Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you suffer from any psychological disorder or condition such as frequent anxiety or depression, if you have high blood pressure, if you are taking blood thinners, or if you are taking antidepressants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Black Maca?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.) is a root vegetable native to the high Andes of Peru, cultivated at 4,000 to 4,500 metres above sea level on the Junin plateau in central Peru. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family alongside broccoli, cabbage, and kale. The part used in this formula is the hypocotyl, the swollen underground stem that is the primary storage organ of the maca plant and contains the highest concentration of its active compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaca hypocotyls come in a range of colours. The three main commercial varieties are yellow (approximately 60% of the harvest), red (approximately 25%), and black (approximately 15%). Black maca is the rarest. The colour differences reflect differences in the phytochemical profile of each variety. In traditional Andean use, black maca was associated with stamina and physical endurance. All varieties share the same species (Lepidium meyenii Walp.) and the same plant part (hypocotyl). The Health Canada NPN 80036489 licence covers maca hypocotyl generically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhole Powder vs Concentrated Extract: What You Are Actually Getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula contains 800mg of whole organic maca hypocotyl powder per capsule. Whole powder is the full maca hypocotyl ground into powder without concentration or extraction. It is not a 4:1 or 10:1 extract. 800mg of whole maca powder equals 800mg of raw maca hypocotyl. At 4 capsules per day, this formula provides 3,200mg of whole organic maca hypocotyl daily. This is the traditional food form of maca, consistent with how it has been consumed in the Andes for thousands of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy an Organic Pullulan Capsule?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost supplement capsules use hypromellose (HPMC), a semi-synthetic cellulose derivative. This formula uses an organic pullulan capsule. Pullulan is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It is plant derived, vegan, and certified organic. Pullulan capsules have significantly lower oxygen permeability than HPMC capsules, providing better protection for oxygen sensitive contents. The organic pullulan capsule is consistent with the organic certification of the maca ingredient and the overall clean label positioning of this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrganic Certification and High Altitude Sourcing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe maca in this formula is certified organic by Pro-Cert, a Canadian organic certification body accredited under the Canada Organic Regime. Organic certification means the maca was grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, with the supply chain audited for compliance. The capsule shell is also certified organic pullulan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaca is sourced from the Junin plateau in central Peru at 4,000 to 4,500 metres above sea level, where most other crops cannot survive. The combination of high altitude, intense UV radiation, cold temperatures, and mineral rich volcanic soils creates the conditions in which maca has evolved and thrives. Maca has been cultivated in this region for thousands of years, with Spanish colonial records from the 16th century documenting its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMedicinal Ingredient (per capsule)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp., hypocotyl) 800mg\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole hypocotyl powder | Black maca variety | Certified organic by Pro-Cert | NPN 80036489\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon medicinal ingredients: Magnesium stearate, organic pullulan capsule, seaweed extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality and Trust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNPN 80036489\u003c\/strong\u003e Licensed by Health Canada as a Natural Health Product\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Canada\u003c\/strong\u003e GMP certified facility under Health Canada oversight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified organic by Pro-Cert\u003c\/strong\u003e Maca and capsule shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack maca variety\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarest variety, approximately 15% of harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole hypocotyl powder\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a concentrated extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic pullulan capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e Low oxygen permeability | Fermentation derived | Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaweed extract\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant derived flow agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon GMO | Gluten free | Soy free | Dairy free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90 capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e At 4 capsules per day (2 capsules twice daily)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdult males seeking certified organic black maca hypocotyl in whole powder form from a Health Canada licensed formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who want an organic pullulan capsule rather than a standard hypromellose capsule, for lower oxygen permeability and full organic certification throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHealth conscious consumers who prefer a certified organic, GMP manufactured, Canadian made maca supplement under the InkaMaca brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdults who have reviewed the cautions and, where applicable, discussed maca supplementation with their healthcare practitioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdult males: Take 2 capsules 2 times per day (4 capsules total per day).
