Add Maca to Your Diet with Our Liquid Extracts
Posted by The Maca Team on 6th Feb 2023
When you’re looking to start adding a new supplement to your health regimen, it can be difficult to know where to start. Where can you purchase it safely and reliably, and what’s the right serving size? What if you don’t like the taste, or it’s too tedious to keep up with? Adding maca to your diet doesn’t need to be difficult or inconvenient - in fact, it’s actually easy! At TheMacaTeam.com, we offer our organic, fair-trade maca in a variety of formulations, and you’re sure to find one that will work for you.
When is a Liquid Maca Extract Best For You?
It’s easy to be intimidated by something new, even when you know it’s good for you. While our raw and premium powdered maca root can be added to smoothies and yogurts, you might have difficulty adjusting to the taste. And though taking one of our vegan maca powder capsules is another solution, maybe you’ve gotten tired of taking pills or capsules in the morning. In this case, our liquid maca root extract would be a great option! You can get all the benefits of maca in a convenient and potent herbal extract. You don’t have to sacrifice the nutrients and compounds of traditional powdered maca - it’s all preserved in a convenient liquid form in our maca extracts, and much easier for your body to absorb.
Take a look at our black maca liquid extract: it contains only two ingredients, black maca root and vegetable glycerin derived from coconut palms. These simple ingredients have been organically grown, sustainably harvested in Peru and Indonesia and then carefully processed within the U.S. The best part about it is that it’s all in one convenient bottle. Traveling with bags of maca root powder and tubs of capsules might be a bit inconvenient, but it’s quick and simple to tuck a bottle of our liquid extract into your luggage.
Our red maca extract is made with our own four-step process, using vegetable glycerin to concentrate the nutritional components of our raw red maca into liquid form. Red maca has higher levels of antioxidants than other colors of maca root. People also tend to find the flavor sweeter and more mild than yellow and black maca root. If you’re a newcomer to maca, introducing this liquid maca extract is a great way to incorporate maca into your diet!
Our yellow maca root liquid extract has its own unique properties, too. It’s a nutritional powerhouse, containing nearly all essential amino and free fatty acids as well as significant levels of vitamins, zinc, magnesium, calcium and nutrients unique to maca called macaenes and macamides - and more besides.
If it’s our premium tri-color maca root you’re most interested in, you can find that in liquid extract form as well. It’s our most potent form of maca made up of 30% red, 30% black, and 40% yellow maca roots. One added convenience of liquid maca extract is that it has a longer shelf life than powdered maca, keeping well for up to three years.
How do You Use Liquid Maca Extracts?
Keep in mind that your ideal serving size varies from person to person, and like with any nutritional supplement, it’s a good idea to discuss adding it to your health regimen with a competent medical professional. To get the best use out of your liquid maca, hold about two droppers full of the extract under your tongue for about thirty seconds one to three times a day. Like with our powdered maca and maca chips, you can also add it to your post-workout smoothies, or even to your morning coffee.
With so many options, it’s hard to decide which maca root you’ll try first! We can help with that. You can find our liquid extracts in a sampler pack containing bottles of red, black, yellow, and tri-color maca.
