  • Maca is a root that grows in the mineral rich volcanic soil of Bolivia and Peru. It grows in intense climates where no other plant survives, absorbing the nutrients of the rich soil all to itself.

    Known as a stress adaptogen, Maca curtails the effects of stress, whether physical or mental, by regenerating the adrenal glands and lowering cortisol levels (Cortisol is a hormone released by the body when it is stressed). When cortisol is low, people are able to sleep deeply (resulting with less hours of sleep needed) and function more efficiently. Maca is also rich in sterols which promote regeneration of fatigued muscles, leading to quicker recovery from physical stress.

    Other benefits of Maca include curbing sugar and carbohydrate cravings, as well as balancing hormones in men and in women through its alkaloids that nourish the endocrine system (Maca balances testosterone levels in men; it also regulates reproductive hormones in women, lessening the impact of dysmenorrhea and alleviating menopausal imbalance). In short, Maca helps us recover faster, function better, and bust through our stress limits, making it a true superfood.

    NOTES on Maca Power:

    • Maca energizes you and the common experience of users (after 3-5 days) is that they wake up feeling refreshed and raring to go, even with less hours of sleep (attributed to deeper, better quality sleep).
    • Maca boosts energy from the inside out through superior nourishment, versus caffeine and other stimulants, which provide "borrowed energy" that we pay for later.
    • Another common experience is that users have longer endurance in physical training and recovery is faster
    • When used regularly (about 1/2 to 1 tsp a day), women notice that they no longer experience menstrual cramps
  • Take 1/2 to 1 tsp daily. Mix with your daily green smoothie or with water, if need be. We recommend starting out with 1/4-1/2 teaspoon per day (can also be split into 2 servings throughout the day, 1/4 tsp each), then building up to 1/2-1 tsp per day.

    Maca's effects are felt cumulatively so consuming routinely everyday will bring a bigger benefit than just taking occasionally. Usually, effects are felt after about a week of daily consumption.

    Maca is non-toxic and plant-based, there are no negative effects. Elite athletes take up to 1-2 tbsp a day during heavy training. If more than 2 tbsp, the marginal benefits decrease and added dosage does not provide any additional benefits.

    Taking too much maca too soon could be detrimental as the body is not used to it. For those just starting out, we recommend just starting with 1/4-1/2 tsp before increasing dosage gradually (for about 3 days). Maca is a powerful superfood and should be consumed with respect especially by first timers. We cannot emphasize this enough, as its best to start with a small dosage, typically 1/4-1/2 tsp and build up slowly.

    A 1/2 lb bag lasts around 1.5 months if taking 1 tsp a day, and a 1 lb bag usually lasts 3 months.

    Maca is suitable for all ages, as well. For children, we recommend lowering the dosage to 1/8-1/4 tsp

    Taking a one day break from maca every week or a few days a month maintains the body's responsiveness to maca's nourishing effects. You can also consume Maca by cooking it with food and experience similar benefits.

  • "This product could possibly be the best thing I've ever taken, I haven't slept this good since I was a kid. I only sleep 4-5 hours but I feel incredible when I wake up! This also works really great with recovery, I almost never feel sore anymore!" 

    Jonas Ruiz


    "First time I tried maca I could already feel its effects. No longer would I need coffee or energy drinks to start out my day. Adding this to my shake every morning before I train has kept me more alert and focused when training jiu-jitsu."

    Ronald de Villa


    "I started taking superfoods about 2-3 weeks ago because I wanted to take control of my life and start living healthy. Not just for me, but for my 21-month old son and my husband. I'm not particularly healthy in terms of food intake, nor do I have an active lifestyle! I'm always sleepy and tired. I have trouble sleeping also. But once I started taking The Superfood Grocer's Maca Power, I've been having better sleep and I'm definitely more energetic. No more cranky mommy in the morning. I even started doing yoga at home! I'm determined to continue this journey because I can really see the changes it does to my body and perspective in life." 

