Since the days of the Inca Empire, Maca has been used as a caffeine-free, plant-based performance enhancer.
Grown and cultivated in the volcanic soils of the high Peruvian Andes, Maca thrives in this extreme environment.
Traditionally used to promote energy and vitality, and support a healthy libido for men and women, the power of
Maca is now available in a convenient powder. Gaia Herbs Maca root is sustainably and ecologically harvested
by our trusted partners in the pristine, high-altitude Peruvian Andes, the native habitat of the Maca plant.
The dried Maca roots are then steam and pressure extracted using a process known as gelatinization,
to cleanly remove starches, leaving just the beneficial plant parts — for a more concentrated, easily
digestible maca root supplement. The lack of starch means that gram for gram, Gelatinized Maca
is more concentrated than raw Maca powder, plus it's easier on the tummy for those
with a sensitive stomach or who have trouble digesting starch.
