Black Maca is best known as a natural slow release energy source, and for boosting sensual energy and stamina. It is said that Incan warriors consumed large quantities of Black Maca before going into battle to increase energy and strength.
As our Black Maca is 100% whole root, you also benefit from the full spectrum its nutrients, minerals and antioxidants.
Black Maca 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 also present.
It is also a high source of calcium (more so than milk), which is essential for building and maintaining bone strength.
Maca also contains energy boosting vitamins B1, 2, and 3, along with small quantities of C, E, and B6.
Our sun-dried Black Maca Root is grown 4,000m above sea level in Junin, Peru. We purchase directly from the indigenous farmers who have been growing Maca in the traditional way since before recorded time.
It is guaranteed premium quality and comes to you Certified Organic, so you know it is free of pesticides, herbicides and radiation.
It is also the whole Maca root, not an extract.
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.
Black Maca is best known for boosting sensual energy, particularly for males.
Add to your favourite smoothie, juice or a glass of water in the morning.
Start with one teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons gradually.

This was my first time trying black maca and everything u might read about it online is true! All the benefits i got after about 1-2 days of taking. Would highly recommend purchasing if you are interested in higher energy and all of the other benefits!

Beautiful maca, goes nicely in a smoothie, protein shake or just with almond milk! I am using the black maca with red maca for energy, skin and hormone benefits.

I purchased Black Maca. My husband and I have been taking Maca to help our energy levels. We’re busy parents with high intensity working lives. We passed our forties and I feel that if I don’t have Maca in the mornings I struggle to complete the day’s activities. My husband also feels the benefits that Maca provides and takes it with him even when he travels for business purposes. I’d stopped taking it after disappointing experiences with the quality of Maca I got from other suppliers. The thing with Maca is that its efficiency depends on the root that is extracted and where it’s grown. As time passed and after a number of health complaints and getting no relief from doctors and medication, I did further research on the benefits of Maca, I found black Maca and decided to give it a go. This time I found Forest Super Foods. I bought Black Maca because yellow Maca may make me anxious (or was it the supplier’s Maca?) I haven’t tried red Maca. I’m writing this review because I’m very impressed about the quality of the Maca I received from Forest and the way Forest packaged the product. They put the product in a high quality container made of cardboard but black in the inside. The packaging was strong and sturdy and showed that someone had a good think on how to protect the quality of the product from transportation. The product also arrived quicker than expected. The flavour of Maca is very particular and people should consider that when getting powder Maca. However, if you’re determined to get the best results from Maca you should go for powder, which is what you get from Forest. How I take Maca: I started taking a quarter of a tea spoon and increased slowly. You should take Maca only in the mornings because it can affect your sleep if taken late. I mix the powder with yogurt. I used to use Greek yogurt with honey but now I use sweetened fruit yogurt. Black Maca is given in Peru to people who has low concentration. Yellow Maca is taken by sport people. Yellow Maca can help stop the pain of menstruation according to a friend whom I recommend it and who said had suffered from terrible pain for many years. I’m Peruvian and my mother mentioned this Maca product. I didn’t take any notice until I need help with my energy levels and decided to give it a go.

Amazing product! Has honestly helped me become the best mum to my 4 very young children. Helps me get through my day with enough energy to keep up with my kids. I notice that my energy levels are long lasting and I have been feeling less fatigued and a lot less stressed!

I started using this after googling about its benefits. I have menopause and since I started using the Black Maca daily, my symptoms have improved dramatically. I’d highly recommend all women to give this one a try.

Black Maca gives me more energy and also increases my confidence and stamina. Blend this with Black Ginger, protein powder and Pine Pollen, in a pre-work out smoothie.

I been taking the Maca for two months and have noticed a positive effect on my recovery time after intense exercise such as interval training. As a personal trainer this is a valuable outcome.

Started using this in my smoothies and have noticed an increase in my libido, which is why I was sourcing it. I’ve been compounding natural supplements to enhance libido anyway but can assuredly say that this is assisting noticeably aswell. Stoked to have such high quality organic products like this available. Thank you Forest Super Foods, you’ve been a great find!

I sought out black Maca for improved ‘mens vitality’ and found this product from Forest Superfoods to be worthy of a positive review in that regard. I then tried cheaper products which had no effect, so came back to Forest Superfoods and noticed the benefits once again. I enjoy it as a Maca/Cacao latte in the mornings and feel a nice sustained energy improvement throughout the day without the wired feeling and subsequent crash that caffeine can have. Give it a week or so to kick in and enjoy!
