Organic Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

Our organic gelatinized red maca powder is made from 100% red maca roots grown in the high Peruvian Andes. The roots are sourced from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junín, Peru, where maca has traditionally been cultivated for generations.

This pure red maca root powder contains no fillers, sweeteners or additives. It is processed with heat and pressure to remove most of its natural starch content, creating a gelatinized maca powder that many people find easier to digest than raw maca.

Key Features of Our Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

  • Certified Organic
  • Fair Trade
  • Non-GMO
  • Vegan and Gluten Free
  • Made from 100% red Peruvian maca root
  • Traditionally grown near Junín, Peru
  • Gelatinized to remove most natural starch
  • No fillers, sweeteners or additives

Why Choose Gelatinized Red Maca Powder?

Gelatinized red maca powder is often chosen by people who want the distinctive red maca variety in a preparation that contains less natural starch than raw maca. Many customers find gelatinized maca easier on the stomach, making it a practical choice for people who are new to maca or have sensitive digestion.

Despite the name, gelatinized maca contains no gelatin or other animal ingredients. “Gelatinized” refers only to the heat-and-pressure process used to break down and remove most of the root’s natural starch. The finished product remains completely plant-based and vegan.

Red maca is one of the three primary maca root colors and has a mild flavor that works well in smoothies, drinks and foods. To learn more about this variety, visit our Red Maca guide.

What Makes This Gelatinized Red Maca Different?

Fresh red maca roots cut open on a board
Fresh red maca roots from Peru.

This product contains only pure gelatinized red maca root powder from Peru. We work directly with growers and producers who follow traditional agricultural practices and careful handling from harvest through production.

The primary difference between gelatinized and raw red maca is preparation. Raw maca retains its natural starches, while gelatinized maca is processed with heat and pressure to remove most of that starch. This changes the composition of the finished powder and makes gelatinized maca more concentrated by weight than raw maca.

If you prefer maca with its natural starches intact, compare this product with our Organic Raw Red Maca Powder.

How to Use Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

Gelatinized red maca powder can be mixed into water, juice, milk, smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal or other foods. Its mild flavor makes it easy to incorporate into a regular daily routine. For additional ideas, visit our collection of maca recipes.

Powder is also generally more economical per serving than capsules and gives you flexibility in how much you use. If you prefer a convenient, pre-measured format or do not enjoy the taste of maca, see our Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules.

The Maca Team Difference

At The Maca Team, we focus exclusively on high-quality Peruvian maca. We work directly with growers and producers in Peru to support careful sourcing, traditional agriculture, and consistent product quality.

Our maca is selected according to strict sourcing and processing guidelines that emphasize purity, traditional cultivation, and transparency. You can learn more about these practices on our Our Standards page.

If you would like to learn more about our story and why we focus exclusively on maca, visit our Our Company page.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store your maca in a sealed container or sealed bag away from direct light, moisture and excess heat. Properly stored, gelatinized red maca powder keeps well for up to 24 months.

Suggested Use

Gelatinized red maca powder is commonly used as a food. Many people begin with 3 grams daily (about 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to 9 grams daily (about 3 teaspoons) based on preference and tolerance. Maca may be mixed with water, juice, milk, smoothies, yogurt or food. For more detailed guidance, visit our complete serving guidelines.

Not Sure Which Maca Is Right for You?

Gelatinized red maca is a good option for people who specifically want red maca powder in a preparation with less natural starch. If you prefer an unheated preparation, compare it with our Organic Raw Red Maca Powder.

You can also explore Red Maca Extract or Gelatinized Red Maca Capsules if another format better fits your routine.

  1. Kenerea Hoskins (verified owner) –

    This product made me hungry and gave me sweet cravings which cause me to gain weight. The one good things tho is the sweet, cumin flavor, making it tasty to the palate, unlike many other supplemental powders.

  2. Pauline (verified owner) –

    I tell all my clients how this Maca became a favorite. I had done endocrine intervention for about 1 yr. However, if you take it your body doesn’t make it. I found this wonderful company, who explains in detail how it helps. I stop taking it every now & then & Always feel better when I take it !!

  3. Megan Church (verified owner) –

    I’ve been taking this supplement for about a month, and I’m happy to have it as part of my daily beauty and wellness routine. I’ve noticed a positive difference overall and plan to keep using it.

  4. Rebeka (verified owner) –

    I can tell the quality is top tier and it came packaged very nicely. This will definitely be my go-to maca powder.

  5. Julie (verified owner) –

    It does not blend well. When mixed with a smoothie you get chunks. My husband uses the black and does not have these issues.

    From The Maca Team: Hi Julie, we’ve reached out via email. Maca is hydrostatic (easily retains water) and sometimes can get a bit clumpy. We try to break those up on packaging but sometimes we don’t get all of them. The clumps will blend up with a blender and don’t affect the efficacy of the root. Let us know how else we can help. Thanks!

  6. Monique Steele (verified owner) –

    I’ve used this brand for years and I must say it’s the best brand ever, the quality is absolutely amazing and mixes very well, I myself bought the powder for various reasons and it really helps me, now I take 3 teaspoons and wow – thank you Maca Team God bless.

  7. Jennifer Durant (verified owner) –

    Maca was recommended by my doctor to help with hormones (perimenopause and menopause). I wish I’d listened sooner. I take rhis product in a warm plant based milk or a smoothie. To me, it has a kind of gentle nutty flavor.

