Our Organic Gelatinized Yellow Maca Capsules contain yellow maca root powder grown in the high Andes of Peru. Each vegan capsule provides 750 mg of gelatinized yellow maca in a convenient format that requires no measuring or mixing.
Gelatinization uses heat and pressure to remove much of maca’s naturally occurring starch. This creates a pre-cooked form of maca that some people prefer when raw maca is more difficult for them to digest.
Gelatinized Yellow Maca Capsules contain yellow maca root (Lepidium meyenii) that has undergone an additional preparation step before being milled into powder and encapsulated. The gelatinization process removes much of the root’s natural starch while retaining the maca in a convenient powdered form.
Despite the name, gelatinized maca contains no gelatin. Our capsules are made with vegetable cellulose and are suitable for vegans.
Learn more about this maca variety in our yellow maca guide.
The yellow maca roots are traditionally grown in the high Peruvian Andes. After drying, the maca undergoes gelatinization using heat and pressure. This removes most of the naturally occurring starch and produces the gelatinized maca powder used in these capsules.
Gelatinized maca differs from raw maca because it has been pre-cooked during processing. This makes it a popular option for people who prefer a maca product with less natural starch.
Yellow maca is the most common of the three primary maca colors, along with red and black. It has been used for generations as a traditional food in the high Andes of Peru.
Maca root naturally contains amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and distinctive plant compounds including macaenes and macamides. Yellow maca is commonly chosen by people looking to support energy, stamina, mood, focus and overall vitality as part of a daily wellness routine.
Two things define this product: it is made exclusively from yellow maca roots, and the maca has been gelatinized.
Raw maca retains its naturally occurring starch. During gelatinization, much of that starch is removed through a controlled heat-and-pressure process. Some people who find raw maca difficult to digest prefer gelatinized maca for this reason.
Both raw and gelatinized maca are popular choices, and the best option generally depends on personal preference, digestion and how you prefer to use maca.
Capsules provide a convenient way to use maca without measuring powder or mixing it into foods and beverages. Each capsule contains a consistent 750 mg amount of gelatinized yellow maca root powder.
Capsules are also useful for travel, work and for people who prefer not to taste maca powder. If you prefer mixing maca into smoothies, beverages or recipes, we also offer Organic Gelatinized Yellow Maca Powder.
Each capsule contains 750 mg of gelatinized yellow maca root powder.
The suggested use is 1–4 capsules daily, preferably in the morning with food. For additional guidance, visit our maca dosage guide.

I absolutely noticed a difference when taking these. I feel happier and have more energy when I take these in the morning.
Drew Kincius (verified owner) –
I’ve been using maca root for years, but maca powder continued to be a bit cumbersome when it comes to travel. These pills make it so much easier to take maca, and you can tell that it’s of the highest quality. Pills are not giant! They are very easy to get down.
Judy (verified owner) –
I’ve been using the Yellow Gelatinized Maca for over 10 years now and I’ll NEVER stop!! I can go on and on about how great this stuff is, but I’m 60 years old and I haven’t been sick in years, and that includes Covid, without being vaccinated. My energy, mood and health has improved and I always know when I don’t take my Maca.
This is the BEST COMPANY to work with and I’ve never been happier with their products and customer service!!! Gold Star – Top Quality- Absolutely Amazing!!!!
