Overview:
Our Raw Red Maca Root Powder is made from 100% red maca roots. These roots are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled by 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 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.
The highest in all major phytonutrients and is considered to be the best of all maca powders for hormone balance, female libido and fertility boost, natural energy boosting and male prostate health.
Our certified organic red maca powder is higher in phytonutrients than other maca root colors, and has a very positive effect on hormone health and balance. Some research has also indicated that red maca powder has an exceptionally positive effect on men's prostate health and gives women a natural fertility boost. Red maca is sweeter than our other powders, making it great for everyone including children. We recommend it for:
Please note that results vary from person to person.
You can incorporate raw red maca powder into your diet in 3 major ways.
First, and most common, is to take your daily serving of raw red maca powder mixed into water or milk of your choice. We recommend using a shaker jar or blender to fully mix the powder with the liquid. We also suggest taking your serving of maca in the morning so that you can enjoy the energy boost maca provides throughout the day.
Second, you can add raw red maca powder to a smoothie recipe of your choice. We have quite a few raw maca recipes that you can try for yourself. Maca works well with other superfoods such as goji berries, hemp seeds, cacao, coconut oil etc. Here’s a nice sample recipe:
Ingredients:
• 6-10 medium fresh strawberries
• 1 banana
• 1-3 t raw red maca powder
• 1/4 cup rice or almond milk
• 1/2 t vanilla extract
• 1 t flaxseed oil
• 1 C ice cubes (if you want a cold drink)
Preparation: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy this healthy strawberry banana smoothie immediately.
A third way to prepare raw red maca powder is to add it to one of your favorite recipes. Many people enjoy adding it to a breakfast cereal such as oatmeal or cream of wheat. You can try one of the raw recipes on our recipes page or invent one yourself.
Raw red maca powder is less expensive than our capsules per serving. That’s because of the extra labor and material costs involved in making the capsules themselves. The powder is also more versatile than capsules since you can easily mix in beverages or add it to dishes you like to make. On the other hand, capsules are easier to use when it comes to getting a precise serving size. Capsules are also more convenient to take with you on the go.
This is a difficult question to answer precisely. The 3 major colors of maca, black, red and yellow, are all from the exact same species and do have very similar nutritional profiles. That said, studies have shown red maca to work better for prostate health and for general hormone balance. Since it tastes a bit sweeter raw red maca powder is also easier for many people to take. Beyond that, as long as you are taking a high-quality, Peruvian grown organic maca powder you will likely see positive results from adding it to your life.
Over the years, we’ve seen that taking raw maca powders works well for over 90% of people. For the other 10% it can cause temporary digestive issues such as gas or bloating. The reason for that is the starch content found in raw maca. If you have any issues digesting starch or if you generally have a sensitive digestive system please use our gelatinized red maca instead. The starch content has been removed and digestion should not be an issue. Another alternative is to try our red maca extract, which is also much easier to digest.
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)
1-3 teaspoons mixed in water, juice or smoothies daily. (Complete serving guidelines)
Enjoy the day!

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

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 :) )

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 :)
