Organic Maca Root Powder, 1 lb, Gelatinized, Peruvian

I love this Maca root powder. It gives me a material energy boost without gitters, allows me to workout longer, helps me build muscle faster, helps calm my nerves and better handle daily stress, makes my cycle lighter and less inflamed, balances my hormones when I feel off, when taken in the evening it helps me to rest deeply. The gelatinous brand helps my stomach better process without the bloating and discomfort.

After reading up on the benefits of Maca I was on the hunt for a gelatinized version that would be easy to digest. This particular brand is very tasty, has a light malty/nutty flavor and gives me instant and sustained energy and focus. be mindful of how much you use though - the daily dosage recommended is 1-3 tsp. I started with 1 in a smoothie and I was hopped up for hours (in a good way)..some may want to ease into it. I have had no digestion or stomach issues with this product. Been making a Maca + Matcha Green Tea Almond Milk latte each morning to replace my coffee. I don't miss my coffee at all and crave this Maca drink instead. In the afternoon, when energy takes a dip after lunch, I make a small maca almond milk tea with nutmeg + cinnamon and this carries me throughout the rest of the workday. It's pretty awesome and I already feel more energetic - hope to experience some of the other benefits as well soon!

I myself have been using maca mainly for its energy boosting factors for a long time now. Maca offers great energy boost for those who are low in energy or just needed a bit more alertness and vitality. Maca is said to be a great natural and healthy alternative to anabolic steroids, which is good news for everyone who wants to gain more muscle. For many professional athletes maca is the number 1 supplement. Good quality maca doesn’t come with any side effects, unlike steroids. Actually maca works as a regulator, making you more balanced in hormonal activity. Helping you to have more mental clarity and no mood swings. And what's so special about this Maca is its freshness and it Gelatinized making absorption into the body easy and fact acting in its benefits. I can say with confidence using this maca everyday you won’t likely be deficient in any nutritional minerals. To sum it up: Energy, sexual stamina, endurance, virility, hormonal balance, muscle gain, mental clarity, adaptogen, nutritional powerhouse and no side effects. Maca is the #1 superfood to help with countless problems. I’m still amazed to look at these maca benefits after many years of using this, no wonder I’m still using maca and I really think it is the best superfood out there for every person. And I am sure this is the best source I have found for maca... The amazon store has hit a home run having this product in its store.

I make a smoothie every morning for breakfast. Maca powder has long been one of my ingredients. I have been through many different brands before I stumbled upon this particular maca. After receiving this and using it for about the past week or so I decided to review. Compared to other brands, I find this maca to be the best buy for quality and flavor. Specifically, I was looking for Organic Maca that was gelantinized. The flavor was a bonus. As long as the price stays where it was at when I purchased it, I will be buying this again when my bag is empty.

It helps with energy but breaks me out like a teenager....worst acne I've ever had in my life after taking it a few days. Stopped for a week & my skin cleared up, tried again & instantly broke out. Even tried taking a 1/4 tsp a day and after a few days I break out. Not sure if it is just this maca or all maca, I'm scared to try taking another brand after this experience.

I was happy to receive this. In an earlier post, I wrote that I was concerned that my package contained several empty baggies (tiny zip top bags) mixed in with the powder. The seller/owner (Alf) wrote me back that this was intentional so that you can transport maca with you. So I came back and edited my review. I believe in supporting good, quality manufacturers (especially of organic products) and I really appreciate that the owner's response was so kind even though I "dinged" them at first because I didn't understand or see in the description that the little "baggies" were not foreign objects (sorry!). I would buy from this company again. I can tell they care about their customers, showing a level of customer care that is above and beyond what I'm used to seeing. The owner also wrote me back that it takes about fifteen days to start to feel the benefits of the maca powder. I'm on about the fourth or fifth day and I'm excited to see what happens. I do notice that I'm a little less anxious and short tempered. Maca is an adaptogen with stress reducing benefits so I may already be experiencing some benefits. I mainly bought it because I read that Maca contains properties that help with balancing hormones. I have been on thyroid medication for a while and although I know that no medical claims are being made, I've experienced so much improvement in my health and thyroid function by ingesting more raw foods (in the form of green smoothies) and getting daily exercise. I'm hoping that adding Maca to my smoothies will further enhance my results.

Expiration date is OCTOBER 2018. Taste is absolutely horrible. Gelatinized Maca should has a smoother and sweeter taste with less bitterness. Many people who use regular maca powder complain about a bitter aftertaste, however this is usually the sign of a poor quality maca powder that is high in the troublesome enzymes we spoke about earlier. This bitter taste is actually a warning sign that we shouldn’t be consuming it. Goes to trash.
