Nature's Superfoods Organic Gelatinized (Activated) Maca Root Powder 100g l Peruvian Ginseng | Energizing

Maca, popularly regarded as the Peruvian Ginseng, is a cruciferous root vegetable grown in the Andes mountains from the Junin region, where the best-quality Maca roots are produced in Peru. Ancient Inca warriors in Peru are historically known to consume Maca for strength and stamina before battles due to its powerful energy-boosting properties.

Maca root has also been shown in modern days to be beneficial for all sorts of hormonal problems including PMS and menopause/andropause, and to boost fertility. Maca is suitable for both men and women.

Gelatinized or Activated Maca powder does not refer to a mixture of Maca powder and gelatin, instead, gelatinization refers to the process of breaking down starch chains in the Maca root (by pre-cooking the roots under controlled temperature conditions), thus making the root powder more easily digested. Maca's active ingredients become more concentrated and more quickly absorbed (faster-acting) in the human body.

Nature's Superfoods' Activated Maca Powder is a proprietary blend of yellow, black and red Maca roots from the Peruvian Andes mountains.

Botanical name: Lepidium meyenii, Walp

How to consume:

1) Mix ½ - 1 teaspoons powder directly into water, smoothies, cereals, oatmeal, shakes, yoghurt, hot/cold beverages. The taste of Maca goes especially well with cacao, coffee, nut milks.

2) Bake into cakes/cookies.

3) Add directly into desserts or sweet treats.

As Gelatinized Maca Powder and Raw Maca Powder are similar in taste and aroma, the recipes are interchangeable.

Recommended daily intake: 1/2 (half) to 1 teaspoon (4g). Start with 1/3 (one-third) or 1/2 (half) teaspoon first (test your body's response to it) and then increase gradually. Take 1-2 days off a week (or 1 week off a month) so that your body will remain responsive to maca's phytonutrients.

For malnourished children, take 1/3 (one-third) teaspoon of maca powder for nourishment, not necessarily on a daily basis.

Maca may not be suitable for pregnant women, as with most other herbal supplements. Those who have thyroid conditions or want to completely avoid iodine might want to avoid taking maca. If you have a sensitive digestive system, try our Organic Gelatinized Maca Powder (pre-cooked and more easily digested) instead of Raw Maca Powder.
