Organic Maca, gelatinised, in capsules 500 mg

Nicknamed the “superfood of the Andes”, the Peruvian maca is popular among the indigenous people of the Peruvian Andes. Maca, grown in spring, is a small root vegetable from the Maca plant, grown at an altitude of more than 3,500 metres. Traditionally included in the diets of indigenous populations, maca root has become a modern "superfood". Maca has a rich malty flavour that pairs well with cocoa, another "superfood". This root powder is rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Gelatinisation means applying temperature to break down the starch chains, a process that makes the phytochemicals, which are unique to the maca hormone balance, more bioavailable (easier for the body to digest). The gelatinised maca roots are cooled and ground. Organic Maca Root Powder is 100% pure maca, but it is more concentrated than untreated maca root powder because some of the moisture is removed during the gelatinisation process.

Intake: up to 6 capsules per day
