What does it do?
BALANCES HORMONES
Maca helps regulate hormonal function which has many positive effects on mood, weight, fertility and so much mpore.
FOR SEXUAL HEALTH
Maca is known as a great tool for men to enhance sperm count and improve sexual function and sexual energy.
INCREASES ENERGY
Clinical trials have shown that maca may positively impact energy, endurance and stamina.
EASIER TO DIGEST
Gelatinized Maca is minimally processed to remove the starch making it easier for sensitive tummies to digest.
WHY GELATINIZED 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.
GELATINIZED MACA FOR ENERGY & ENDURANCE
Gelatinized Maca increases physical stamina and energy in mice, and increased male reproductive function by increasing sperm count (read full article).
GELATINIZED MACA TO REDUCE MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS
A study conducted in 2005 assessed the use of Gelatinized Maca in alleviating symptoms of menopausal discomfort experienced by women in early post menopause and which resulted in a substantial reduction of menopausal discomfort felt by women participating in the study.
GELATINIZED MACA FOR HOMONE BALANCING & WEIGHT LOSS
This 2006 Study set out to assess Gelatinized Maca as a non-hormonal alternative to HRT in premenopausal women and showed it effective at balancing hormones, reducing weight and increasing Iron levels in participants.
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.
MACA HAS BEEN USED IN TRADITIONAL EASTERN MEDICINE FOR MILLENNIA
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.
In 2015 1,300 tons of Maca was exported around the world. Recent scientific research demonstrates Maca’s ability to impart energy, to balance and assist the hormone system and to act as a natural aphrodisiac (particularly for men). It also contains a huge amount of nutrients, minerals and all essential amino acids.
MACA AS A MOOD ENHANCER
AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO BALANCE & NURTURE HORMONES
Rather than providing hormones to the body, Maca acts an an adapt o gen, meaning it responds to each body differently. If a particular hormone is being produced too much, maca will regulate the body to produce less. And if the body is producing not enough, it bumps up production.
In 2005 researchers performed a 9 month study of Maca’s effect on female hormones. The conclusion was that Maca acts as a toner of hormonal processes and that it is a serious potential alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (Meissner, Kapcynszki et al. 2005 – read full article).
Maca stimulates and nurtures the hypothalamus and pituitary glands (named the master glands) of the body, which in turn regulate the adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, ovarian and testicular glands. Sexual development, tissue function, mood & growth are all dependent on a healthy hormonal balance, and Maca is incredible in it’s ability to do achieve just that.
Maca has been traditionally used by herbalists to treat PMS problems, menopause, hot flushes, increasing energy & endurance and for the treatment of depression rather than using hormone replacement therapy.
In a double-blind study published in The Journal Of The North American Menopause Society, Maca was found to reduce depression and anxiety in post-menopausal women and to also improve sexual dysfunction (full journal article).
A NUTRIENT & MINERAL DENSE FOOD.
This organic super food delivers a beneficial amount of plant-based protein and around 8% of maca is dietary fiber. 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.
MACA AS A SEXUAL STIMULANT & NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO ERECTILE MEDICINE
Known as a great tool for men to enhance sperm count and improve sexual function, Maca has began to be known as nature’s alternative to erectile medicine. Several studies have shown Maca to have a positive effect on sexual dysfunction.
A double-blind study found that people with diagnosed erectile dysfunction showed significant improvements when taking just 3g a day of Maca. Libido also markably improved (Dording, Fisher, et al. 2008 – full journal article).
MACA FOR SEXUAL HEALTH
Maca has also been used traditionally to help improve male sexual health. As far back as 1653 a writer by the name of Father Cobo noted that he had seen first hand how this incredible super food could improve sexual health.
A study published by the University of Peru found that Maca improved the sperm count and testicular weight of rats when given daily doses over 14 days (Gonzales, Ruiz, et al. 2001 – full journal article).
WHAT COLOUR 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:

The bag says black but your website details says that gelatinised maca is yellow maca.

Bettina (Verified Customer) –
Too early to see beneficial results, but I am glad I found the gelatinized Maca, as I have Hypothyroidism and supposedly raw Maca should not be taken then. I love it in my morning yoghurt. Very nice malty taste.
Fleur (Verified Customer) –
This is a fantastic product! I mix a tsp in a cup of milk and heat with a pinch of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon in the morning. Very gentle on the stomach if you have had issues with raw Maca powder.
Mick (Verified Customer) –
I love this product. It mixes well with fruit, milk drinks and hot milo. I know an assessment of the end results are subjective but I certainly feel much calmer and relaxed after using this product for a number of weeks.
Not quite sure about it enhancing libido- although at my age I am not anything will help. 🤣
Mackenzie (Verified Customer) –
