Description
Raw Premium Tri-Color Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Raw
Overview
Our Premium Raw Tri-Color Blend Maca Root Powder is a blend of the the major colors of maca root: black, red and yellow. It is made from 100% grade A maca roots that are grown on farms in Peru that are dedicated to organic and traditional growing methods. These roots are fresh processed shortly after harvest to preserve as many nutrients as possible. The resulting powder is nutritionally potent, but is spicier in taste than standard sundried maca. It is a good choice for individuals who already have experience with maca root products and are looking to try something new.
Premium Tri-Color Maca Powder:
We call this tri-color maca blend “Heritage Harvest” because people in the Andes have traditionally eaten all maca colors together. It was only in the late 1990s that maca roots started being separated by color. That’s because the three color ranges, yellow, red and black have been shown to have slightly different properties and nutrient profiles. One advantage of taking tri-color maca powder is that it gives you benefits of all three of these colors.
What makes this maca “premium” is the way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, freshly harvested maca roots are processed immediately. 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. The level of glucosinolates is standardized at above 1% in our raw premium tri-color maca powder.
This 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
- Is never heated over 105F / 40C
- 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)
- Costs more as the process is more labor and equipment intensive
- Is the most complete and potent all-around maca available
What Are The Disadvatages of Raw Premium Tri-Color Maca?
There are two main factors to be aware of when choosing a raw premium powder.
- Premium maca powder tastes much stronger. It has a more pungent/spicy taste than standard sundried maca. While some people enjoy the taste, it is more common for people to dislike it. If you are concerned about that, you can get the same powder in capsule form or try our standard raw tri-color maca. It’s also possible to hide the taste in some maca recipes as well.
- Premium maca costs more. Due to the special processing and limited amount of harvest dedicated to producing premium maca it is more expensive (5%-15% on average). While you may be able to take a bit less due to its potency, it does cost more up front.
Best Used For:
With a blend of about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots, raw premium tri-color maca powder is a great way to get benefits of all 3 colors. This is a superior all-purpose maca for both men and women who have already had some experience with maca. It contains a combination of the three different root colors and is a higher potency product. At the same time, it’s important to note that this powder is much stronger in taste.
Please note that results may vary from person to person.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
I am 41 years old and have been perimenopausal since I was 36. Some of the super awesome symptoms of this are acne (which I've had since I was 12 due to PCOS which makes my hormones crazy anyway), hair where you don't want hair, bloat, weight gain...the list goes on. I went to my doctor and of course she wanted to put me on hormone replacement. That is not an option for me. I started doing some research and came across Maca. I found TheMacaTeam.com and took the questionnaire and it recommended the Premium Maca Powder. I have now been using it for a month and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin and some of the symptoms have lightened up as well. The woman I go to for dermaplaning saw me for the first time in the month that I have been using Maca and couldn't believe the difference. She said my melasma was 90% better than the month prior!!! I can not wait for another month to pass to see how much better my symptoms get. I highly recommend this product for everyone and especially for women who's hormones are going nutso. You have nothing to lose by giving this product a chance, just make sure you stick with it regularly - every single day.

Amazing MACA!
I have been looking for a Maca that I considered superb and having discovered Premium Maca, I am beyond thrilled with the results. I have been using Maca for several years now and I have to say this one is by far my favorite. I put it in my smoothie every morning and no longer need coffee - Love it!

Powerful!
Taste is strongest Maca flavor being less sweet, mildly bitter and even spicy which hints at more nutrition. The powder is harder on the stomach then other Maca for me so I've been more mindful with food-combinations with it, sticking to other roots helps. ENEGY FOCUS INDURANCE are the biggest health improvements noticed after eating this!

Good
Like the health benefits and notice improvement especially in strength of nails and increase energy but having problems getting the powder to dissolve in my smoothies dispite using a ninja blender. I will probably purchase again but will try the capsules. I do not like the chalkiness of adding this in my drinks. Tried to exchange but was told that is not an option.

Very satisfied
Nor only is the product of excellent quality, customer service is exceptional. Very rarely have I found a company that actually responds to questions on a personal level, rather than directing me to the FAQs. When I had a problem with my log in to my account, the owners actually contracted me to help me get this resolved. Couldn't be happier with this company

Where to START.!!
I absolutely recommend this product. The price is affordable, the packaging is informative just like the website, I haven't had any side effects, it taste good blended into a smoothie, no after taste. I do suggest for fitness purposes, that a good detox is done before taking this product. I'm transitioning to vegan and in the morning (6:00am for me) I drink a Maca smoothie on a empty stomach followed by a bottle of water. I have great natural energy all day, and no bad food cravings that can hinder my new diet and fitness goals.!! BTW I'm from New Orleans home of some of the best restaurants! (LoL) Thanks to THE MACA TEAM for sharing such a great product and I hope you enjoy your Max's as much as I do.!!
