nutrient-dense superfood
Maca (commonly known as Peruvian Ginseng) is indigenous to the Andes mountains of Peru. This time-tested botanical is revered for its many health-promoting properties.
Youtheory® Maca Root captures the power of this revitalizing superfood… to help you achieve greater balance and a renewed sense of well-being.
what is an adaptogen
Maca is a true adaptogen: safe for long-term use, exerts broad effects in the body, reduces the impact of stress. Maca contains no hormones but possesses a broad range of nutrients that can help tonify the body’s endocrine (hormone) system.*
the benefits of gelatinization
Our Maca is 100% Peruvian grown and sustainably sourced. It is always gelatinized for easier digestion. Gelatinization uses extreme pressure to remove all of the starch content, which makes the resulting powder easier to digest and the nutrients more bioavailable. Removing starch also means that our Maca provides more nutrients, gram for gram than regular maca powders.
