From a quick Google search, you'll find that many people do NOT like the taste of maca. That's why we use an easy to consume capsule.

There are three primary types of maca root - red, yellow, and black. All have different effects on libido.

As a warning - DO NOT buy maca that is not sourced from Peru. Maca root has traditionally been grown in Chinchayqucha (Lake Junin) at elevations of 12,500+ feet. This combined with the climate produces the nutrient dense maca root we know and love. Maca root grown in other countries doesn't have nearly the same nutritional value.

A lot of supplements use RAW maca root which is like eating a RAW potato. The starch in maca is almost indigestible (native Peruvians never eat raw maca).

Gelatinization is a process that boils the maca root to remove the starch so just the nutrients remain. This makes it easier to digest (you definitely don't want an upset stomach ruining the mood).

Our formula uses 1900mg of gelatinized maca root. Most studies will administer 1500mg to 3000mg of maca root. 1900mg is a good middle ground, especially for someone who has never taken maca root before. We recommend taking maca root for at least 12 weeks before moving to a higher dosage

Most studies and RCTs will administer maca for 8+ weeks. Around 8 weeks is generally when you will feel the full effects of maca root.