  8. Cat (verified owner) –

    I can’t say enough great things about The Maca team and their products. I love the integrity and practices of the company and the Maca itself is far superior from any other Maca I’ve ever had. The taste is great, but I feel a HUGE difference from the Maca from other companies I’ve had before. I only started using it a few weeks ago so still seeing how it works for hormone balance but it just helps me feel energized and fantastic. Quality durable packaging. Well worth the money.

  9. Shirley Norbryhn (verified owner) –

    Best for my tummy and love it in my green smoothies

  10. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    This is doing exactly what I had hoped it would do for my swollen prostate symptoms: it makes urinating easier and empties the bladder more completely than had been happening before taking it daily.

  11. Amy (verified owner) –

    This was my first time trying maca root. I don’t have anything to compare it to. I don’t think I’ll buy the powder again. I would like to try the pill form. I just can’t handle the taste in my coffee.

  12. Erica Mulford (verified owner) –

    I’ve tried other brands of Maca powder that made me sick as a dog and they tasted horrible. This brand’s product is so well made, I don’t get sick or an upset stomach from it and it actually tastes GOOD. Highly recommend!

  13. Hector Huppertz (verified owner) –

    Good product quality, with quality certificate, excellent customer service.

  14. Don (verified owner) –

    My wife and I have both been using maca products from the maca team for years now. It makes a huge difference with our energy level and overall health. Can’t say enough great things about this company and the quality of the product the maca company

  15. Wendy (verified owner) –

    I like the taste it’s earthy. I’ve been using it for about a month and I believe it is helping with my hormones. I am premenopause and it has helped. I will definitely be ordering again.

  16. Max (verified owner) –

    Great company, quality product with on time delivery every time I order.

  17. Bethany (verified owner) –

    I have been using maca from The Maca Team for many years. It’s has been a key component in balancing my hormones over the years. I even attribute it to a very quick (surprise) pregnancy shortly after getting off of birth control. For reference, I am a registered nurse with extensive background in natural medicine and supplements. This is one of the few that truly produces results The Maca Team has the highest quality maca I have found. I highly recommend it!

  18. Doug Wallace (verified owner) –

    I like the product. Maca is gaining traction as the superfood for those over 40, as it helps with prostate health for men and menopausal imbalances with women. The Maca delivers promptly and offers a good variety of Maca options.

  19. Jessica (verified owner) –

    I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND ordering maca from The Maca Team! The outstanding customer service they give is exceptional. The product is a good value and very high quality. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my life since I started taking Maca powder daily about 2 years ago. I ran out once and I felt like I was plunging off the deep end. My husband promptly ordered me the largest bag available and after I started taking it again I balanced out very quickly. It was remarkable and I have made sure that I don’t run out again. I feel like it gives me extra energy and I believe it does boost my immune system.
    I use this formula every morning: 3 tsp Red Maca powder, 3 tsp Baobab powder, quercetin, zinc, magnesium, 2 TBL lemon juice and stevia. I mix it in a quart jar. It’s delicious and I mix it up first thing in the morning and sip on it while I make my breakfast.
    Thank you Maca Team for providing such high quality products and for caring about your customers!

  20. Wendy Winder (verified owner) –

    I read in one of the reviews that it was the Don Perignon of the maca and it is exactly that. Before I had a hard time drinking maca in smoothies but this is a game changer. I actually look forward when it is time to drink my maca. I have the perfect recipe, unsweetened almond milk, half a banana, 2 tbsp of maca and a scoop of organic chocolate whey protein powder Tera’s whey. So delicious !!

  21. Nancy Brooks –

    Speedy delivery excellent taste got into my system quickly no coffee needed in AM.
    Easy flavor to add to anything

  22. Stephanie (verified owner) –

    I just began using this product 2 days ago. It seems too soon to notice any changes.

  23. Jessica (verified owner) –

    So far been using for a month and it has been great. I had to get used to the taste and when chugging in water get use to a tiny bit of grit. But after a few days to a week of use, my tongue quickly adjusted to the taste and helps me feel alot better. I have better stools, less bloating, and helped me with no negative hormone effects after I came off birth control for 12 years.

  24. Theresa (verified owner) –

    So far it is fantastic

  25. Sharon (verified owner) –

    Very good taste and blends extremely well in my protein shake.

  26. Sydney (verified owner) –

    I have dealt with hormonal imbalance for a long time, and after years of medical treatments and possible prognosis that no one understands, I decided to do my own research. I found this product and thought, “What can it hurt at this point.” Within 4 days, I noticed a significant improvement in mood swings and fertility symptoms. I recommend this product to everyone.

  27. Kristin M (verified owner) –

    I’m already starting to see improvements. Excited to get to month two!

  28. shirley (verified owner) –

    have been buying for years – the best tasting maca

  29. Gayle (verified owner) –

    My husband and I both are using this and we find that it really does up our energy levels. We will continue to make this a part of our daily morning ritual. Excellent product and customer service.

  30. Jenna (verified owner) –

    I ordered the red as recommended by my homeopath to help with regulating hormones. I put it into my coffee every morning. I love it! A little battery operaty whisker gets it all blended well :)

  31. Katie (verified owner) –

    Came as described. Tastes fine in coffee. Definitely increases sex drive so hold on to you’re hats ladies!!!

  32. Erica Dretzin (verified owner) –

    Disappointed. Many hard clumps of powder.
    I think I mistakenly bought this thinking it was premium red maca. I used this for many years and this is the first time I’ve had a disappointment. Otherwise would have given a 5 star rating.

  33. Dia (verified owner) –

    I bought this to help with my weight gain journey & I’m very glad I purchased. This goes great with my protein shakes and breakfast smoothies. & I have seen results.

  34. Judy (verified owner) –

    Helps my mood, my husband loves it to!
    Thanks, Maca Team. Keep up the great work!

