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.
Most protein powders are heavily processed and not easily digested by the body. Our Peruvian Maca Powder is a whole food that is also 10 – 15% protein.
Not only is it a rich source of protein but it has also been proven to improve endurance and energy levels.
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:
Start with one teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (3.5 grams) gradually. Add to your favourite smoothie, juice or a glass of water.
It is said that Incan warriors consumed large quantities of Black Maca before going into battle to increase energy and strength.

Ive been taking Yellow Maca for a year now. I came across Forest Super Foods, in search in helping me with my perimenopausal symptoms, and it surely helped, after a few weeks of taking Yellow Maca, my mind was much calmer, and my thoughts werent radical as before I started taking the product, and my mood was so much better. How I know Yellow Maca works for me is that when I was out of the product I didnt order it for about 3 months, I felt like death, my mood was radical and I felt depressed and angry at the same time, beauty of being a perimenopausal women. I instantly knew I needed to go back taking Yellow Maca, know I feel a sense of calm and balanced. I highly recommend taking Yellow Maca, the product is amazing.
First order came within days of ordering. Already feeling positive effects on my energy levels and mood. Definitely will be ordering again.
