Overview
Our raw premium tri-color maca root capsules contain 100% maca powder made from about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots. Premium processing of these roots leaves more nutrients in the final product and makes for an extremely potent final product. We directly oversee the making of these capsules to ensure that they contain absolutely no other ingredients. As with all of our maca capsules these capsules are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO and certified organic.
Until the early 2000s, maca roots were not separated by color. Instead all the roots from a given harvest, whether black, red or yellow, were lumped together to create maca root powders and capsules. This is the simplest and most traditional way of consuming maca and it offers the advantage of getting benefits of all 3 of the major colors. Our tri-color maca products preserve this tradition.
Raw tri-color maca is never heated over about 105F/40C which preserves all of its vitamin C content as well as enzyme content. Premium processing of this maca also works to preserve more nutrient content, specifically glucosinolate content. The level of glucosinolates is standardized at above 1% in our premium maca. Glucosinolates are nutrients thought to be associated with anti-cancer properties. Creating premium maca requires special fast processing and special equipment and therefore the resulting products are a bit more expensive. Most of our customers say that the extra benefits from them are worth the extra cost.
Using our maca capsules has unique benefits as compared to maca powders, extracts or chips. First, when using capsules, it's easier to get an exact dosage. To get your serving size, you simply need to count the number of capsules required. Second, for people who shy away from the taste of maca, capsules are a great alternative. Maca powder, and especially premium maca powders have an earthy flavor that is not for everyone. Using capsules, you totally avoid this. Finally, maca capsules are particularly useful on the go. They are easy to take on business trips, when travelling, camping etc.
With a blend of about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots, raw premium tri-color maca root capusles represent a great way to get benefits of all 3 colors. This is a great all-purpose maca for both men and women – especially since it contains a combination of the different root colors and is a higher potency product.
We recommend these capsules for people who are looking to get the most out of adding maca to their lives.
Please note that results may vary from person to person
We believe that these raw premium tri-color maca capsules offer some of the best results available for people starting with maca.
One important thing to note is that raw maca does contain starch content and can lead to an upset stomach for about 5% of people. If you have a sensitive digestion, we recommend getting a gelatinized (pre-cooked) maca product instead. These have had the starch content removed and are therefore easy to digest. We do also sell gelatinized premium tri-color maca capsules.
All of our maca products are made from maca roots that are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. They come from an organic farming co-op near Junin, Peru, the traditional farming area for Maca. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The co-op of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing the highest quality Maca products available anywhere. We're very happy to support their work.
Beyond that, since we oversee the production of our capsules we can ensure that they contain nothing except our maca powders. No fillers, flow agents or chemicals of any kind.
Maca capsules keep well for up to 24 months provided that it is stored in a sealed container out of direct sunlight and at below 70% humidity.
2-8 capsules daily - best taken in the morning - with or without food. (Complete serving guidelines)

The Maca Team
I shop around a lot for my supplements and health foods, and I have to say you guys at The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace. Thanks for all you do!

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
By Michelle Gebbia
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 :) )
By Lizzie Thompson
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

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

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.

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.

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 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.
By Adam Holt
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
My Maca came in today and it has all the information on it! I must say this is the best tasting Maca I have tried!! Thank you again for a great product!! I will only order from you in future as well!
By Stormi Evans
First I would like to say I love this product. I was very skeptical about a natural product with so many benefits but this stuff really works. Second, I love this company. From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.
By Darren Rivers Sr.
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
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
I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
