Peruvian Maca Root Powder

Legend has it that Incan warriors used to eat maca before going into battle – they believed it gave them invincible strength and stamina. Yellow maca is the most widely available type of maca root, which is said to have thyroid modulating and hormone-balancing properties.

Why do we use raw maca?

Raw maca maintains it’s nutritional profile and benefictial phytonutrients, while gelatinised maca is processed to remove hard-to-digest elements and heated in the process. This heat is said to destroy beneficial elements. Even though gelatinised maca may be more bioavailable and concentrated, we prefer the more natural, raw version.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Maca grows high up in the Peruvian Andes mountains where the extremely mineral rich soils account for maca’s high levels of energy, protein, minerals and dietary fibre. Health benefits of yellow maca are said to be:
