Maca is a Peruvian super root that is known to be a powerful adaptogen. This is our favorite superfood in a slightly different form. Gelatinized powder is not a gelatin, it is a simple heat process that breaks down the starches in the maca root, allowing for easier digestion. Maca helps balance the stress levels and bolster energy and resiliency in the body. The properties in maca powder are vital to fighting day-to-day stress and enabling health and well-being.