    Roxi Santiago, Mommy Blogger, mommyroxi.com


    “Green smoothies work! Totally swear by your maca powder! I feel stress / anxiety-free and waking up feels great in the morning. I also feel more energized and less sluggish / lazy, now able to train 4-5x a week. Thank you The Superfood Grocer!" 

    Gerald Martin Go


    "I love that you’ve made plant-based nutrition available here at very low prices. I've been taking maca for a couple of weeks now and I've seen the boost in my energy levels. I've been sleeping like a baby, recovering faster (read: shorter sleep), and waking up very refreshed. I love it! Kulang na lang talaga magising ako na may make-up at kumanta ako ng good morning sa inyo."

    Jessica Cuenca


    "Maca is the supplement for alpha males."

    Kjell Pineda


    "Maca is amazing. I used to feel imbalanced from lack of sleep and lack of proper nutrition, which led to lack of energy, lack of exercise, and whacked food cravings. After taking a tsp of maca regularly, I experienced deep sleep and woke up feeling refreshed way before my alarm clock. My energy increased as a result of maca's nourishment (not by drinking coffee or other stimulants). I no longer feel tired or sleepy throughout the day. I feel great! I also no longer crave for sweets or carbs. And for the females, my dysmenorrhea (which used to make me crawl in pain) has completely disappeared. Awesome superfood this is."

    Carmela


    "I wake up feeling alert and have better, more productive mornings since I started taking maca. It generally makes me feel more energized throughout the day. Definitely keeping the habit of taking just a tiny bit everyday."

    Adrian Guggenheim


    "Maca saved my grades!"

    Luis Mison


    "Ever since I started taking Maca, I feel more energized during the day and sleep better at night. I mix it with my protein shake after training. Next day, I feel that I'm good to go. No sore muscles!"

    Nino de Jesus


    "Definitely a must-have for everybody. Since I started taking maca, I slept soundly and I wake up refreshed and energized. I don't feel so sluggish and sleepy at work anymore even though I work at night, even if I trained before going to work. Maca will definitely stay on top of my stack!"

    Jean Philipp Maglonzo


    "Maca is definitely a must for anyone working in a high-stress environment!"

    Terry Ridon


    "9 hours of work + 4 hours of training is possible with maca powder! I never felt energized even with 4 hours of sleep! GO MACA!"

    Ren Loja


    "Sleep and PROPER REST is very important for me with the schedule I keep. Maca powder has considerably allowed me to maximize my rest. It's not so hard to get up in the morning anymore and I feel rejuvenated when I wake up. Go all-natural, guys. Go maca!"

    Ali Sulit


    "Maca powder is the best! I stopped taking other supplements when Ralph advised me to try maca. I feel more alive when I wake up in the morning and ready for training! Naalala ko tuloy si Rafa Mendes [iconic international Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion] tinanong niya si Ralph if he can put 3 spoons of maca in his smoothie"

    Eros Baluyot, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion


    "Normally, my colds would progress to cough, couldn't get up from bed and had to take antibiotics, takes about a week to get better. I've been taking maca, camu camu, coco nibs and chia with my green smoothies the past 3 months, been exercising and eating mostly plant based diet, almost 100percent, to which I attribute my strength and quick recovery. No need for antibiotics this time. It's worth a try!"

    Paulette


    “The Superfood Grocer is being run by a passionate dancer

    athlete couple who are vibrant examples of what super living is all about. Their superfoods are at such a great deal!”

    Asha Peri, Dahon Kusina / Leaf Kitchen


    Just want to share with you. I'm taking my green smoothie everyday (except for 3 days when i was out of town) for a month now. I really saw the improvement in the quality of my sleep. I was inspired by your healthy vegan lifestyle and the book "eat to live". So now, i'm on my 8th day of my "almost vegetarian" diet. This is a big step for me since i do not like the taste of raw green leafy vegetables. But now i'm starting to like it. I hope i can continue this and adopt this as a lifestyle. Thank you for introducing this to me. More power to superfoods!
