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.
