This Supplement Is In Capsules That Are The Very Best Healthy Vegetable PULLULAN. Which Means No Taste, No Chemicals & No E Numbers
We recommend Gelatinized Maca for anyone with a sensitive stomach as the absence of starch makes it easy to digest. Maca is a potent superfood root from the Andes Mountains of Peru that has been used by indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years. Gelatinized Maca Powder is a concentrated form made by extracting the starch - which makes the nutrition easier to digest and absorb. Our Gelatinized Premium Maca is made using a unique process. Instead of being sundried after harvest, the fresh roots are immediately cleaned, ground into a pulp and low temperature dried to produce a powder, which is then gelatinized to dissolve most starch content. This careful and quick handling preserves more vital nutrients of the Maca roots and makes for a significantly more potent product. Gelatinized Premium Maca is easier to digest than a Raw Maca powder making it suitable for the majority of people. It takes about 4 kg of Raw Maca roots to produce 1 Kg of Gelatinized Maca powder, making it more concentrated than Raw Maca. Our Premium Maca powder contains a combination of about 30% Red, 40% Yellow and 30% Black Maca roots. Given the special handling and combination of Maca colors, Premium Maca Powder is in our opinion the best all-purpose Maca for both Men and Women. The 2 major advantages of using Gelatinized Maca are: Easier digestion - because the starch is mostly dissolved Gelatinized Maca is easier on the stomach More concentrated nutrients - the absence of starch means that gram for gram, Gelatinized Maca is more concentrated than Raw Maca powders The 2 major disadvantages of using Gelatinized Maca are: Loss of enzymes - high heat destroys all enzymes, which limits the full absorption of Maca powder Loss of glucosinolates - high heat alters these sensitive hormone balancing nutrients making them less effective Is Gelatinized Maca right for you? If you have a generally sensitive stomach or any other issue with digestion, then Gelatinized Maca is the best choice you can make. The reason is simple. While Raw Maca can cause temporary symptoms like bloating, gas or upset stomach (in about 5% of people), the gelatinized powder simply will not do so. If you don't have any digestive concerns we recommend going with one of our Raw Maca powders. Peruvian Maca roots grow in only 3 colour groups: They get their names Red Or Black Or Yellow due to the colour of the bulbous root itself, yet the raw supplement powders are all a similar fawn colour, mostly a light fawn but sometimes it is darker depending on the harvest. White to yellow roots are made into Yellow/Cream Maca powder Light pink through to a dark purple roots are made into Red Maca powder. Light gray to dark gray roots are made into Black Maca powder

In food-bearing plants, glucosinolates act as natural pesticides and are stored in the plant’s cells, ready to be released upon tissue damage. Similarly, when consumed by humans, the action of chewing releases the glucosinolates into the body.
