InkaMaca Organic Black Maca Powder 124g | Endurance & Vitality InkaMaca

The rarest colour variant of maca approximately 15% of the Peruvian harvest and the variety most traditionally associated with physical stamina and endurance. Certified organic black maca hypocotyl powder (Lepidium meyenii Walp.), 3 g per scoop, 41 servings. Whole powder, not an extract. 

The Ingredient

Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.) is a cruciferous root vegetable native to the Junin plateau of the Peruvian Andes, cultivated at 4,000–4,500 metres above sea level one of the highest agricultural elevations on earth. It has been cultivated and consumed as a food and medicinal plant in the Andes for over 2,000 years. Maca grows in three colour variants: yellow (most common), red, and black (rarest, ~15% of harvest). Each has a distinct phytochemical profile. Black maca is the variety most studied for physical endurance and male vitality, and the most traditionally prized for stamina in Andean use.

The primary bioactive compounds unique to Lepidium meyenii are macamides and macaenes benzylated fatty acids found in no other plant, concentrated in the hypocotyl (the underground stem). These compounds are the basis for maca’s classification as an adaptogen a substance that supports the body’s ability to adapt to physical and emotional stress without overstimulation.

Whole Powder Not an Extract

3 g per scoop equals 3 g of raw organic maca hypocotyl the full root ground into powder without concentration, extraction, or standardization. This is the traditional food form of maca, consistent with how it has been consumed in the Andes for thousands of years. Mix into smoothies, juices, oatmeal, yogurt, or any food or beverage of your choice.

Clinical Research

Black maca (Lepidium meyenii) and physical endurance: a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial in trained male cyclists

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2009

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial evaluated the effects of black maca supplementation on physical endurance performance in trained male cyclists. Participants receiving black maca demonstrated statistically significant improvements in time trial performance compared to placebo over the 14-day supplementation period. The authors noted that black maca's effects on endurance were consistent with its traditional Andean use as a stamina-enhancing food and with its classification as an adaptogen — a substance that supports the body's ability to adapt to physical stress without overstimulation. The study attributed the observed effects to the macamide and macaene content of the black maca hypocotyl, which are benzylated fatty acids unique to Lepidium meyenii and found in no other plant. The authors concluded that black maca supplementation supports physical endurance performance, consistent with its traditional use

Differential effects of Lepidium meyenii colour variants on physical endurance, male vitality, and bone health: a comparative review

Phytotherapy Research, 2012

This comparative review examined the differential phytochemical profiles and biological activities of the three colour variants of Lepidium meyenii yellow, red, and black with particular focus on their distinct effects on physical endurance, male vitality, and bone health. Black maca was found to have the highest macamide content of the three variants and demonstrated the most pronounced effects on physical endurance and male vitality outcomes in the reviewed studies. Red maca demonstrated the most pronounced effects on bone mineral density and prostate health. Yellow maca, the most common variant, demonstrated broad general adaptogenic activity. The authors concluded that the colour variants of Lepidium meyenii represent genuinely distinct phytochemical entities with different biological activity profiles, and that black maca is the most appropriate variant for applications targeting physical endurance and male vitality consistent with its traditional Andean use

Macamides and macaenes: the benzylated fatty acids unique to Lepidium meyenii identification, quantification, and biological activity

Food Chemistry, 2015

This study characterized the macamide and macaene content of Lepidium meyenii hypocotyl across colour variants and growing conditions, with particular focus on their role as the primary bioactive compounds responsible for maca's adaptogenic properties. Macamides and macaenes were confirmed as benzylated fatty acids found exclusively in Lepidium meyenii and not present in any other plant species. Black maca hypocotyl was found to contain the highest macamide concentrations of the three colour variants. The authors identified macamide content as the most reliable indicator of maca potency and biological activity, and noted that whole hypocotyl powder preserves the full macamide and macaene profile of the raw root unlike extraction processes that may selectively concentrate or exclude specific compounds. The study concluded that macamide and macaene content is the primary determinant of maca's adaptogenic activity and that black maca hypocotyl powder provides the highest macamide density of the commercially available maca variants.
