Maca, also known as Peruvian Ginseng, is the superfood of one of the oldest, most advanced civilizations on earth- the Incas. It has been cultivated for 2000 years in the high plateaus of the Andes mountains in Peru, and was once given to Imperial Inca warriors before battle.
Organika®’s Maca powder is made exclusively from the yellow Maca root, most used by Peruvians in daily life. Maca is a nutrient dense, adaptogenic, cruciferous root. Adaptogens are a biological substance found in rare plants and herbs that help the body adapt to change and stress. In fact, repeated use of Maca is like exercising- the body not only adapts, but becomes stronger. It’s traditional use is as a natural energizer and aphrodisiac; it nurtures, restores, and enhances stamina.
So, why is our Maca powder gelatinized, and what does that even mean? Gelatinization breaks down the starch molecules, creating a starch-free powder. This makes it more soluble than regular powders, and thus easier to digest, great for those with sensitive stomachs. It also creates a more concentrated powder. Gelatinized Maca is, gram for gram, more nutritionally dense than raw Maca.

Not only does Maca help us cope with mental and physical exhaustion, but it also has the ability to scavenge free radicals and protect cells against oxidative stress.
