About Yellow Maca Root
Maca root powder is a beloved part of life in the high Andes and yellow maca is the most common of all colors, making up about 60% of the annual harvest. Yellow maca has been the most researched of all 3 Maca colors. To date hundreds of studies, all available publicly in the Pubmed database, have found it to be useful for energy building, fertility, hormone balance, mental focus and more. Yellow Maca is indeed a nutritional powerhouse, containing nearly all essential amino acids and free fatty acids, significant levels of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C, minerals iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium, a high concentration of bio-available protein and nutrients unique to maca called macaenes and macamides. Maca is also an "adaptogen," or rare form of plant that is thought to raise the overall life force energy of those who consume it.

Is gelatinized maca right for you?
In terms of research on maca, both raw and gelatinized yellow maca root products have gotten good results in various kinds of studies. On a more anecdotal level we've received positive feedback from our customers on both types of maca. If you have a generally sensitive stomach or any other issue with digestion, then gelatinized maca is the best choice you can make. The reason is simple. While raw maca can cause temporary symptoms like bloating, gas or upset stomach (in about 5% of people), the gelatinized maca simply will not do so.
