Description
Red Maca Liquid Extract – Vegan, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Organic and Alcohol-Free
What Is Red Maca Liquid Extract?
Red maca liquid extract is made from red maca roots (Lepidium meyenii) grown in the high Andes of Peru and extracted into a vegetable glycerin base. This creates a concentrated red maca extract that is easy to use, portable, and naturally sweet tasting.
Unlike maca powders or chips, liquid maca extract is designed for quick, convenient use. It can be taken directly by dropper or added to a small amount of liquid.
Overview 
Our liquid red maca extract is made with just two ingredients: certified organic red maca root and vegetable glycerin. This combination produces a concentrated extract that is easy to take on the go and simple to incorporate into a daily routine.
The extract has a naturally sweet taste from the glycerin base and is alcohol-free, vegan, and gluten free.

Why Some Customers Choose Red Maca Extract
- Convenience: the liquid format is easy to carry and simple to take without mixing into a recipe.
- No starch from the whole root form: the extraction process creates a format that many customers find easy to use.
- Pleasant taste: the glycerin base gives the extract a mild, sweet flavor.
- Flexible use: it may be taken directly by dropper or added to a small amount of liquid.
- Pairs well with other maca products: some customers use extracts on their own, while others combine them with powders or capsules.
How Is Red Maca Extract Different From Red Maca Powder?
Both powders and extracts are made from red maca roots, but they differ in preparation and use.
Powder is the most common form of maca and is typically mixed into smoothies, drinks, or recipes. Extract is the most convenient form to take directly. Many customers like liquid extract because it is portable, simple to use, and does not require preparation.
Powder may be the better option for customers who enjoy using maca in food or drinks, while extract may be a better fit for customers who want a more compact, ready-to-use format.
About Our Red Maca
Our red maca roots come from traditional certified organic farms in the high Andes of Peru. Red maca is one of the three primary maca root colors and is often chosen by customers who prefer its milder, slightly sweeter taste.

What Makes The Maca Team Extracts Different?
At The Maca Team, we focus exclusively on high-quality Peruvian maca. That focus allows us to offer a wide range of maca products along with detailed educational information about how they differ.
Our liquid extracts begin with high-quality whole maca root chips and use a glycerin-based extraction method rather than alcohol. We chose glycerin because it creates a sweet-tasting liquid extract that is alcohol-free and easy to use.
We are also one of the few companies to offer multiple maca colors in extract form.
The Maca Team Difference
The Maca Team works directly with growers and producers in Peru to support careful sourcing, traditional agriculture, and consistent product quality.
Our products are selected according to sourcing and processing guidelines that emphasize purity, traditional cultivation, and transparency. You can learn more about these practices on our Our Standards page.

Suggested Use
Take 1/4–1/2 teaspoon (about 2–4 droppersful) up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Many customers take the extract directly by dropper or add it to a small amount of water or another beverage.

Red Maca Root
I didn't notice any effects, I ordered two bottles and a I want to return the second bottle. From The Maca Team: Hi Mke. We've reached out via email. Know that maca takes time to work. Most people see benefits within 3-4 weeks of starting, but a lot depends upon the state of an individual's overall hormone health. For this reason, we'd recommend sticking with it a while longer...

Red Maca Root Extract
I've been taking this Red Maca Root for over 10 years, it's been amazing for my overall health and well being. Keeps my hormones in check during menopause and beyond. Will continue to take my Maca Root extract for a long time. Highly recommend this quality product.

Red maca root liquid
I hope it's working. Between the size of the bottle and the recommended dosage, I went through it pretty quickly- not long enough for my body to adjust to it. I bought some maca powder to continue my journey

Disappointing
Took 2-4 dropperfuls for 2+ weeks and could not feel any difference. I previously took another brand of maca supplements and felt immediate difference from the first day. This extract did not help with sleep or perimenopause symptoms or provide energy. I do not recommend. I also bought the pill version of this red maca root, and am also not seeing or feeling any positive benefits. From The Maca Team: Hi Jennine, thanks for letting us know. We'll reach out on email to see if we can support you to get better results. There are a few things to try before giving up completely. While maca does work well for the vast majority of people, everyone is different and it may be that your system is responding differently.

Red Maca Root Extract
As I’m going through pre-menopause and having hot flashes I have discovered taking Red Maca Root Extract has helped my discomfort.

So helpful!
The maca extract has really done wonders for me! I am going through peri menopause and also has lupus and the hormon imbalances would trigger or exacerbate my lupus flares. With Maca I am so much better!! Also, I think I may have gluten sensitivities so if you don't see any effects from the maca powder, try the extract before giving up. Maybe you are not absorbing well. This happened for me. The maca extract has taken away my hot flashes, my anxiety from my hormone fluctuations, a bunch of symptoms related to my lupus flares and lots of more symptoms I can't even remember now!!! I thank God and The maca team every day for this great help!!

Amazing
Where to even start! Well, I’m a 52 year old, post menopausal woman. I decided to try red maca for the extreme hot flashes I was experiencing. I’ve tried so many “natural” supplements for over two years and most would provide some relief but it would only last a short while. With the red maca (pills and tincture) I experienced immediate results! In fact, I was a bit over zealous with my usage which caused some extreme changes as my body was trying to balance my hormones, I called the maca team and spoke to the mother of the owner. I love the family business aspect. She actually used those words and said “I think you were a little over zealous lol. I was so ecstatic about the results that I wanted to keep it going. She was so kind and listened so empathetically. She advised that I start over and start slower. I actually started my monthly cycle which I hadn’t experienced in years! It was wild!!! A whole 7 days of bleeding like in my younger years. This only happened once and it was due to my own eagerness. Fast forward a few months and I’ve ordered multiple times. I only take the tincture at this point because it’s easier for me than the pills. I take everyday upon awakening and the energy I get is incredible! That’s my other issue. I have struggled with energy for most of my life. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and the maca give me energy like NOTHING I’ve never tried. It’s not a caffeine energy and there is no crash, ever. I’m not sure how long menopause will last but I will continue to take red maca for energy even after menopause. I 1000% trust this company and their products. Please stop buying maca from Amazon and get the real stuff from these guys! Thank you, truly maca team you’re doing good honest, clean work to provide these products. Angela, a customer for life