  35. Katherine (verified owner) –

    I previously purchased black maca but having my gallbladder removed I opted for the red maca and results are great. I add to my protein shake and it takes time to get used to the taste but you get used to it I love it!

  36. Paul Askett (verified owner) –

    i don’t know what changed but this last shipment of Maca for my wife tastes extremely BAD!!!

  37. Alex Shirk (verified owner) –

    I have had debilitating hormonal issues my entire life. I was prescribed birth control to help with the symptoms but have recently gotten off after almost 20 years and maca has changed my life. I don’t even have pms symptoms anymore, mild to no cramping at all, no mood swings, and a light and short lasting flow. I think every woman should try this! Lastly it does take about a month or two to notice any difference but I’ll never stop using maca now.

  38. Lenin (verified owner) –

    Good product quality

  39. Peggy Albrecht (verified owner) –

    I have personally found this maca to be effective for increasing energy and bone density. It is also easy to take if you have a sensitive stomach.

  40. Jonathan Gimbel (verified owner) –

    Its as good as I got in Peru and that was excellent!

  41. Cyndee helms –

    I have not experienced any sexual arousal after taking 3 weeks. Disappointed about that. Do not have as many hot flashes. Do get energy after taking.

  42. Zoe (verified owner) –

    I recently have had to give up all caffeine and have been looking for an alternative! This is it! I add some into my smoothie every morning and definitely feel a boost of energy without shakiness etc!! It usually last around 4-6 hrs and could easily be added to a drink later to continue the effect!

  43. Consuelo T. Matus (verified owner) –

    I love the purity of this product. I have it everyday and when i miss a day I definitely feel the loss. Great product. Will buy again.

  44. Tierra (verified owner) –

    I had a higher than avg sex drive and man has this made that go through the roof

  45. Tierra (verified owner) –

    I discovered this product from the youtuber Iffy to become thicker and help gain weight and hopefully a bigger pair of boobs. While I didn’t experience anyway weight gain yet man have I been in the mood

  46. Amanda M (verified owner) –

    I have been using this maca powder for months now. I think it’s great. I could taste the quality the first time I tried it. I had tried other brands ultimately this is the one I keep going back to. I definitely feel like it helps my energy and I’m pretty sure it has helped my hair grow in thicker. I even started ordering directly from the sight when for some reason Amazon stopped selling it. I will say the shipping was cheaper with Amazon. I just bought the big bag to keep from having to order too often.

  47. Mary (verified owner) –

    Not sure if I “feel “ anything yet… but I’ll keep trying.

  48. T. Crossley (verified owner) –

    This is my second review for the Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder. I have been taking this product since August 2020 and can say that this product has helped with hot flashes, night sweats and irritability due to menopause. Note: I am not able to take any type of hormone replacement therapy. I started noticing some relief after being on this product in the first 3 weeks. Now, I may get an occasional “hot flash” or “night sweating” but the duration is minimal. The “irritability” and “moodiness” episodes have also been reduced significantly!
    I will continue taking this food supplement.

  49. Esther (verified owner) –

    A friend told me about Maca Root so I found the Macateam online. The website is so helpful to find out which product is right for each individual’s needs. My husband and I have been using the Red Maca Root Powder for more than 3 years now. It is easy to mix in water or add to smoothies. Delivery has been great as well. We live in South Korea and have never had any problems. Thank you Maca team!

  53. Thomas –

    Taste and smells terrible

  54. Betty (verified owner) –

    In the winter of 2013 I was taking maca from this seller to ward off seasonal sadness and it seemed to work; I didn’t get really sad that year. Here in 2020 I’ve been worried about the grim prospects of this winter. Even though it’s still only fall, I went ahead and bought more for the first time since 2013. I’m an extremely skeptical person so I don’t think the placebo effect even works on me, but within days I stopped being as mopey and despondent. More importantly, I was able to break out of the bad thought patterns I’d been stuck in. Either this stuff really works for me or it’s a welcome coincidence! I mostly throw it in the blender with fruit. It’s also fine mixed into oatmeal or peanut butter. It’s not even bad just stirred into a glass of water or juice (but neither would I describe it as pleasurable). Thanks to the purveyors of this fine powdered vegetable!

  55. Jennifer (verified owner) –

    I use this every morning in my breakfast smoothie and I love the taste and after using 3tsp every day for 3 weeks, I am feeling so much better mentally and physically.

  56. T. T. Crossley (verified owner) –

    I started Red Maca Root in August. Started with 4 caps, then 8 caps, then 12 caps. I have noticed the severity of hot flashes has diminished & the flashes do not last as long. I started the powder form & now take 3 teaspoons a day. I am also sleeping better at night because I haven’t had to wake up, multiple times, drenched in sweat. Also not as anxious & moody. I will continue taking the Red Maca Root!

  57. Jeannette Ramos (verified owner) –

    I have been using this product for 6 months.
    I am 61 year old female very active this product helps me through the day.

  58. B. King (verified owner) –

    I was very skeptical of maca at first but after several months of consistent use I have had a definite boost in libido. I will continue to use this product.

  59. Jenifer Durand (verified owner) –

    I purchased this product because I developed a severe reaction to raw maca after using for a few weeks. It had completely eliminated my hot flashes though so I wanted to keep trying. I still am having a slight reaction to the gelatinized but I have learned to time it in my day for better results. I believe the hot flashes are lessening again. Fingers crossed!

  60. Debbi (verified owner) –

    I can definitely tell a difference in my stamina. I wake up easier and am in a consistently better mood

  61. JEANNETTE (verified owner) –

    This is my second bag in 3 months. I sleep better and plenty of energy.

