Description
Raw Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Raw
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.
Our Raw Red Maca Powder Is:
-
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.
- Incredibly vital. Maca is the highest growing crop in the world (above 14000 feet) and it thrives in extremes of cold, wind and sunlight.
- Is one of the most nutrient dense superfoods anywhere. It is high in carbohydrates (59%), bio-available protein (10.2%), fiber (8.5%) and calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. Red maca also contains 17 amino acids, 23 free fatty acids and significant amounts of niacin and vitamins B1, B2 and C.
- Contains 4 unique nutrients called macaenes and macamides that support optimal hormone balance, vitality and strength in both men and women. It is also an adaptogenic food (like ginseng) that has been shown to significantly raise life force energy and provide a natural energy boost.
Best Used For:
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:
- Support for prostate health
- Menopause support
- Introducing maca to children
- Overall hormone balance
- Memory, focus and concentration
- Female fertility
- Support for improving mood and emotional health
Please note that results vary from person to person.
How To Use Raw Red Maca Powder
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:
Maca Strawberry Banana Smoothie
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.
What’s The Difference Between Raw Red Maca Powder and Capsules?
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.
Is Raw Red Maca Powder Better Than Black Or Yellow Maca?
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.
Should I Use Raw Red Maca Powder or Gelatinized Red Maca Powder?
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.
Storage/Shelf Life:
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)
Suggested Use:
1-3 teaspoons mixed in water, juice or smoothies daily. (Complete serving guidelines)
Enjoy the day!

It really works!
I’ve had period problems for almost a year now. Spend lots of money for doctors who didn’t know what’s going on. I’ve tried the Maca Powder and my problems just disappeared after one month! I really don’t like the taste but it’s alright in smoothies and juices. I’m just happy that my cycle went back to normal!

Restored my regular menstrual cycle so far
My father recommended this product to me because he has had marked improvement in his prostate issues, mental clarity and his overall physical condition. I decided to try the red maca because I have PCOS and issues with fertility and ovulating. I am also overweight and I'm currently on track to reach my weight goals. haven't even finished the first bag and I've had 2 periods one was 30 days apart and the next was 28 days (perfect). This has really seemed to balance my hormones. My moods are more stable. I've been taking it every morning before work and it is way easier for me to get up in the morning as I have to report to work at the crack of dawn. I love the nutty taste, I normally add it to smoothies when I have time on weekends but if I don't, I mix it with water and shake and take it with me on my work commute and it's just fine. I don't see myself giving up this product. I have used products in the past that claim to add maca to their products and have never seen these results. I noticed that I have a breakout on my face and I've heard that is because the product is regulating hormones which can initially cause a breakout. I look forward to improving skin and I have confidence that the product will deliver. I also notice changes in my nails, they are visibly stronger and clearer. Overall I can tell this is one of the life changing products. I think it's well worth the investment in yourself and your health. I also feel that the price is reasonable as I'm not rich and I also don't want to spend tons of money on Dr's visits and medicines so I like superfoods like maca and I look forward to continuing purchasing from this brand. I've also told several people about my results because they ask and are curious about what I'm drinking. When I share it just feels so authentic because I truly enjoy and am benefited by this product.

Over 60
The red Maca performs as advertised. This satisfied customer has been adding powdered red to my morning energy drink. Since I started, I have noticed a "boost" in energy in the evening, as well as as an end to occasional ED issues. This wary consumer is not easily gulled. The results, starting about a week-ten days after adding Maca to my daily diet, were undeniable. I recommend everyone take the "Which Maca is best for me?" quiz. My results indicated that I switch from black Maca to red Maca. I blended the two for two weeks, then started 100% red. My bride of thirty years insists I re-stock in a timely manner. 'Nuff CED.

Amazing
I initially purchased this for my wife, she has fibromyalgia, and I also used it. It gives me a lot of energy for my workouts and the other benefits are beneficial for me as well. We're hooked and will continue to purchase this great product.
