What is red maca?

Red maca is one of the three colors of the Peruvian maca root. It has a slightly sweeter, milder taste than black maca and is the color traditionally used in Peru for balance, mood and bone support. Red and black maca are both adaptogenic roots, good for men and women equally; the choice between them is about your needs, not your gender. Incaliving Red Maca Powder is single-color, so every teaspoon is 100% red maca root.

Why Incaliving red maca is different

• High-altitude, single origin. Grown on organic farms at about 15,000 feet in the Junin highlands, the traditional home of maca.
• Sun-dried and gelatinized. Roots dry in the sun for weeks, then a gentle heat step removes the starch. Easier on the stomach, more concentrated. No gelatin is used. 100% vegan.
• Packaged at the source, flown to the USA. Sealed on the farm and shipped by air, never by sea.
• Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten free, paleo friendly.

How to use red maca powder

One teaspoon (5 g) a day in a smoothie, coffee, oatmeal, yogurt or baking. Red maca’s mild flavor makes it the easiest color to add to almost anything. Most customers take it in the morning.

Frequently asked questions

Red maca vs black maca, which one is for me? Both are adaptogenic roots that work for men and women alike. Red maca is traditionally used for balance, calm and mood. Black maca is traditionally used for stamina, focus and energy. Pick by what you need, not by who you are. If you want both, our Triple Maca Powder blends red, black and yellow.

Is red maca only for women? No. Maca is an adaptogen and works the same way in men and women. Many men take red maca every day for balance and calm.
