The root vegetable Lepidium meyenii (maca) is a member of the cruciferous family that also includes broccoli, cauliflower and kale. In the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains where our maca root is grown, the harsh environment has shaped this superfood to be tough enough to withstand any environmental challenge. It passes its strength on to you. The roots are carefully selected, then washed before they are cut, cooked, dried and made ready for milling.
Organika’s Organic Maca Powder undergoes a specialized procedure called gelatinization. Despite the name, this procedure does not involve gelatin in any form; it consists of splitting large starch chains into smaller molecules. This leads to a much smoother, less gritty experience for you. The additional slow cooking in our gelatinization methods may enhance the availability of some nutrients and minerals. Even the natives of Peru cook or heat process their maca in some manner for better digestibility and increased benefits.
It is widely recognized that maca can help to support the emotional aspects of sexual health and libido, which are vital for fertility and a healthy sex life. It lowers inflammation while efficiently invigorating, boosting and elevating a healthy lifestyle.
In women, maca supplementation has been studied to help normalize the symptoms of premenstrual/menstrual symptoms as well as the symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, night sweats, cramps, fatigue and lethargy. Stress levels and emotional states are also balanced. Maca supports healthy bone structure, which can decrease with age and lowering estrogen levels.
In men, maca is used to promote healthy testosterone levels, which helps improve strength, vitality, hair health, higher bone mass density and sexual drive.

Every 1 teaspoon serving is equal to 5 g or 5,000 mg pure maca.
Q: Does your maca contain gelatin? A: Gelatinization does not mean there is “gelatin” in it. It is the name of the process used to remove the starches to make the maca root more digestible. It is still vegan and vegetarian friendly.
Q: Is your maca powder a raw food? A: Our maca is not considered to be “raw” because it goes through the gelatinization process, which includes a slow cooking process.
Q: I’ve had problems with other maca powders giving me gas and bloating. Will I get that with your product? A: No. The gelatinization process can make it easier for those with sensitive digestive systems to handle due to the removal of the starches and the pre-digestion of cooking.
Q: Am I adding a lot of calories to my diet when I add maca powder to my smoothie? A: Maca is a great source of copper and manganese, and a good source of B1 and iron and the phytonutrient macaridine. Besides all the fantastic vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, for every one teaspoon (5g) serving, you get 20 calories, one gram of fibre, and one gram of protein.

I like the product I do find the taste a acquired one so far mixing it in plain Greek yogurt is only way I can stomach it but the product itself is worth it im less bloated overall noticed less gut problems, iv also noticed my hormones balancing out which is something iv struggled with for years
I originally came to order collagen only but when I came across Maca I was intrigued. I’m 28 yrs old and get terrible night sweats for the week before and into my period. When I saw that this product could be useful in balancing hormones and alleviating night sweats I had to try. I’ve only been using this for a week (in combo with collagen) before my cycle and it seems to have eased them. They’re not completely gone but maybe that will come with longer use and cleaning up my eating. Once I use this for a longer period I’ll know if it actually helps with them. I gave it 4-stars as there is definitely a taste to it that requires some getting used to. I mix it in my coffee, but I drink my coffee black so it’s more noticeable. Recently I tried adding some chai tea and soy milk to my cup that I mix this in and it seems to mask the flavour. Occasionally I have issues with it clumping and not breaking down but I find a cheap electric milk frother/mixer from Amazon helps break it up. All in all, I’m quite happy with this product so far!
