Overview
Our Raw Yellow Maca Capsules contain 100% yellow maca root powder made from maca roots traditionally grown and harvested on an organic farming co-op in a remote pristine part of the Peruvian Andes. This powder is never heated above 106 degrees F / 40 C in order to preserve nutrients at maximum levels. Like all of our capsules, these contain absolutely no other ingredients – no fillers, flow agents or other ingredients at all.
Maca root powder is a beloved part of life in the high Andes and yellow maca is the most common of all colors, making up about 60% of the annual harvest. Yellow Maca has been the most researched of all 3 Maca colors. To date hundreds of studies, all available publicly in the Pubmed database, have found it to be useful for energy building, fertility, hormone balance, mental focus and more. Yellow maca root is indeed a nutritional powerhouse, containing nearly all essential amino acids and free fatty acids, significant levels of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C, minerals iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium, a high concentration of bio-available protein and nutrients unique to Maca called macaenes and macamides. Maca is also an "adaptogen," or rare form of plant that is thought to raise the overall life force energy of those who consume it.
Using our organic capsules have unique benefits as compared to maca powders. First, when using capsules, it's easier to get an exact dosage. Second, for people who don’t appreciate the taste of maca powders, capsules are a great alternative. Finally, maca capsules are particularly useful on the go. They are easy to take on business trips, when traveling, camping etc. 
We’ve chosen to offer maca capsules over maca pills for some very specific reasons. First of all, it is possible to fill maca capsules without expensive and complicated machinery. This helps to keep the overall costs down. Second, maca pills or tablets require other ingredients in order to keep them together in pill or tablet form. We simply want to offer the purest, highest quality maca capsules available anywhere and for that reason capsules work better than pills. Similarly, it’s easy to ensure that our maca capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The capsules we source are made exclusively of plant products. That’s not so easy to ensure when it comes to pills or tablets.
Maca is associated with a number of impressive benefits. It is a nutrient dense food source that also has a positive impact on the endocrine system. Because of its ability to help balance hormones, maca has been associated with all of the following:
Adding 2-8 raw yellow maca capsules may indeed lead to these types of benefits and more. At the same time, please note that results may vary from person to person.
As a company our entire focus is on maca root products. For that reason we can devote all of our efforts into growing, processing and packaging the best, highest quality Peruvian grown maca products available anywhere. We are happy to work with organic farming cooperatives in Peru that are dedicated to growing maca in both a traditional and sustainable fashion. They use time honored techniques handed down generation to generation to produce potent fresh maca root products that really make a difference for people every day.
Maca keeps well for up to 24 months provided that it is stored in a sealed container out of direct sunlight and at below 70% humidity.
2-8 capsules daily - best taken in the morning - with or without food
Enjoy the day!

The Maca Team
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 :) )
By Lizzie Thompson
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 :)