    If you have sensitive taste buds then the powder is not for you. Go with the capsules. Product is great itself. Just the taste is not good, even after I tried it mixed with many things.

    I bought the Red Maca Root Powder about a month ago. I bought it to balance out my hormones since IÕm experiencing hormonal acne. I have seen a change in my skin and I do get energy when I take it. I have experienced calmer moods. I havenÕt been consistently taking it to reap all the benefits but I have seen some changes.

    I’m a 40yr old woman and intially purchased maca for hormonal balancing. I don’t suffer with mood swings or acne but figured since I’m getting older my hormones could use some help. I’m pleased to say I’ve noticed more energy and better sleep. I’ve lost a little weight and lower belly fat. This maca is a winner! The taste may take some getting used to but for anyone who’s tried other brands you know this brand does taste better than others.

    I love this maca! I have a medical condition that impacts my ability to digest food properly (gastroparesis), & am excited to have discovered this Gelatinized Maca.

    Hi,
    I was asked to write this review so here it goes. I have tried the Maca powder for a while and didn’t feel right. Gas, and all that. I took the red and felt a strange sensation in my lower half. I probably am not the normal cause I am sensitive to everything I put in my body. I still might try the liquid version but am tired of throwing things away and buying them again. If I could sample the red in liquid form I might try it. On the upside, the Maca Team is VERY professional and always respond and seems like a very good company. Cindy answered all my questions. For those considering Maca, this is the company for sure : )

    I started taking Maca using 1/2 tsp once a day to help balance out my hormones and to help decrease breakout from birth control pills. I tried the raw powder but had to switch to gelatanized due to stomach cramps. I haven’t had many issues on the gelatanized. I have since lost weight, I also exercise but wasn’t really losing weight as much as inches prior to Maca. My skin definitely doesn’t break out as much. My only concern is that my cycle has been prolonged, but this is just the first month so things may even out later.

  75. Michelle –

    Thank you, Maca Team! I am now expecting after taking your product for 4 weeks. I am feeling great and will continue it throughout my pregnancy. I did not care for the taste so I encapsulated it myself. Next time I will buy the capsules:)

    The gelatinized red maca powder from Maca Team is the best maca I ever tried. I bought some maca at GNC and it upset my stomach so much and made me feel awful. The taste was terrible as well. I will buy again and again from Maca Team.

  77. TJ –

    This is the first Maca for me. I started researching it & my searches kept landing on this website. I figured theyÕve either got some crazy intense marketing or maybe they really know their Maca. It was most definitely the latter.

    IÕve been using the gelatinized (because IÕve got Òone of thoseÓ stomachs) & so far so good! I appreciate that they broke it down on their site for who should take which type. ItÕs been great in settling on my stomach (no problems at all) & IÕve noticed an increase in my energy in the first month. When I contacted them with some questions, I got an immediate & detailed response. And I just ordered another pouch! I donÕt have other products to compare it to, but my experience so far has been stellar! IÕve already been telling others about it.

    Thanks!
    Haven’t tried the product, so can’t testify how it works, but I’ve tried it on the tip of my finger and it’s just taselte like a nut powder.

    I had other maca before. I had much sideeffects or no effects, So I always must change products or discontinue. But I knew that maca is good for my problems This red maca from Macateam has very good effects and only little sideeffects in the beginning. I am so happy and will order more.

ItÍs been great in settling on my stomach (no problems at all) & IÍve noticed an increase in my energy in the first month. When I contacted them with some questions, I got an immediate & detailed response. And I just ordered another pouch! I donÍt have other products to compare it to, but my experience so far has been stellar! IÍve already been telling others about it.

    This maca powder has basically replaced my coffee habit. I add 1-2 teaspoons to my morning smoothie and I feel so energized for the day ahead. (I actually have to be careful not to take maca too late in the afternoon or else it will keep me up at night)
    Overall, this maca powder has a great, mild taste that doesn’t overpower my smoothies. I’ve enjoyed adding this to my daily supplement routine!

    What a difference Red Maca makes. It’s the difference between night and day. Without the Maca, I experience a mild low mood with a lack of energy and focus. With the Maca, I experience a balanced and energized day. Such a gentle and natural lift for the support I require. Mix the powder with water only to reap the benefits directly and quickly. Anything more, and you are giving your body more to deal with to try and access the elements that make Red Maca great.

    The Maca powder itself is very good quality and has definitely improved my female hormonal system. My period is much lighter and I don’t really have any physical symptoms anymore with it. I was underweight and with a mixture of black and red powder was able to start putting on muscle within 3 days. Unfortunately international postage is extremely expensive.

    I have been taking the gelatinized red maca powder every day for approximately 3 weeks. How I do it is mix 1 tablespoon each of: maca powder, cocoa powder and collagen powder in a small bowl. Add 15 grams of coconut oil, a few drops of stevia sweetener and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt and stir. It will be thick-ish. I spread it on a small piece of foil and freeze for about a minute (can freeze for much longer if you want) and eat like chocolate bar for breakfast each day. As of now, I have seen no results at all from taking the maca. I give it 3 starts because the taste is good, and I have hope that I will eventually see results.

    If there is something inherently wrong with how I’m taking it which could help to explain my lack of results (ex – does it have to be dissolved in a liquid?) please let me know.

    I have been struggling with fibromyalgia for years and this is the first supplement that I have found that really really helps. My energy levels are up, and my muscles actually feel better. I can definitely tell on days when I am unable to use it. And as an added bonus, the taste is absolutely amazing–very much like a sweet caramel flavor to me. I cannot say enough amazing words about this product and I am forever grateful to the maca team for what they do.

