Yellow maca
I have to say that initially I bought the yellow maca for it's price (tight budget, I usually get the red one) but I got to tell you it's super good. I get tons of energy my hormone are still very stabilize. I only been having it for 2 weeks, so when I finish it I'll come back and give you my full observations.

Not sure?
I just happened to come across Maca and out of curiosity I got excited about what I read and ordered from this company. I really don't mind the taste and have stayed consistent in drinking mine with iced tea and just cold water and even juice. I guess my expecections where too high? I wanted to feel energised and to notice a difference in the way I normally feel! Like a tired fatiqued old old lady! I was so thrilled to read about the black Maca and for men's prostrate health I ordered that and the yellow for my father and had it shipped for his B-day gift. He said he has to wait before he can try it . I have half a bag more to enjoy. I am going to try the red next even though not sure about this yellow Maca.

Love this Maca Powder...
I was looking for a quality and trusted maker of Maca powder and came across an online user of maca powder and suggested The Maca Team. So without hesitation I ordered this powder and have not regretted my purchase. My order came about a week after ordering and was very impressed with the amount of time it took to be delivered. Energy level is great and will be a customer for a long time to come. It's great to have such a great team to work with should there be any concerns or questions I may have and that for me was the determining factor in becoming a customer. Thank you Maca Team I appreciate all you do to bring a quality Maca Powder to all of us customers much success to all of you.

Absolutely Amazing!
A few years ago when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I started my journey with maca. Maca's amazing ability to assist the thyroid (among other things) is the reason I chose it. I needed it to be the best Maca that I could find and The Maca Team has the best. The taste isn't overpowering and I can easily mix it in my smoothies. Also, I love that it ships fast and I don't have to wait! Love love love it!

TRUSTED SUPPLIER!!!!!!!
In truth, I am very delighted at how everything has turned out with all my orders, specially the last one a few days ago. My deepest appreciation is for Cyndi who with selflessness and exemplary efforts made my purchase a success. I recommend The Maca Team as being the very best to order organic Maca Root. From the beginning of my business relationship as a consumer with The Maca Team one year ago, I have admired their hard work and learned to trust them because their character represents a marvelous new breed of entrepreneurs and professionals who are not limited by the rather very difficult and risky working environment in Peru and the world to keep their commitment to advance sustainability and good causes of people and the planet. I pray de grace of God over their lives and their business. Below, I highlight a remarkable article by Seth Godin that mirrors the outstanding legacy The Maca Team is building to last for generations. Guillermo Rivera-Chavez San Antonio, Texas ** Off the hook with Milton Friedman Nearly fifty years ago, Milton Friedman published a polemic, an article that altered the way many people think about corporations and their role in society. Countless writers have explained why it's poorly reasoned, dangerous and wrong. (Including business school deans, Harvard Business Review and Fortune). The simple message of the simple article was: “there is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits..." Friedman does add a parenthetical, "so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud,” but it's clear that his emphasis is on the first part. Businesses, he argues, should show no corporate responsibility, do nothing to further the goals of an ethical society, do nothing to improve the lives of customers, employees or bystanders—unless these actions coincidentally maximize profits. An interesting question that most people haven't focused on: why did this dangerous idea catch on and stick around so long? Here it is 2017, and the Chairman of one of the largest pharma companies in the country is gleefully telling patients and the FDA to live with the costs of his profit seeking, at the same time he pays his CEO more than $95 million a year. Because he can, and, like many who lucked into top jobs at big companies, because his excuse is simple: He's just doing his job. If the idea is so wrong, if it leads to an erosion of the social contract and the deaths of innocent kids, why are we still discussing it? Because it's simple, because it diminishes responsibility, and because it comes with prizes and warm chocolate cookies for those in charge. The simplicity of the argument matches up with its mendacity. There's no need to worry about nuance, no need to lose sleep over choices, no endless laundry list of social ills to worry about. Just make more profit. Do this, get that. A simple compass, a north star, a direction to go that absolves the employee/boss of responsibility for anything complicated or nuanced. People love mechanical simplicity, especially when it benefits them. The official rules of baseball are more than 250 pages long. Why? Because working the system, cutting corners and winning at all costs long ago replaced playing by the spirit of the game. Since the league can't count on people to act like people acting on behalf of the community, they have to create ever more rules to keep the system in check. The problem is far worse in a supposed free market. When humans stop acting like humans and instead indicate that they have no choice but to seek every short-term benefit and cut every possible corner, we can no longer trust each other to act responsibly. Off the hook feels like a simple way out. "I'm just doing my job, and not thinking hard about the side effects (or to be more accurate, the effects) of my actions. Not only that, but one of the things that's part of my job is lobbying to have fewer rules. Because working the refs is good business. And because everyone is doing it, I have no choice but to do it too." Of course, it's difficult for us to solely blame poor Milton. Lots of us have bad ideas, I've certainly had plenty. No, we need to blame ourselves for letting selfish corporate officers get away with this reasoning. When we go to work, or partner with, or buy stock in a company that signs up for Milton reasoning, we're rewarding people who have long ago stopped acting like people. Profits are fine, they enable the investment we need to produce value. But almost nothing benefits from being the only thing we seek, and the pursuit of profit at the expense of our humanity is too high a price to pay. Here's a different version: A business is a construct, an association of human beings combining capital and labor to make something. That business has precisely the same social responsibilities as the people that it consists of. The responsibility to play fairly, to see the long-term impacts of its actions and to create value for all those it engages with.

Can't stand the taste
It ruins my food which I hate dumping down the sink (waste of money on a small budget). And it leaves an after taste in my mouth despite brushing my teeth & tongue!
