Description

Gelatinized Premium Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO and Vegan

OverviewGelatinized premium red maca powder from The Maca Team

Our gelatinized premium red maca powder is made from 100% red maca roots which are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. The roots comes from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junin, Peru. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The cooperative of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing only the highest quality maca products.

Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Root Powder

There are two important considerations to understand about what makes this product unique.

First, what makes this maca “premium” is the special way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, maca roots are fresh processed immediately after harvest. After coming out of the ground they are cleaned in a citrus solution, ground into a pulp and low temperature dried. This special processing leaves more glucosinolates in the final product. Glucosinolates are nutrients that have been associated with anti-cancer properties.

Second, this maca powder is gelatinized. Gelatinization is a process in which maca roots are heated to high temperatures (160F / 70C). The heat causes the starch molecules in maca to irreversibly dissolve and the result is a powder that has had some of its nutrients compromised but is easier to digest than raw maca. It’s important to note that nothing is added to maca during the gelatinization process.

Gelatinized Premium Red Maca:

  • Comes from a modern approach to processing maca developed in the past 25 years

  • Is fresh processed - maca roots are dried in dehydrators immediately after harvest
  • Has higher glucosinolate content - nutrients which may help prevent cancer
  • Is much stronger tasting - has a more noticeable maca flavor with more spiciness
  • Is limited in supply since it must be produced from fresh roots during annual harvest (June-August)

Advantages of Taking Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powderpremium gelatinized red maca powder

This product has a few advantages. First, since it’s gelatinized it is easier to digest than raw premium red maca powder. Second, since glucosinolate content is maximized through premium processing techniques, this product is a bit stronger in terms of anti-cancer properties. Finally, other nutrients are concentrated during processing and some people find that they take a bit less of our premium products as compared to our standard or sun-dried ones.

Disadvantages of Taking Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

The main disadvantages to using this product over a standard gelatinized red maca powder are that nutrients such as vitamin C and enzymes are destroyed during the heating process and that this type of maca is much stronger tasting. While some people do enjoy the taste, others find that it is a bit too spicy or earthy for their liking. Note that we also offer this product in capsule form if you wish to avoid the taste.

Recommended For:

Red Maca powder has been shown, under phytonutrient analysis, to be higher in certain compounds that support the body in antioxidant and antitumoral activity. We recommend it:

  • For men looking to use maca for prostate health support
  • For women's fertility and libido (We recommend black maca for male fertility)
  • For bone density support - most important for women and children
  • For everyone wanting to experience the highest antioxidant and nutrient levels of all maca powders

Storage and Shelf Life

Maca keeps well for up to 24 months provided that it is stored in a sealed bag out of direct sunlight and at below 70% humidity. (More storage and use tips)

Suggested Use

1-3 teaspoons mixed in water, juice or smoothies daily. (Complete serving guidelines).

Safety

Maca root is classified as a food and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It has been used traditionally for centuries as a natural food source in the Andes.

There are no known contraindications to taking maca root products. However, individuals who are taking medications for high blood pressure should consult their healthcare provider before use, as maca may have a mild blood pressure–lowering effect in some people.

Maca naturally contains iodine, which is important to note for those who are sensitive to iodine or have thyroid conditions requiring restricted iodine intake.

As with any food or supplement, individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or under medical supervision should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using maca.

    Enjoying it very much, about a tablespoon every morning blended in ice cold water with some frozen blueberries, banana or strawberries. Feeling more energy already. Getting ready to order some more, and some for the husband.

    immediate energy boost

    Posted by Neesa on 7th Jun 2022

    I tried another brand of Maca--it was not gelatinized and I had severe digestive pain. I found The Maca Team site which has SO much valuable information. I was impressed with every aspect of the company. I immediately ordered Gelatinized Red Maca Powder. It arrived in 2 days. My energy levels, emotional and mental well being all have benefited. I highly recommend this form of Maca and this wonderful company.

    Excellent

    Posted by Jen DF on 8th Mar 2022

    Good quality red maca, it tastes like the one I used to eat in Peru. I started with 1/4 tsp daily and then increased it to 1/2 tsp after a week, I usually have it with my oatmeal and it mixes pretty well. A little goes a long way.

    Gelatinized Maca

    Posted by Holly Bielecki on 21st Jan 2022

    I gave a 4 star review only because I haven't been taking the Maca long enough to notice a difference in the way I feel. I do like the taste of the maca and the packaging is easy to open and seal.

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

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

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?!?!!!

By Janis Ihrig

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.

From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.

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

Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism

I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable.  Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