    We have been using MACA for many years now. We used to have a supplier that sold us gold MACA at twice the price.
    The red Maca has a better taste, is fresh, well packaged and we are dealing with friendly, loving people.

    My husband and I have been using a combo of both the gelatinized red and black maca. We take approximately 1 Tb of each mixed with almond milk. Do this 4 or 5 mornings a week. We both notice that our energy is more consistent throughout the day and we are both sleeping better at night. Also less brain fog. I definitely have an increase in sex drive as well (my hubby is very happy about that

    I purchased gelatinized red for an energy boost which in turn supported me with mild mood issues. I can hardly sit still anymore and love to work on projects around the house. I find myself putting in a full day of activity and going strong until early evening. I told my doctor about how it helped me and he ordered it for his whole office. All of his staff have it every morning in their coffee. He knew of the product growing up in Peru and said his mother used to take it and she could clean a mean house. I have recommended it to others and everyone has had positive results.

    I love this maca and would not switch to any other brand. It doesn’t bother my tummy at all and it has a pleasant taste unlike others that I have tried. Not to mention the results are amazing! It’s worth every penny for such a good quality.

    We began adding maca to our smoothies after learning about it as a traditional dried and powdered root vegetable. We tried several suppliers before settling on The Maca Team. They offer several varieties, so we sampled them all and eventually chose the red maca. We mix one tablespoon each into our smoothies six days a week and are now well into our third bag.

    The red maca has become one of the simple foods we really value in our routine. I especially noticed the difference while riding my bicycle. In the past, my legs often felt heavy, but now they feel stronger and more responsive. I am not saying they feel merely “okay” — I notice real strength.

    We appreciate the quality, the variety, and the good service from The Maca Team.

    Previously had tried the Raw Organic Red Maca Powder and it worked wonders. Felt the benefits after a short time. This time I got the Gelatinized because I have a sensitive stomach but I have received absolutely no noticeable benefits from it. Only reason I took one star away.

    It still tastes absolutely horrible – nothing I mix it with will disguise the taste.

    Would like to try the capsules next but am concerned it wouldn’t give me the benefits as the Raw and I wasted more money. Almost finished the Gelatinized so might go back to the Raw for the benefits.

    I’ve been purchasing the Organic Gelatinized Sundried Red Maca Powder for about 8 months now and I LOVE IT! I suffer with fibromyalgia and generally have pain in all my joints. Since taking the ORGANIC GELATINIZED SUNDRIED RED MACA POWDER, my symptoms have gone. I literally cannot go without it. It has been a total life saver for me. I started out slow with just one teaspoon a day in my morning smoothie and now I’m up to 3 teaspoons a day. When I run out, I give myself a break for about a week and then order a new bag and go back on it. It’s the best stuff ever. Thank you Maca Team for saving my life!

    Now I had taken a maca root gelatized from another source prior to this red maca gelatinized. But this tastes much better. I so far have to take very small amounts though. So that tells me this is much stronger source.

    After a major life transition, I found myself trying to feel like myself again. I researched natural, food-based options and found an article about Red Maca that recommended The Maca Team for producing quality maca.

    I started taking Gelatinized Red Maca on April 4th and knew I needed to give it a good 4–6 weeks. I began with a teaspoon and worked my way up to one tablespoon within a few weeks. I mix it with 2 ounces of NingXia Red Goji wolfberry juice. It does not taste terrific, but I would not stop taking it for anything.

    Red Maca has been great for me. After about four weeks, I noticed a real improvement in my energy. A couple of weeks later, I felt more comfortable, more steady, and more present in my daily life. I have energy throughout the day and feel better overall. I’m very grateful for this product and plan to keep using it.

    I just started using my gelatinized red maca powder, so I can’t say I’m seeing any noticeable effects from it just yet. I do have high hopes that it will help with lots of my issues including acne and hormonal imbalance. I will say I’m impressed with how good it smells and how discrete it is in food and drinks. I’ve mixed it in smoothies, peanut butter, coconut milk, and other various foods and have not been able to taste it at all. Although stirring alone does not dissolve the contents. You must put in closed cup and shake it up. So far I’m pleased. Now just waiting to see this maca magic happen!

    So far this product has been great. I’ll probably order the capsules next time just because it’ll be easier to take. I did notice I was bloated the first 2 days I took it, but that’s because I mixed it in with my morning milkshake, after that I just took it in my water bottle and problem solved. The reason why Im not giving it a 5start, yet is, my doctors appointment isn’t in a month or so, then I’ll know if it helped my thyroid issue.

    I’ve been using the yellow maca for quite some time. I enjoy mixing it in my Bulletproof tea and my hubby uses it his morning smoothie or Bulletproof coffee. I recently learned that I have a goiter so I switched to the red maca as that is recommended in these circumstances. Love the taste and energy that this quality maca provides!

    I really can’t describe this product better than what the Maca Team already does on their site. I can, however, definitely say that it does all they claim and tastes wonderful — I LOVE the caramel-like taste in my morning smoothies. I’ve even used it in hot cereals (cream of buckwheat, oatmeal, etc), as well as puddings — delicious and SO good for you. This company is also just wonderful — everything about them from where they source, their philosophy on production, and how detailed, prompt, and friendly their customer service is. They have an Amazon storefront called Five Foods LLC, which is going to have more products (in addition to Maca) later this year, and I’m very excited to begin purchasing from there as well. Definitely an impressed, grateful, and loyal customer!

