NOW Foods Maca (Lepidium meyenii) 750 mg Cruda - 90 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is Maca (Lepidium meyenii)?

Maca, scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, is a plant native to the Peruvian Andes. Its root has been traditionally consumed as food in the Andean region. NOW Foods presents this maca in its raw and gelatinized form, a process that concentrates its nutrients without using animal-derived ingredients.

Characteristics of NOW Foods Maca 750 mg product

This supplement offers 750 mg of raw maca per vegetable capsule. The gelatinization process naturally removes starch, obtaining a more concentrated extract. It is important to note that "gelatinized" does not imply the use of animal gelatin: it is a completely vegetable process. The product is Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, vegetarian, kosher and gluten-free certified. In addition, NOW Foods has NPA's GMP A-rated certification, which guarantees quality at every stage of manufacturing.

How is gelatinized maca obtained?

Gelatinized maca is produced through a process that involves cooking the maca root to gelatinize its starches, which facilitates digestion and allows for a higher concentration of nutrients. This method does not use chemicals or animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The result is a fine powder that is encapsulated to offer a precise and convenient dose.
