Product Description

Powder sourced from organically grown maca in the Peruvian highlands. NOW grinds and encapsulates in the USA, preserving the full spectrum of phytonutrients.

What We Like

Certified organic origin
Large 90-serving pack
Non-GMO and no additives

What We’re Missing

Earthy smell when capsule is opened
750 mg is often insufficient for athletic protocols — multiple capsules needed
No documented gelatinization (raw product may irritate sensitive stomachs)

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule two to three times daily with meals, or empty into smoothies if powder is preferred.