    I am 55 and started having frequent, intense hot flashes more than a year ago, suffering the sleep disturbances and reduced quality of life that go along with them. For almost a year I took low-dose birth control pills for relief, but when the prescription ran out I decided to find a non-pharmaceutical solution. About a month ago, I decided to give The Maca Team’s red maca a try after experimenting with many other natural remedies (apple cider vinegar, black cohosh, fish oil, progesterone cream, various vitamins and minerals …) with limited success. At this point I feel ready to say that this is that rare product that actually helps significantly.

    Following The Maca Team’s advice, I started out with a small amount and gradually increased the daily dose. I am now taking 3 teaspoons total per day (1 1/2 teaspoons in the morning and the same amount in the afternoon). I experience very few hot flashes during the day, although I’m still getting several per night. As an experiment, I tried upping the daily amount to 2 tablespoons — 1 tablespoon first thing in the morning and another in mid-afternoon. After each dose, I enjoyed 6 hours completely hot flash-free! The downside was that I had trouble getting to sleep at night, so I’ve gone back to 3 teaspoons per day. I’ll continue fine-tuning the amounts and times until I find what works best for me.

    I have also experimented with how I take the maca. My favorite way is to put it into a mug, pour hot tea over it and stir till the maca is completely dissolved, and then add a splash of almond milk. I think it tastes great this way!

    I just placed another order for red maca — this time the raw kind, to see if I notice any difference — and fully expect to experience continued benefits from it. Thank you, Maca Team!

    I ordered the red gelatinized maca for myself after doing alot of research to find out what would help my out of control hormones, breakouts, mood swings, irregular menstrual cycles etc. After about 5 days I could tell a slight difference in my mood and energy. Now I’ve been taking maca every morning for about a month. I’ve noticed more of a change in energy, better sleep, increased libido, better focus, less breakouts, even better stabilized mood and with my first cycle it was actually more on the “normal” side. I’ll continue to take maca and have been recommending it to a lot of my friends and family. I’ll be ordering more soon.

    I had been trying plant based solutions for my horrible hot flash sweats and sleeplessness but they continued to worsen to the point where I would have over 40 per 24 hour period! I was miserable! Finally I stumbled upon a product with some maca root in it which got me to researching maca as a solution…and finally led me to the Maca Team web page. I did two things: I completely eliminated ALL SOY from my diet, and began taking the red gelatinized Maca powder in my oatmeal in the morning. After 10 days all my night sweats and sleeplessness, cotton mouth, hot flashes during the day completely disappeared! Nothing short of amazing! Other changes I notice include increased energy level, clearer thinking and the softest silkiest skin I have had in years. Maca has really made the difference for me!

    I have been taking this product for about one month now and already feel so much better. My mood swings are under control.

    I started taking Maca using 1/2 tsp once a day to help balance out my hormones and to help decrease breakout from birth control pills. I tried the raw powder but had to switch to gelatanized due to stomach cramps. I haven’t had many issues on the gelatanized. I have since lost weight, I also exercise but wasn’t really losing weight as much as inches prior to Maca. My skin definitely doesn’t break out as much. My only concern is that my cycle has been prolonged, but this is just the first month so things may even out later.

    I have been taking the gelatinized red maca powder every day for approximately 3 weeks. How I do it is mix 1 tablespoon each of: maca powder, cocoa powder and collagen powder in a small bowl. Add 15 grams of coconut oil, a few drops of stevia sweetener and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt and stir. It will be thick-ish. I spread it on a small piece of foil and freeze for about a minute (can freeze for much longer if you want) and eat like chocolate bar for breakfast each day. As of now, I have seen no results at all from taking the maca. I give it 3 starts because the taste is good, and I have hope that I will eventually see results.

    If there is something inherently wrong with how I’m taking it which could help to explain my lack of results (ex – does it have to be dissolved in a liquid?) please let me know.

    I have been struggling with fibromyalgia for years and this is the first supplement that I have found that really really helps. My energy levels are up, and my muscles actually feel better. I can definitely tell on days when I am unable to use it. And as an added bonus, the taste is absolutely amazing–very much like a sweet caramel flavor to me. I cannot say enough amazing words about this product and I am forever grateful to the maca team for what they do.

    We have been using MACA for many years now. We used to have a supplier that sold us gold MACA at twice the price.
    The red Maca has a better taste, is fresh, well packaged and we are dealing with friendly, loving people.
    What more can you ask for?
    Thanks for all you do.

    My husband and I have been using a combo of both the gelatinized red and black maca. We take approximately 1 Tb of each mixed with almond milk. Do this 4 or 5 mornings a week. We both notice that our energy is more consistent throughout the day and we are both sleeping better at night. Also less brain fog. I definitely have an increase in sex drive as well (my hubby is very happy about that

    I purchased gelatinized red for an energy boost which in turn helped with low mood. I can hardly sit still anymore and love to work on projects around the house. I find myself putting in a full day of activity and going strong until early evening. I told my doctor about how it helped me and he ordered it for his whole office. All of his staff have it every morning in their coffee. He knew of the product growing up in Peru and said his mother used to take it and she could clean a mean house. I have recommended it to others and everyone has had positive results.

  182. Audie –

    I love this maca and would not switch to any other brand. It doesn’t bother my tummy at all and it has a pleasant taste unlike others that I have tried. Not to mention the results are amazing! It’s worth every penny for such a good quality.

    We began adding maca to our smoothies after reading about it as a traditional dried and powdered root vegetable. We tried several suppliers before settling on The Maca Team. They offer several varieties, so we sampled them and eventually chose the red maca. We mix one tablespoon each into our smoothies six days a week and are now well into our third bag.

