a bit too spicy or earthy for their liking. Note that we also offer this product in capsule form if you wish to avoid the taste.

Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder
Hi, honestly, this is the only brand that I trust. It is easy on the stomach, always arrives fresh and very good quality. I've tried others and they can't compare. If there was something that I found wrong with this product I would have mentioned it here because I do give honest reviews. Not for incentives or gifts because I like to see honest reviews when shopping just like you do.

Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder
I purchase this brand on a regular basis as the scientific research on it says keeps a woman more healthy at menopause. It tastes the best of the ones I've tried and the maca team specializes in maca so I feel I can trust them with providing a high quality product that fits my needs. I am so glad this company is there for us and hope to continue purchasing from them.

Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Root Rowder
I really love this product for my hormonal health. About a year ago my period started to become irregular so I ordered this product and took it consistently for several months with breaks in between. Over time my periods became normal again. I have been ordering from the Maca Team for awhile now and so far their products have been really great. The taste and quality is amazing. I highly recommend.

Great product
I bought this along with the black maca and I've found that alternating between them has given me a faster increase in mood and energy. Great libido booster too especially for postmenopausal women

Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder
I buy this regularly. It tastes the best compared to another brand I bought that cost a little less. Also, I believe it keeps my hot flashes in check a little bit. I can't say that it has completely taken them away, but, I think they are less severe when I take one teaspoon in the morning and then one teaspoon at night. If I've been taking it for a month or so and I find that my hot flashes are not incredibly severe, I take a day off each week from taking maca. If I am taking the maca and I feel like it has stopped working, then I go off it completely for a few days and then start again, as this has seemed to get it working again. All this is still in the experimental phase for me, but even my doctor thinks it has been working and not just chance or a placebo effect. I am so glad this company exists as it provides an invaluable service to women going through perimenopause and menopause, as well as people needing maca for other reasons.

Red Maca Root
We recently visited Peru where we were introduced to red maca and its many health benefits. When we ran out of what we had purchased I found some online from the Maca Team. They shipped it quick and is the same great product we tried when we were in Peru

Red Maca Root - great for hormone support
I have reordered & found the RED MACA ROOT to be great in supporting the hormone. I’m 60 & had horrible issues with post menopause/ sleep issues. I found it helped my issues ~20-25%. Helped with less hot flashes too in the middle of the night. My husband even recognized it helping.

Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder
I am very pleased with this product. It arrived quite quickly and the packaging is very sturdy and resealable so it should stay fresh. I have been taking 1 teaspoon twice a day for about three weeks. I admit it tastes like a strong turnip, but it contains many vitamins. The reason I am taking this is that I am in the last part of perimenopause, and have been experiencing severe hot flashes for about 5 months. When I started taking the Maca on around the 10th of February 2023, my hot flashes were happening once every thirty minutes to an hour and triggered by any kind of stressful thought at all. Any kind of embarrassment or exertion or even bending over to get something off of a shelf. Just a most miserable experience it has been as you can imagine. And not only that, but I can tell that a hot flash is starting, my head feels weird and my eyes water a little, then I know I have about 20 seconds to remove any extra layers of a jacket or anything I can and still be dressed decently. I have set up a powerful fan beside my bed as they happen every night the moment I drift off to sleep like clockwork I am awakened by a hot flash. I then am able to sleep but am wakened sometimes many times a night with my clothes miserably damp so that I have to change. I am glad that it is winter where I live because if I am home I step outside into the below-freezing temperatures, the windier the better, and cool down. I can't tell you how amazingly refreshing that is. And just for reference, I normally hate the cold weather. Anyhow, for a few days now, I haven't woken up with as damp of clothes so many times during the night. And the most exciting thing though, and I won't be completely certain until I see this continue into the near future, but since yesterday, when a hot flash comes on, it has been very, very mild and I don't even need to step outside, though I still do remove my extra layers if I have them on until the hot flash passes. Let's hope it is the Maca doing its job. Or I guess it could just be that the hot flashes would have stopped anyway, but, I couldn't say. I don't take anything else like HRT or anything and never have. So, I am glad for Maca being a thing and for the many people who have studied this amazing plant. I am very grateful for the Maca Team. Your company is a godsend! Thank you so so much, and please, keep selling Maca! You certainly have me as a customer!

Gelatinized Red Maca
The Red Maca Balanced my PH for real! I didn't believe in this stuff until approximately 2 weeks of consistent use that I very notably noticed many positive changes. My body felt better overall and it truly helps regulate hormonal imbalances. I thought these 5 star reviews were cap but now I put 5 stars too. The Maca Team is the GOAT of Maca
