FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is raw yellow maca powder?
Raw yellow maca powder is simply dried and ground yellow maca root with no heat applied above 106°F (41°C). This preserves enzymes and heat-sensitive nutrients for those seeking the most natural and traditional form of maca.

How do I use raw yellow maca powder?
Add raw yellow maca powder to smoothies, oatmeal, juice, hot drinks (after cooling slightly), or baked goods. Most people begin with 1 teaspoon daily and gradually increase to 1–3 teaspoons based on need and tolerance.

What benefits can I expect?
Raw yellow maca is traditionally used to support energy, mood, hormonal balance, fertility, stamina, and cognitive clarity for both men and women. Effects build gradually with daily use.

Is raw yellow maca easy to digest?
Raw maca preserves all native starches and enzymes, making it nutritious but slightly harder to digest for some people. If you have a sensitive stomach, you may prefer our gelatinized yellow maca, which is pre-cooked for easier digestion.

How long does it take to feel results?
Many customers notice increased energy and improved mood within 2–4 weeks. Hormonal or fertility-related benefits may take 4–8 weeks of consistent use.

Can beginners use raw maca?
Yes — raw yellow maca is excellent for most people. Start slowly and increase gradually to find your optimal serving. If you are new to maca and prefer a gentler digestive experience, gelatinized maca is a great place to start.

Store in a sealed container away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Properly stored, raw yellow maca keeps fresh for up to 24 months.

I don't remember why I bought this...

It tastes good, but when I think that I am eating ground up dry potato I can't remember why I bought this stuff. Granted, I have hypothyroid so energy is an issue.

Works for Hot Flashes

Posted by patty on 10th Apr 2016

I went thru menopause at 53. Now I am 68 and am having hot flashes like I never had before. I wake up drenched in the middle of the night. And usually have a couple lesser hot flashes in the early evening. I bought your Maca because it's from Peru, besides being organic, and it promised to even out hormones, which my doctor tried to do with birth control pills. I bought the yellow maca because it was most affordable for me. It WORKS! After about three days, the hot flashes were stopping. I still got the evening ones, but not the body drenching night ones. Right away I bought two more bags. This is wonderful stuff. Thank you for making such a fine product. Now the evening ones have practically stopped as well. They have become hardly noticeable. I put it in a smoothie with frozen organic fruit and a bit of Almond Milk, and ice. Tasty.

Start off low dose with food

Posted by RUSS663 on 27th Mar 2016

I foolishly started with 2 tsp. on empty stomach. Terrible craps, diarrhea lasting 2 hours. After that foolish start, I dropped down to 1 tsp, with food. NO MORE PROBLEMS. So please start low. So far I haven't felt much of a difference but it has not been that long. A friend of mine swears by it. So in closing: Start low work up in dose. Eat first. As for shipping: WOW was super fast.

Awesome product!

Posted by Unknown on 26th Mar 2016

I purchased the raw yellow maca powder several weeks ago. I've been taking it every day in my morning kefir and I can really tell a difference in my energy levels. I was having horrendous issues with brain fog and feeling like I needed 3 cups coffee every morning and afternoon. But ever since I exchanged the coffee for the kefir and macaroni, I've had tons more energy, without the crash. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks Maca Team!

Potent but I dont like the taste

Posted by michelle Tan on 13th Jan 2016

this stuff is very potent. I have tried RAw Red and Cooked yellow Maca. this is the first time I'm using Raw yellow Maca and it has a really strong taste. I used to put this in my oatmeal and cereal drinks but I cant with this one because it doesnt taste good. I might go back to Raw Red Maca

Very Potent/ Very cheap

Posted by David on 18th Dec 2015

I am a yogi who finds yellow Maca provides amazing sustained energy, Endocrine adaptogenic qualities, decreased recovery time from physical exersion and a libido enhanser for certain. I ferment the powder in home brewed kombucha for 1 week before consuming to increase bioavailability, (& I like the flavor) also, I take Maca for 3-5 days consecuively then 2-3 days without maca to maximize its effectiveness. *Other competitor's Maca has exibited a fraction of the potency. *shipping has always been prompt with themacateam. Thank you.

Great quality at comparable price

Posted by James Ziegler on 9th Nov 2015

This is a far superior maca to the maca I've previously purchased at my local health food store. The flavor is smoother and it dissolves easily and quickly in water without lumping.

The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace

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!

By Jim Price, The Green Marketing Guru

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

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

By Michelle Gebbia

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

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

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

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

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

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

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

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.

By George & Sherri

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

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.

By J.D.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

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?!?!!!

By Janis Ihrig

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

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

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

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

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

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

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

Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism

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 :)
