Soil Association certified organic Maca Root Powder, made from maca root harvested from the Peruvian Andies.
Our Certified Organic Maca Powder (Lepidium meyenii) is made from the root and lower stem only of the maca plant; this part contains the highest concentration of active compounds. Grown at a high altitude – over 3,800m – in the Peruvian Andes, our Maca Powder is of the highest quality. Organic certified by the Soil Association, this is the finest maca powder.
Maca is a similar size to the turnip, which is related; we only use the root and lower stem in our Maca powder; this part contains the highest concentration of nutrients.
Maca Powder Dosage
One of the most common questions regarding Maca powder is the amount that should be consumed. Unfortunately, the actual variables can affect the amount of Maca Root Powder you should take.
It’s important to remember that Maca Powder is a raw food and not a supplement, extract or concentrate; we have never known anyone, nor are there any documented cases of anyone overdosing on Maca, but that said, like anything in life, it should be consumed in moderation.
Some people may experience an elevated heart rate after consuming excessive Maca Root Powder; start with a small amount and increase until you find the right amount for your body.
You should adjust the amount you consume based on your weight, overall health and age.
As with all nutrient-dense foods, we recommend starting with a small amount and building up.
How to Take Maca Powder
Maca powder is versatile and has an inoffensive taste. Therefore, it is easily combined with a broad range of food and drink. Although it can be quickly baked into bars and cakes, we recommend using it in smoothies.
Mixed into smoothies, Maca Powder can be taken quickly, and it’s easier to consume the exact amount required.
The fastest and debatably the simplest way to take Maca Root Powder is to mix the necessary dose with milk; we find a nut or rice milk that works best.
Maca Powder Recipes
Our favourite maca recipe is the following:
In a blender, add the following:-
- A good handful of green leafy plants – almost anything works basil, kale, cabbage or anything you have on hand•. Roughly 100ml of young coconut water
- A banana
- 1 to 3 teaspoons of maca powder
- A good ‘knob’ of coconut butter
- Raw organic honey or palm sugar to taste
What Is Maca Powder Good For?
Being rich in a wide range of vitamins and minerals, maca root powder is a nutritious addition to any diet; it has a long history of use since ancient Aztec times for providing sustained energy and helping the body.
In modern times, the plant can help the body cope with hormone imbalances and provide vital nutrition to the skin.
