HOW TO USE
Malty, earthy, and deeply nourishing, organic yellow maca powder is a caffeine-free bulk herb made for your daily wellness ritual. 2oz yields approximately 12 to 15 servings, depending on your dose.
Add one teaspoon to smoothies, warm oat milk, cacao, or coffee for a malty, earthy boost. Maca powder blends beautifully into golden milk lattes, adaptogen smoothies, and herbal hot chocolates. Start with half a teaspoon and increase gradually to one to two teaspoons daily. Maca is best taken in the morning or early afternoon to support steady energy without disrupting sleep.
Organic yellow maca root has been harvested for over 3,000 years in the Peruvian Andes, where indigenous communities have relied on it as a food, a fertility tonic, and a daily source of stamina and vitality. Herbalist-sourced by Kendra, founder and herbalist of The Herbal Scoop, our bulk maca powder is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY so you always get the freshest, most potent maca available.

ABOUT THIS HERB
Maca (Lepidium meyenii): organic yellow maca root, gelatinized and powdered for easier digestion. Yellow maca is the most common and most versatile of the three maca varieties (yellow, red, and black), rich in glucosinolates, macamides, and a distinct amino acid profile studied for its role in hormonal signaling and reproductive wellness. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that small clinical studies have explored maca for menopausal symptoms and sexual function, with NCCIH describing the evidence as preliminary and the studies as generally small. Used by Andean communities for millennia as both a daily food and a ceremonial herb, maca is as much a nutrient-dense staple as it is an adaptogen.
Important: Because maca may influence hormone levels, anyone with a hormone-sensitive condition, including hormone-sensitive cancers or uterine fibroids, should consult their healthcare provider before use. Maca is not recommended during pregnancy or while breast/chest feeding due to limited safety data.
Our bulk maca powder is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and packed to order in small batches in Narrowsburg, NY to ensure maximum freshness and potency. Available in 2oz, 4oz, and 8oz so you can order exactly what your ritual requires.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between yellow, red, and black maca?
Yellow maca is the most widely produced and most studied variety, and the one most commonly used for general hormone and energy support in both men and women. Red and black maca are less common varieties that have been explored in smaller studies for more specific uses. We carry yellow maca because it's the most versatile starting point and the variety most represented in the available research.
Can males take maca?
Yes. Maca is traditionally used by both men and women. Small studies have looked at maca's relationship to libido, sperm parameters, and exercise performance in men, though researchers describe the body of evidence as limited and call for larger trials. Maca does not directly raise testosterone, but it has traditionally been used to support the body's broader hormonal balance.
Is maca good for hormone balance during menopause?
Maca has a long history of traditional use for hormonal wellness, including during perimenopause and menopause. Some small studies suggest it may support mood, energy, and a sense of well-being during this transition, though NCCIH and other research bodies describe the evidence as preliminary. It is not a substitute for professional healthcare guidance, and anyone managing menopausal symptoms should talk with their healthcare provider about a complete plan.
Is maca safe for people with hormone-sensitive health conditions?
Because maca may influence hormone levels, it is not recommended for people with hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast, ovarian, uterine, or endometrial cancers, or for those with uterine fibroids. If you have a history of any of these conditions, please consult your healthcare provider before adding maca to your routine.
Does maca support energy?
Maca has traditionally been used to support steady, sustained energy and stamina without the crash associated with caffeine. Many people notice a difference in endurance and daily energy after a few weeks of consistent use, though individual results vary and formal research in this area remains limited.
