What Maca is Good for Libido?

Posted by The Maca Team on 8th Feb 2023

Which Maca Is Best For Libido

There are a lot of pills and powders out there that claim to improve your libido. Purported aphrodisiacs include oysters, chocolate, figs, and…asparagus? Yes, even asparagus makes the list of “foods that put you in the mood.” Blogs and various websites tout cure-alls for low sex drive, many of which are little more than old wives’ tales. And the thought of taking a stimulant or undergoing hormone therapy can be a little intimidating. While your first step should be to consult a licensed medical professional, you might also consider trying out a dietary supplement that’s been praised for stimulating the libido for hundreds of years - maca root.

Black Maca Root

Black maca root is the rarest of all color maca root, making up only about 20% of the annual harvest in Peru. Historically, black maca has been associated with improving stamina and strength as well as the libido fertility in men. Research done in the early 2000s found that black maca root might even affect sperm count.

Black Maca Root for Libido

How can you incorporate black maca into your diet? At The Maca Team, we offer our black maca root in multiple preparations. You can purchase our organic raw black maca powder in 1 kg, 1 lb, and 8 oz bags. All of our fair trade maca root is sustainably grown on our farms in Junin, Peru and sun dried before being ground into powder. We also offer black maca extract in bottled form, a formula that contains only black maca and vegetable glycerin. Our organic gelatinized black maca chips are easier on the stomach for sensitive digestions and can be easily incorporated into recipes like hearty porridges and oatmeal.

Red Maca Root

Some women struggle with libido and fertility, too. Red maca root, which comprises about 25% of the yearly maca harvest, is said to help with these particular concerns. It’s also been associated over the years with relief of hormone imbalance or the harsh symptoms of menopause.

Red Maca Root to help with libido and infertility

In addition to our raw red maca powder, we offer our black, red, yellow, and tricolor macas as premium maca. What makes these maca powders “premium?” Instead of being sundried like our standard powders, our 100% premium pure maca root is fresh processed immediately after harvest. These roots have been cleaned in a citrus solution, ground into a pulp, and dried under low temperatures. This process results in a product with more glucosinolates, enzymes which studies indicate possess anti-inflammatory qualities, and may even help reduce risk of cancer. Sometime to keep in mind is that all maca color roots prepared with the premium process can be lighter in color and more spicy, so keep that in mind when you’re considering how you’d like to work it into your diet!

You can purchase red maca root and all of our maca formulations as standard or premium vegan maca capsules, as well as liquid extract, maca powder, or gelatinized maca chips.

"My energy level is through the roof..My libido is great and my hormones are balanced I will keep this in my lifestyle.. I take 2 tsp in the morning in my coffee. - Shastina"

"I have been trying to get pregnant for a few months, but my sex drive has been low the last few years. I think it’s just part on getting older (35) but I don’t want to accept it. I have been taking Maca for a few weeks and I noticed a difference in libido after the first week. I’m taking Gelatinized Maca because I do have a low thyroid and I read raw is not good for hypothyroidism. I’m using a digital fertility tester and it currently says I’m in peak fertility. I don’t know it that’s attributed to the Maca, but my libido definitely is. Thank you!" - S. Marin

"This product has been amazing. His libido has increased to how it was 10 years ago!!! We have also noticed a diffrence with short term memory and mental sharpness. We ordered the pills to help with fertility and libido and will keep them in stock every month. Thank you Maca Team" - Jenny

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting . I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly. I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

By Olga
