Organic Peruvian Red Maca Powder (Gelatinised)
Organic Peruvian Red Maca Powder (Gelatinised)
From Tree to You™
Sourced from Peru
Based on archaeological evidence, Maca originated natively and wildly in the high Andes mountains around Lake Chinchaycocha (a.k.a. Lake Junin) of Peru. Maca normally grows in rocky soils that is inhospitable to most other vegetation. Records indicate that Maca has been used as an adaptogen food by the Peruvians for 1500 years ago now. Our organic red maca powder is gelatinised and made from the roots of red maca sourced from the local farmers of Lake Junin.
What is gelatinised maca?
Gelatinised maca is not a gelatin, it is simply maca from which starch has been carefully removed through a process of gentle heat & pressure. Gelatinised maca is always the better choice as it is easier to digest, soluble in liquids and more nutrient dense per gram of maca powder.
Origin Matters
All maca agriculture in Peru is non-GMO and it is a heritage product of Peru, giving it the protection under Peruvian and international law as such. Studies indicate that maca grown in Peru provides the most potent health benefits.
Adaptogen Superfood
Maca root, like ginseng, is an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that raise the body's resistance to diseases through improvements in our physiological and mental health. Maca enables our bodies to balance and revive tired adrenal glands & other aspect of the hormonal system.
Dosage & Usage
Daily dosage of gelatinised red maca root powder is recommended at 3-9 grams (1-3 tsp). Red maca has a sweet, nutty taste with hints of butterscotch and can be easily consumed by blending in a smoothie, shakes, cereal, pancakes, desserts and more.
Benefits of organic red maca powder
Red maca comprises about 20-25% of the total maca harvest in Peru. Red represents our internal energy that nourishes, balances and calms. Traditionally, the Incas used it to prevent and improve conditions such as anxiety, osteoporosis, circulatory issues & hypoxia. Red maca also nourishes, regulates and strengthens the female reproductive organs and in men, the function of the prostate.
