WHY BLACK MACA?
The ‘standard’ Maca is known as yellow Maca but there is growing scientific evidence that each variety (yellow, black and red) has different strengths in terms of its health benefits. Whilst the outside of this special root is either yellow, red or black – the inside is more or less the same colour.
Black Maca is the Maca of the brain. Used to boost your mood, combat fatigue and stress and strengthening your memory.
IMPROVES MEMORY & LEARNING
There have been a number of scientific studies that looked at the effects of Black Maca on memory and learning. One such study published in 2007 looked at the effects of Black Maca on learning and memory in mice. The researchers concluded that Black Maca “signfiicantly” improved memory impairment (read full article).
Another study published in 2011 looked at how Black Maca affected Mice that had had their memory impaired. For 35 days Mice were given either distilled water or Black Maca, they were then put through a series of tests to evaluate memory and learning. The researchers concluded that “these results demonstrated that black maca can enhance learning and memory” (read full article).
Another study found that out of all three Maca types, Black Maca had the most promising effect on latent learning (read full article). Latent learning refers to learning which is not immediately evident but rather demonstrated once a reinforcement is given.
BLACK MACA FOR ENERGY
Research published in 2009 measured cycling improvements in athletes over a 14 day period of taking Maca. The researchers concluded that Maca “supplementation improved 40 km cycling time trial performance” (Stone, Ibarra, et al. 2009 – full journal article).

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.
The Red Maca powder tastes great and is an excellent additive to green smoothies or porridge for that extra flavour and energy boost. 2nd and 3rd orders have been submitted for this product.
The service and rapid dispatch ~ delivery from Forest Super Foods is second to none.

Have been very happy with this product. Took a while to get used to the nutty flavour. Now I miss it if I don’t put it in my porridge! Have found I have good energy levels and sleep better at night. Very quick postage. Would highly recommend.
Janice
Certainly makes a difference in daily use. You get used to the taste and enjoy it in my hot choc with Cocao and black maca every morning and sometimes evening 🙂
Kym
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 adaptogen, 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 revatalising 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:

Good Stuff!
Ashleigh Kelly (verified owner) –
I have only been taking this for a week, so not totally sure on results, looking specifically for increased libido, so may have to take it for longer. Taste is good, have it in my morning porridge and can’t taste it at all, otherwise kinda tastes like ground Macadamia nuts if I have it in a protein shake.
Marisabel Acres (verified owner) –
A physiotherapist advised me that my leg tendon was irreparable damaged and I am taking this Black Maca for general well being and I have gone back to do aerobics and although my foot still hurts after 2 classes, now I can make 2 classes per week which is amazing after not being able to stand up for 10 minutes.
Olivier (verified owner) –
Awesome product. I have been using it for one week in conjunction with I Am Warrior and I can already feel the difference.
