The Maca Team is a family run company of true maca specialists here to bring you the most maca has to offer. We are passionate about sharing high quality Peruvian grown Maca with the world and proud to offer the best selection of maca products anywhere. Our products are always organically grown, fairly traded, non-gmo, gluten free, fresh and potent.
We source only the best organic maca. It took us a long time to find and develop relationships with our farmers in Peru. We were careful to choose a co-operative of farms that is focused 100% on organic and traditional agriculture. They grow maca in the ancestral home of the root, Junin province. And they honor traditional growing methods that calls for resting the land for 10 years between crops. We are very happy to support this amazing work. All of our maca is certified organic by Control Union Certifications. They adhere to the stringent European certification guidelines and certify the entire process, from agricultural lands, to harvesting to production.
We sell only the freshest maca products. Maca is harvested one time per year - between June and August each year. Because we order in small batches, our maca is continually made fresh and almost always from the current year’s harvest of maca roots. Most of the time our products are in our customer's hands within 3-4 months of being produced. Mainstream maca sellers order in huge bulk shipments and products can often sit around for up to 2 years before going out to customers.
We take great care that our maca is packaged to preserve potency. We use a foil lined double sealed totally opaque bag for our powders, safety sealed amber jars for our capsules and amber jars for our extracts. This keeps light, humidity and oxygen away from the product and ensures maximum efficacy of our maca.
We rigorously test all of our products. Each of our products must pass a strict Certificate of Analysis (COA) before it reaches us. We also do extra testing to make sure our products are free of pesticides and heavy metals.
We ensure fair prices for everyone. We pay above market price to farmers for our products and work on smaller margins in order to give our customers fair prices.
We offer the most complete and transparent information on maca anywhere online. We work hard to maintain an accurate and updated website and base our articles on scientific research whenever possible.
We highly value our customers. We love and appreciate great customer service as much as you do. This includes quick response times to questions, fast, accurate shipping and speedy resolution of problems. Simply put, we aim to always treat everyone the same way we want to be treated.
We innovate with maca. We are always looking for unique ways to bring maca into the world. That can be through new product mixes (ie. The Morning Motivator), interesting recipes, sponsorships of athletes and more. We encourage you to let us know if you have any ideas of how we can better serve.

"Hello! Your maca is truly the Don Perignon of macas I've experienced." – Mazy Lin
"Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. They ship a generic staple in its different forms. Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service. 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. Here's what we told Cindi, MT's Customer Service lady: 'Never have we had such speedy delivery.' There's more. "MT's packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements." MT's sample pack is a good starter, but we're settling in on the kilo size. We have six meals a day. Maca almond milk smoothies, berry, chocolate or - always with one green apple, is the numero uno. A bike now sits by our back door, and we use it. We also use the new garage sale Stamina Stepper in the living room. And, for the first time in years the Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work (that is the only goal taking longer than it used to)" -- George and Sherri Wilmouth
"I have been using maca for many years. I used to get it from good my friends that live in Peru...or I bring it back personally when I travel there. I ordered this only because I have run out and cannot get any more for another 2 months. The quality and freshness of this Maca is OUTSTANDING!! Thank you for being an educated and conscientious importer and supplier of this sacred product." -- J.D.
"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" -- Michelle Gebbia
"I appreciate the help and effort you put into customer support. It’s the best experience I’ve had with customer support so far. It feels natural and comfortable. Like talking to a friend. Thank you!” Ahmad Hij
We remind ourselves daily how blessed we are to work with a simple natural product that has helped people for 1000s of years and continues to do so today. We are as grateful for the earth’s role in producing maca as we are for all the hard-working hands that bring it to us. We celebrate this food and the privilege to share it with the world. And we know that if we do our jobs well, more and more people will have the opportunity to benefit from this amazing food!
Enjoy the day!
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 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
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

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

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.

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 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
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
My Maca came in today and it has all the information on it! I must say this is the best tasting Maca I have tried!! Thank you again for a great product!! I will only order from you in future as well!
By Stormi Evans
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
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
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 :)
