Raw Organic Black Maca Overview:

The Maca Team Quality Difference:
- Getting the most out of adding maca powder to your diet starts with purchasing a high-quality product. There are number of key factors that affect how potent any given raw black maca powder is. In our production we take all of these into account in our efforts to bring you the best raw organic black maca powder available.
- For best results, the roots should be grown on virgin land in and around Junin, Peru. This is the traditional high-altitude land where maca was first discovered in the wild and then cultivated 1000s of years. People have tried to grow maca outside of the very high Andes, but with very little success.
- The roots must be picked at the appropriate time. An expert farmer checks the development of the roots regularly. At about 9 months after planting, they are ready to be harvested.
- Once harvested, the roots must be carefully and fully dried in the mountain sun. Each night they must be covered to prevent the dew from getting them wet again.
- After the roots are dry, it is very important to store them out of humidity to prevent mold. Ours are stored in the dry air of the high mountains in purpose-built warehouses.
- Only when they are ready to be ground into do we bring the roots to the production facility. There the roots are cleansed, ground into a powder and tested 4 times for nutrient content and purity.
- At the point the powder is packaged in opaque foil lined bags and readied to be shipped. Unlike many of our competitors, we order in small batches which means our maca powder almost always gets to our customers within 2-6 months of being packaged.
What are the Pros of Taking Organic Black Maca Root Powder?
As a world leader in high quality Peruvian maca, we offer products in capsules, extracts, powders and even whole chips. Taking organic raw black maca in powder form comes with a number of advantages.
- It is the least expensive options, ounce per ounce and gram per gram. That’s because production and packaging costs are simply lower.
- It is the best way to mix maca into recipes such as smoothies, juices, desserts and more.
- Because the powder is so finely ground, nutrients can be absorbed more easily in the intestine. The fineness of the powder means more surface area of the maca is exposed to your digestive tract and therefore more nutrients can be absorbed.
What are the Cons of Taking Organic Black Maca Powder?
There are also a few disadvantages associated with taking raw black maca powder.
- Black maca powder is a bit less convenient to take with you on the go than black maca capsules or black maca extract.
- You must be careful to measure the exact amount that you want to take.
- The taste can be overwhelming for some.
- Raw black maca powder can upset your stomach if you have difficulty digesting starch content. If that's the case try a gelatnized black maca product instead.
Who is Black Maca Powder Best for?
- Raw black maca is the preferred maca of men and women looking for energy, stamina and strength
- It is best for people with stronger digestive systems and who do not have intolerance to starch. If you have issues digesting starches, you should try gelatinized black maca powder instead.
How long does Organic Raw Black Maca last when stored?
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)
How should I take Raw Organic Black Maca Powder?
Black maca is classified as a food rather than a supplement or herb. There are no known contraindications or side effects related to taking it. Daily dosage recommendations range from 3 -9 grams (1-3 teaspoons) for a healthy individual weighing about 160 lbs. Maca may be taken with water, juices or milks. It also may be mixed with food.

SUPERIOR to all others ~ the Raw BLACK is my go to high performance food...
I've used other maca products before, with the best prior to yours being a gelatinized version by A Healthy Alternative. However, NOTHING has beat the results I get from your line of products. I've been introducing my staff to your maca products. Women with PMS, hot flashes or problems with pain from endometriosis, I point them to the RED. It is amazing how fast this stuff works. I will discuss "dosing" below. For me...the Black Raw version is the stuff. I'm a high performance person and like to squeeze every moment of every day. To keep me moving at the speed I like, there is nothing like 2 tablespoons of the Black. You read me right -- tablespoons. Everyone I put on this, I start them off with tablespoons. One tablespoon is 9 grams. If you want to see and feel a real difference, take it up to at least 9 grams to start...better 18 grams two tablespoons). Then you will see what I am talking about. For women with a lot of female problems that they want gone like yesterday, the initial dosing I suggest is 3 tablespoons...then as soon as they get relief, to back it down to 2 tablespoons. The smiles on their faces attest to how well this superfood works. Who would have believed that to get a superior Maca starts with first separating out the colors and figuring out what each one dose. Of course, you must start with a superior source. I won't go anywhere else. Your RAW rocks! :0)

Satisfied repeat customer
This is my 2nd order for this raw organic black maca powder I enjoy the boost in energy levels and mental alertness when I take it first thing on a empty stomach in the morning The increase in libido levels will develop over time, it seemed to take much longer for me but these days, I am very satisfied with the additional boost! One thing to note is that users should consume an appropriate amount commensurate to their body weight, do not overdose otherwise you will not see the positive effects

Just wow.
First time taking maca. I have taken tribuless for many years with great success but over time your body seems to adapt these types of things. Still works for me but I've never tried maca before. So I gave maca a go, started feeling the effects on Day 5 and on Day 7 it hit me like a truck! I only use one level teaspoon a day and it weighs out to around 3.2 grams. This had a major effect on my sex drive. I naturally have a very high libido but this made it to the point where it out of control! I'm a 32 year old man. The refractory period between encounters is cut down significantly and desire is increased significantly. This stuff is exceptional. I knew if I tried maca the first time that I only wanted top quality so I know how I react to it. Hopefully these effects don't deminish with time and cycling of the herb. I love this stuff! I know everyone reacts different to these types of things, but this stuff reacts extremely strong with me.

Black Maca Powder/Just What the Doctor Didn't Order
I began to look into the benefits of Maca at the suggestion of a Spiritual Healer. The Maca Team website provided alot of information and was I convinced to try it. It is now the first food that I ingest every day. Maca has improved the quality of my life and I always make sure I order in advance of running out.
