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.

I am very happy with the black macca.
It’s slow release quality is perfect for me day to day which gives longer lasting energy
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.
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.

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!