    What stood out to us was the quality and consistency. The red maca became an easy part of our routine, along with a few other simple foods and supplements we already use. I especially noticed a difference in how I felt during everyday activity. My legs felt stronger, and I had more energy on my bicycle than I had felt in a long time.

    We appreciate The Maca Team’s quality and service and are glad we found a maca source we trust.

    Previously had tried the Raw Organic Red Maca Powder and it worked wonders. Felt the benefits after a short time. This time I got the Gelatinized because I have a sensitive stomach but I have received absolutely no noticeable benefits from it. Only reason I took one star away.

    It still tastes absolutely horrible – nothing I mix it with will disguise the taste.

    Would like to try the capsules next but am concerned it wouldn’t give me the benefits as the Raw and I wasted more money. Almost finished the Gelatinized so might go back to the Raw for the benefits.

    I’ve been purchasing the Organic Gelatinized Sundried Red Maca Powder for about 8 months now and I LOVE IT! I suffer with fibromyalgia and generally have pain in all my joints. Since taking the ORGANIC GELATINIZED SUNDRIED RED MACA POWDER, my symptoms have gone. I literally cannot go without it. It has been a total life saver for me. I started out slow with just one teaspoon a day in my morning smoothie and now I’m up to 3 teaspoons a day. When I run out, I give myself a break for about a week and then order a new bag and go back on it. It’s the best stuff ever. Thank you Maca Team for saving my life!

    Now I had taken a maca root gelatized from another source prior to this red maca gelatinized. But this tastes much better. I so far have to take very small amounts though. So that tells me this is much stronger source.

    After a major life transition, I started researching natural, food-based ways to feel more like myself again and found an article about Red Maca that recommended The Maca Team for quality maca. I started taking Gelatinized Red Maca on April 4th and knew I needed to give it a good 4–6 weeks. I began with a teaspoon and worked my way up to one tablespoon within a few weeks. I mix it with a small amount of NingXia Red Goji wolfberry juice. It does not taste terrific, but I would not stop taking it.

    Red Maca has made a real difference for me. After about four weeks, I noticed more energy. A couple of weeks later, I felt more comfortable in my body, more connected in my relationship, and more like myself again. I have energy throughout the day, feel happier, and feel better overall. I’m still working on some things, but I’m very grateful for this product and plan to keep using it.

    I don’t think I’ve noticed much of a difference yet, but it’s only been a couple of weeks. Love the taste of this maca though and will definitely keep taking it. It’s the best I’ve tried!

    I just started using my gelatinized red maca powder, so I can’t say I’m seeing any noticeable effects from it just yet. I do have high hopes that it will help with lots of my issues including acne and hormonal imbalance. I will say I’m impressed with how good it smells and how discrete it is in food and drinks. I’ve mixed it in smoothies, peanut butter, coconut milk, and other various foods and have not been able to taste it at all. Although stirring alone does not dissolve the contents. You must put in closed cup and shake it up. So far I’m pleased. Now just waiting to see this maca magic happen!

    Good quality maca. The raw maca upset my stomach, so I switched to the gelatinized. I’ve had no problems with it.

    So far this product has been great. I’ll probably order the capsules next time just because it’ll be easier to take. I did notice I was bloated the first 2 days I took it, but that’s because I mixed it in with my morning milkshake, after that I just took it in my water bottle and problem solved. The reason why Im not giving it a 5start, yet is, my doctors appointment isn’t in a month or so, then I’ll know if it helped my thyroid issue.

  202. Lisa –

    I’ve been using the yellow maca for quite some time. I enjoy mixing it in my Bulletproof tea and my hubby uses it his morning smoothie or Bulletproof coffee. I recently learned that I have a goiter so I switched to the red maca as that is recommended in these circumstances. Love the taste and energy that this quality maca provides!

  203. Mary –

    I’ve been using this product for several months now and I feel there is a difference. It tastes great and gives me a little pick me up when I need one. Naturally without caffeine. I add it to my matcha green tea lattes and smoothies.

    I really can’t describe this product better than what the Maca Team already does on their site. I can, however, definitely say that it does all they claim and tastes wonderful — I LOVE the caramel-like taste in my morning smoothies. I’ve even used it in hot cereals (cream of buckwheat, oatmeal, etc), as well as puddings — delicious and SO good for you. This company is also just wonderful — everything about them from where they source, their philosophy on production, and how detailed, prompt, and friendly their customer service is. They have an Amazon storefront called Five Foods LLC, which is going to have more products (in addition to Maca) later this year, and I’m very excited to begin purchasing from there as well. Definitely an impressed, grateful, and loyal customer!

    I am 55 and started having frequent, intense hot flashes more than a year ago, suffering the sleep disturbances and reduced quality of life that go along with them. For almost a year I took low-dose birth control pills for relief, but when the prescription ran out I decided to find a non-pharmaceutical solution. About a month ago, I decided to give The Maca Team’s red maca a try after experimenting with many other natural remedies (apple cider vinegar, black cohosh, fish oil, progesterone cream, various vitamins and minerals …) with limited success. At this point I feel ready to say that this is that rare product that actually helps significantly.

    Following The Maca Team’s advice, I started out with a small amount and gradually increased the daily dose. I am now taking 3 teaspoons total per day (1 1/2 teaspoons in the morning and the same amount in the afternoon). I experience very few hot flashes during the day, although I’m still getting several per night. As an experiment, I tried upping the daily amount to 2 tablespoons — 1 tablespoon first thing in the morning and another in mid-afternoon. After each dose, I enjoyed 6 hours completely hot flash-free! The downside was that I had trouble getting to sleep at night, so I’ve gone back to 3 teaspoons per day. I’ll continue fine-tuning the amounts and times until I find what works best for me.

