Organic Maca Powder

I have this in a smoothie EVERY SINGLE MORNING! The taste is mild and pleasant. You could put it in oatmeal and maybe yogurt. BUT HERE'S THE DEAL, if you struggle with fatigue, this is a great product, it helps with energy and stress. It's also good for those who have low libido. And, it has been used for centuries by indigenous people for menopause symptoms and Sis, IT FREAKING WORKS! I really struggled with various menopause symptoms and wanted something natural. This really helped me; I mean I would say it gives me total relief. Then I stopped because I wanted to lessen the ingredients I was adding to my (then) expensive smoothies, but the symptoms returned. Safe to say, maca made the smoothie cut and I'll keep using it. I love that this brand is organic, it's a good amount of product for the money and it's gelatinized which helps with absorption. I really can't say enough good things about it. I don't know if it would work this great for everyone but it's well worth the try and it's nutritious too.

High quality product! I kept using it over and over again

From my observation. It help keep blood pressure at an great number. Taste is not so pleasant at first but it gets better as the taste buds get accustomed to it. No side effects to report. Have been using it for sometime now

Superfoods seem to be more plentiful today than they've ever been. One of the best, but lesser known, is an ancient root vegetable called maca, belonging to the same cruciferous family as kale and cauliflower. However, maca is most closely associated with mustard, turnip, cabbage, garden cress and watercress.1 Grown in the Peruvian mountains, maca's history is long and distinguished, as it was used even earlier than the Incans for both food and traditional medicine. Its most notable use was to proliferate fertility in both men and women and, serendipitously, increase sexual desire. That may be why another name for it is Peruvian ginseng. Today, maca is taking on new life with clinically proven and remarkable health benefits, both as a food and supplement. Studies show it to improve mood and memory, lower stress levels, treat osteoporosis, protect against UV radiation,3 help balance hormones 4 and perform a dozen other functions. Similar to a turnip, maca root (Lepidium meyenii) is the world's highest-growing cultivated crop, still flourishing in the rocky soil, high winds, intense sunlight and widely fluctuating temperatures of the Andes Mountains, at altitudes at or above 13,000 feet. Rain Tree, a tropical plant database, notes certain basics of the maca root: "It is rich in sugars, protein, starches, and essential nutrients (especially iodine and iron). The tuber or root is consumed fresh or dried. The fresh roots are considered a treat and are baked or roasted in ashes (in the same manner as sweet potatoes). The dried roots are stored and, later, boiled in water or milk to make a porridge. They also are made into a popular sweet, fragrant, fermented drink called maca chicha. In Peru even maca jam, pudding and sodas are popular. The tuberous roots have a tangy, sweet taste and an aroma similar to that of butterscotch." Maca roots are still grown, harvested, sun-dried and ground down to powder form. Its "earthy, nutty" essence is often sprinkled in such dishes as oatmeal, smoothies and trail mix. A good place to start might be 1 tablespoon daily, working up to three per day for maximum benefits.

Works well in terms of energy as a nutritional supplement, but I only need a small amount as it can be quite effective depending on your biology

I put it in my black coffee in the morning along with lions mane. It’s tasteless and makes you feel great waking up.

Mixes nicely with protein shake

Been using this for a couple years now and no complaints. one scoop on my scrambled eggs every morning along with MCT oil, turmeric, potassium chloride, a little cajun seasoning, 1/4 cup hemp hearts, and top it off with a little pepper jack cheese, then a little salsa soon as it's on my plate, yummy! This is generally around 4am, which gives me about 2 hours before I tee off and walk 6 miles around the golf course, year round under tropical heat and barely break a sweat! For reference, I'm an American, 65yo, retired and live in the beautiful tropics of the Philippines and play golf most days, year round. I've only used this product in the morning, so I couldn't comment on sleep issues at night as some have mentioned. Hope this helps!
