Why Red Maca
The Rarest Colour Variant: Maca root grows in three primary colour variants: yellow (most common, approximately 60% of harvest), black (approximately 25%), and red (approximately 15%). Red maca is the rarest and is traditionally considered the most prized variety, particularly valued for its support of hormonal health and bone health.
Traditional Use: Maca has been cultivated and used in the Peruvian Andes for over 2000 years as a food and traditional tonic for energy, fertility, and vitality. It grows at altitudes of 4000 to 4500 metres above sea level, one of the harshest agricultural environments on earth, which contributes to its dense nutrient profile.
Adaptogenic Properties: Maca is classified as an adaptogen, supporting the body's natural resilience to physical and mental stress and contributing to overall vitality and wellbeing.
Certified Organic: Sourced from certified organic Peruvian maca, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers in the high-altitude Andean environment where maca naturally thrives.
Health Canada Approved: NPN 80036489 confirms safety, efficacy, and quality.
Why Gelatinized Maca
What Is Gelatinization: Gelatinization is a process that uses heat and pressure to remove the starch content from raw maca root. Despite the name, it contains no gelatin and is 100% vegan. The process concentrates the active compounds in maca while removing the starch that can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.
Superior Digestibility: Raw maca contains significant starch content that can be difficult to digest, particularly for individuals with sensitive digestion. Gelatinized maca is easier on the digestive system and better tolerated for daily use.
Concentrated Active Compounds: By removing the starch, gelatinization concentrates the bioactive compounds in maca, including glucosinolates, macamides, macaenes, and alkaloids, into a smaller, more potent serving.
Better Absorption: The removal of starch and the concentration of active compounds supports more efficient absorption of maca's bioactive constituents compared to raw maca powder.

Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs. Some individuals begin with a lower dose and gradually increase.
Energy and Stamina Support
Traditional Energy Tonic: Maca has been used for centuries in the Peruvian Andes as a traditional energy tonic, consumed by Incan warriors before battle for endurance and stamina. It supports natural energy levels without the stimulant effect of caffeine.
Non-Stimulant Energy: Unlike caffeine-based energy supplements, maca supports energy through nutritive and adaptogenic mechanisms rather than central nervous system stimulation, making it suitable for those sensitive to stimulants.
Physical Stamina: Supports physical endurance and stamina, traditionally used to support performance during demanding physical activity at high altitude.
Sustained Vitality: As an adaptogen, maca supports sustained vitality and resilience rather than short-term stimulation, contributing to overall energy and wellbeing with consistent daily use.
Hormonal Health Support
Endocrine Support: Maca is classified as an adaptogen with endocrine-supporting properties. It contains unique compounds called macamides and macaenes that are believed to support the endocrine system and hormonal balance.
Red Maca and Hormonal Health: Red maca is the colour variant most traditionally associated with hormonal health support, particularly for women. It has been studied for its support of hormonal wellbeing and is the preferred variety for this purpose in traditional Andean use.
Non-Hormonal Mechanism: Maca does not contain hormones and does not directly supply hormones to the body. It supports hormonal health through its adaptogenic and nutritive action on the endocrine system, making it distinct from hormone replacement approaches.
Mood and Emotional Wellbeing: Supports a balanced mood and emotional wellbeing as part of its adaptogenic and hormonal health support properties.
