Why choose us?
Why gelatinised Maca?
Some people experience an upset stomach, bloating and gas when they consume raw Maca. Gelatinized Maca is Yellow Maca that has been processed to remove the starches, making it easier to digest. In addition, as the starches are removed, the Maca is in a more concentrated form.
What makes our Maca so special?
Our Maca is grown at 4200m above sea level in Junin, Peru. We purchase direct from the indigenous farmers who have been growing Maca in that region since before recorded time. The farmers sun dry the Maca and then ground into a fine powder, at no point are any fillers or additives used. It is guaranteed premium quality and comes to you certified organic so you know it is free of pesticides, herbicides and radiation.
Please be careful who you buy your Maca from. A lot of Peruvian Maca is now being shipped from China and the quality may be compromised. Our Maca is guaranteed to come direct from the growers in Peru.
What is the historical use of Maca?
The ancient Incans used maca root as far back as two thousand years ago, when it was revered not only as a staple crop, but as a potent medicinal herb. Folktales about this high nutrient food describe how Incan warriors consumed large quantities of the product before going into battle to increase energy and strength.
What nutrients are in Maca?
This organic super food delivers a beneficial amount of plant-based protein. A number of important fatty acids and essential amino acids (of which 18 out of 20 are present) are also present. Maca also contains energy boosting and immune revitalising Vitamins B1, 2, and 3, along with small quantities of C, E, and B6.
What colour is Maca?
Maca is a root vegetable similar in appearance to sweet potato. Like Sweet Potato, it comes in a few different colour varieties (but once it is grounded they all look more or less the same).
Maca root is available in Yellow, Red and Black and each colour appears to have slightly different strengths in terms of the benefits it provides:

Hi, i have used black maca twice now, it helps with energy levels for me. In the past i have only used normal maca powder and i find this one works better for me. Cheers
I’m sure the health benefits listed with Black Maca are valid as it’s almost the end of the long winter term and I’m feeling good (I’m a teacher), HOWEVER, what I’d like to say is that this stuff tastes absolutely DELICIOUS! I sprinkle a heaped teaspoon on my bircher muesli every single morning and I absolutely LOVE the taste of it.
I had been researching Maca for a while and was a bit sceptical of its reported benefits, once I came across FSF’s Maca I decided to give it a shot. Product arrived fast and was well packaged. I have only been using this product for 2 weeks, and have already seen results. 32yr old Male with a hectic life balance – I have definitely seen improvements… If you know, you know! Thanks FSF!
My partner takes this everyday, decreased hair loss, better mood and focus.
Amazing product; noticeable boost of energy during the day, tastes delicious, and no nasty ingredients. Shipping was very fast and came packaged nicely. I don’t ever plan to stop drinking it!
Starting using this recently and have notice that I have more energy throughout the day. Also seem to be more calm and centred.
