HOW TO USE
2oz of organic yellow maca powder 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 energy 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 energy without disrupting sleep.

ABOUT THIS HERB
Maca (Lepidium meyenii): organic yellow maca root, gelatinized and powdered for maximum bioavailability and digestive ease. Yellow maca is the most common and most versatile of the three maca varieties (yellow, red, and black), rich in glucosinolates, macamides, and a unique amino acid profile that supports hormonal signaling, adrenal health, and reproductive wellness. Used by Andean communities for millennia as both a daily food and a ceremonial medicine, maca is as much a nutrient-dense superfood as it is an herbal adaptogen.
Important: Because maca influences hormone levels, people with hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast, ovarian, uterine, and endometrial cancers, as well as those with uterine fibroids, should consult their healthcare provider before use. Maca is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to limited safety data.
Our bulk yellow maca powder is sourced from a kosher-certified, organic-certified facility 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?
Great question, and one that matters when you are buying. Yellow maca is the most widely produced and studied variety. It is the most balanced and versatile option for general hormone support, energy, and everyday wellness for both men and women. Red maca is considered the most beneficial for bone health and has shown the most promise for prostate health in men. Black maca is the rarest variety and is most associated with male fertility, sperm quality, and athletic endurance. We carry yellow maca, which is the ideal starting point for most people and the variety used in the majority of clinical research.
Can men take maca?
Absolutely. Maca benefits both men and women. In men, maca has been studied for its ability to support libido, sperm quality and motility, energy and athletic endurance, and mood. Studies have shown that maca supplementation improved sexual desire in men after 8 weeks and supported sperm concentration in men with low sperm count. Maca does not directly raise testosterone levels, but it supports the systems that regulate male hormonal health.
Is maca good for hormone balance and menopause?
Yes. Maca is one of the most studied natural supplements for hormonal balance and menopausal support. It works through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to support the body's own hormone production rather than introducing exogenous hormones. Women going through perimenopause and menopause have reported improvements in hot flashes, mood, energy, and sleep quality with regular maca use. It is a popular daily supplement for women seeking natural hormonal support at every stage of life.
Is maca safe for people with hormone-sensitive cancers?
Because maca influences 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 or have had any of these conditions, please consult your oncologist or healthcare provider before taking maca.
Does maca give you energy?
Yes. Maca supports sustained, steady energy by nourishing the adrenal glands and supporting healthy cortisol balance. Unlike caffeine, it does not cause a crash. Most people notice improved endurance, mental clarity, and morning energy within two to four weeks of consistent daily use.