    I have also experimented with how I take the maca. My favorite way is to put it into a mug, pour hot tea over it and stir till the maca is completely dissolved, and then add a splash of almond milk. I think it tastes great this way!

    I just placed another order for red maca — this time the raw kind, to see if I notice any difference — and fully expect to experience continued benefits from it. Thank you, Maca Team!

    I ordered the red gelatinized maca for myself after doing alot of research to find out what would help my out of control hormones, breakouts, mood swings, irregular menstrual cycles etc. After about 5 days I could tell a slight difference in my mood and energy. Now I’ve been taking maca every morning for about a month. I’ve noticed more of a change in energy, better sleep, increased libido, better focus, less breakouts, even better stabilized mood and with my first cycle it was actually more on the “normal” side. I’ll continue to take maca and have been recommending it to a lot of my friends and family. I’ll be ordering more soon.

    I had been trying plant based solutions for my horrible hot flash sweats and sleeplessness but they continued to worsen to the point where I would have over 40 per 24 hour period! I was miserable! Finally I stumbled upon a product with some maca root in it which got me to researching maca as a solution…and finally led me to the Maca Team web page. I did two things: I completely eliminated ALL SOY from my diet, and began taking the red gelatinized Maca powder in my oatmeal in the morning. After 10 days all my night sweats and sleeplessness, cotton mouth, hot flashes during the day completely disappeared! Nothing short of amazing! Other changes I notice include increased energy level, clearer thinking and the softest silkiest skin I have had in years. Maca has really made the difference for me!

    I have been taking this product for about one month now and already feel so much better. My mood swings are under control. I am happy to say I do not need to be taking birth control pills and pump my body with synthetic hormones anymore. It is a great feeling to be independent of all that and feel great.

    This maca powder has basically replaced my coffee habit. I add 1-2 teaspoons to my morning smoothie and I feel so energized for the day ahead. (I actually have to be careful not to take maca too late in the afternoon or else it will keep me up at night)
    Overall, this maca powder has a great, mild taste that doesn’t overpower my smoothies. I’ve enjoyed adding this to my daily supplement routine!

    What a difference Red Maca makes. It’s the difference between night and day. Without the Maca, I experience a low mood with a lack of energy and focus. With the Maca, I experience a balanced and energized day. Such a gentle and natural lift for the support I require. Mix the powder with water only to reap the benefits directly and quickly. Anything more, and you are giving your body more to deal with to try and access the elements that make Red Maca great.

    I have been taking the gelatinized red maca powder every day for approximately 3 weeks. How I do it is mix 1 tablespoon each of: maca powder, cocoa powder and collagen powder in a small bowl. Add 15 grams of coconut oil, a few drops of stevia sweetener and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt and stir. It will be thick-ish. I spread it on a small piece of foil and freeze for about a minute (can freeze for much longer if you want) and eat like chocolate bar for breakfast each day. As of now, I have seen no results at all from taking the maca. I give it 3 starts because the taste is good, and I have hope that I will eventually see results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gelatinized red maca powder?

Gelatinized red maca powder is made from red maca roots that have been processed with heat and pressure to remove most of their natural starch content. Our powder is made from 100% red Peruvian maca root with no fillers, sweeteners or additives.

What does “gelatinized” mean in maca powder?

“Gelatinized” refers to the preparation process used to remove most of maca’s natural starch. It does not mean gelatin has been added. Gelatinized maca remains completely plant-based and vegan.

How is gelatinized red maca different from raw red maca powder?

The main difference is preparation. Raw red maca retains its natural starches, while gelatinized red maca is processed with heat and pressure to remove most of that starch. Many people choose gelatinized maca because they find it easier to digest than raw maca.

Is gelatinized red maca better than raw red maca?

Neither preparation is inherently better for everyone. Gelatinized red maca contains less natural starch and is often preferred by people with sensitive digestion, while raw red maca retains its natural starches. The best choice depends on your personal preference and tolerance. See our raw vs. gelatinized maca guide for a detailed comparison.

Who often chooses gelatinized red maca powder?

Gelatinized red maca powder is commonly chosen by people who are new to maca, have sensitive digestion, or simply prefer a red maca powder with most of the natural starch removed. Its mild flavor also makes it easy to use in smoothies, drinks and foods.

How do I use gelatinized red maca powder?

Gelatinized red maca powder can be mixed into water, juice, milk, smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal or other foods. For additional ideas, visit our maca recipes.

How much gelatinized red maca powder should I take each day?

Many people begin with 3 grams daily, about 1 teaspoon, and gradually increase to 9 grams daily, about 3 teaspoons, based on preference and tolerance. For more detailed guidance, see our maca dosage guide.

Does gelatinized red maca powder contain gelatin?

No. Gelatinized maca contains no animal gelatin. The term “gelatinized” describes the heat-and-pressure processing method used to remove most of the root’s natural starch. The finished powder remains vegan.

What does gelatinized red maca powder taste like?

Red maca has a mild, earthy flavor that blends easily into smoothies, drinks, yogurt and other foods.

Is this gelatinized red maca powder organic?

Yes. Our gelatinized red maca powder is made from 100% red Peruvian maca root and is certified Organic, Fair Trade, non-GMO, vegan and gluten free.

How should gelatinized red maca powder be stored?

Store gelatinized red maca powder in a sealed container or sealed bag away from direct light, moisture and excess heat. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of up to 24 months.

Where can I learn more about red maca?
