Maca Powder FAQ
Can't find your answer? Contact us.
How do I prepare Maca Powder?
Traditionally as a decoction (a simmered tea): 1 teaspoon per cup of water, boiled gently in a covered pan for 20 minutes, then left to settle and poured off. It is traditionally taken 1/2 cup, 2 or 3 times a day.
Who is Maca Powder for?
Adults who want to support energy and stamina* with a traditional simmered tea. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have a health condition or take medication, talk to your practitioner before use.
Is Maca Powder raw or gelatinized?
Gelatinized. The root is cooked first and only then dried and ground, so it is not raw Maca. Our Gelatinized Maca Capsules hold the same kind of root.
Is Maca a root or a fruit?
A root. The part of Maca that is harvested grows underground, like that of its cousins the radish and turnip, and that is what this bag holds, gelatinized and ground. Maca is not a fruit and does not grow on a tree.
Do you sell Maca capsules?
Yes, two kinds. Gelatinized Maca Capsules hold the same gelatinized root, and Black Maca Capsules hold root of the black color type, 500 mg in each capsule. The table above compares all three forms.
Which Raintree products also contain Maca?
Maca is one of the herbs in six capsule products: Amazon Energy Support, Athletic Support, Amazon Adrenal Support, Amazon M-Tonic, Amazon F-Tonic and Amazon Menopause Support.
