There are no known contraindications to taking maca root products. However, individuals who are taking medications for high blood pressure should consult their healthcare provider before use, as maca may have a mild blood pressure–lowering effect in some people.

Maca naturally contains iodine, which is important to note for those who are sensitive to iodine or have thyroid conditions requiring restricted iodine intake.

As with any food or supplement, individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or under medical supervision should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using maca.

    Great alternative to coffee

    Posted by Chelsea on 31st Aug 2021

    I’ve replaced this with my coffee and I love it. I use with almond milk and a little bit of vanilla creamer. I found it blends best in a blender. I’ve used it as a smoothie as well and it’s delicious. My energy levels with it are just as good as coffee if not better (no jittery feeling)

    Perfect alternative to coffee

    Posted by Jessica Broussard on 27th Aug 2021

    I heat almond milk and then blend the hot milk with the morning motivator, and it's great. I am now caffeine free and feel amazing.

    Posted by Sarah Mercure on 20th Aug 2021

    Love the rich earthiness of this blend. Feels like my body is receiving minerals and vitamins in their whole natural form. I like to blend it with cacao, herbal tea and walnuts for a creamy adaptogenic day starter.

    Perfect coffee alternative

    Posted by Katelyn on 5th Mar 2021

    I have been able to give up my 6-cup-per-day coffee habit by replacing it with this morning drink. I describe it at an earthy hot cocoa and while I don’t mind it unsweetened my husband appreciates a little stevia. It gives me the boost I need without the crash or chemical dependence. Couldn’t be more happy with the Morning Motivator.

    Morning Motivator unsweetened

    Posted by J on 7th Sep 2020

    I ordered one bag on a recommendation from my favorite blogger, Wardee Harmon. After drinking it every morning for two weeks, I ordered 5 bags more so I will not run out! I add protein powder, my sweetener, coconut milk, collagen, and top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and cloves. It’s my healthy morning hot cocoa. I love it! After four weeks of drinking it every morning, my hot flashes have reduced in severity by 90%. Another reason I ordered 5 more bags, HA! Thank you for a terrific product, and for the purity. Worth every penny.

    I love this every morning! I was trying to cut back on caffeine and this gives me a gentle boost without the drawbacks of coffee. Try it with a creamy nut mylk like coconut or cashew...even almond and oat milk have been delicious in it.

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!

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 so powerful :) )

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

Wonderful!

The effects of adding it to my coffee blend is wonderful. I'm health conscious but love to mix my own flavors for taste. I love it and don't know how I got along without it. I am a true believer and now a loyal customer. I am sharing my experience with your maca with everyone I know. Thank G-d for your company.

By Maas Villanueva

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. feels great. 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

I must say this is the best tasting Maca I have tried!!

This a top-notch team

First I would like to say I love this product. I was very skeptical about a natural product with so many benefits but this stuff really works. Second, I love this company. From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.

By Darren Rivers Sr.

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 :)
