Raw Organic Black Maca Overview:

Buy Only the Best Maca Powder
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.

GOOD OVERALL HEALTH
I am always pleased with the overall benefits of this product. I have taken this product years ago and was pleased at what a difference it made with my energy, my skin, and my hair looked amazing! I always recommend this product to my clients and have gotten some really good feedback. I highly recommend it! I am taking one star off due to the taste, as it is potent and somewhat difficult to ingest. I suggest making a smoothie with bananas and strawberries to mask the taste.

Ideal workout boost
Before the daily workout I mix a spoonful black maca w/ yogurt. Ideally greek. The increased energy level allows for better lifting and cardio. Minimal lag time to feel effects. Sperm production has increased and libido is somewhat higher. Quite filling. Seems to help focus as well. Only slight downside is the thickening when in contact with mixing agents tends to "waste" more of the powder than I'd like. Overall 4+ stars.

A rejuvenating product.
After deciding to use Maca in order to combat fatigue due to long working hours as a flight instructor and basic research about this product I approach Mark and the Maca Team. From the initial contact I am very impressed with Mark's product knowledge and the time and effort he makes available to answer all my questions. I am convinced that The Maca Team's products are among the very best in the industry/on the market, and coupled with the sincere and complete customer service, I will give an overall AAA+++ rating for this product from the Maca Team. I have been using the Maca Root for more than a year and have settled on the black maca as it is best fitting my current needs, and I would not be without this product.
