Our Gelatinized Black Maca root Capsules contain 100% organic gelatinized black maca powder. All of our maca root products are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. They come from an organic farming co-operative near Junin, Peru, the traditional farming area for maca. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The co-op of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing the highest quality maca products available anywhere. We're very happy to support their work.
Gelatinized maca root products have been pre-cooked in a special process that inactivates the natural starch content with the roots thereby making the final product easier to digest. Over the years we’ve noticed that raw maca products can cause temporary indigestion in 5-10% of people. For those individuals, gelatinized maca is a much better choice. If you experience any trouble digesting starches or have a generally sensitive digestive system, we certainly recommend gelatinized maca over raw maca for you.
Maca is classified as an “adaptogenic” food. Other adaptogens that you might have heard of include ginseng and ashwaganda. What sets these foods apart from others is that they have the unique characteristic of boosting life-force energy. The general definition of an adaptogen is a plant or mushroom that helps your body respond to stress, anxiety and fatigue and boosts overall wellbeing. We find that black maca does a particularly good job of this. Beyond being adaptogenic, black maca can express some powerful benefits. Customers have shared that it can:
Improves Sperm Counts
My husband has a varicocele and has had many semen analysis tests completed in the past. We have done IUI 4 times in the past year, the first 3 his sperm counts (after wash) was a total of 1.8-2.4 million with about 60% or less motility. He had been taking clomid to improve his count. In December he started your black maca (6 capsules per day), we had a new test done this week and his count was 19.4 million with 85% motility! This was amazing and totally shocking. The only thing that changed from the previous tests was the maca. We did not end up pregnant from that round of IUI. But a few months later we did! My husband had actually stopped the clomid but continued the Maca and we became pregnant naturally, without any medical intervention. This is was a complete shock given we had been trying naturally for over 5 years. Black maca in our case truly helped us conceive.
