Bulk Peruvian/Yunnan Maca Powder 80-120 Mesh Food Grade | CAS 84736-19-0

• Maca Powder (Lepidium meyenii) is a natural food ingredient processed from the rhizomes of Maca, a specialty endemic to the Peruvian Andes, via a low-temperature drying process. It is abundant in unique alkaloids (macaenes and macaamides), phytosterols and a variety of trace elements. As a classic adaptogen, it delivers traditional efficacies including boosting energy levels, regulating endocrine balance, enhancing sexual function and alleviating stress. We offer three mainstream varieties – Yellow, Black and Red Maca Powder – to meet the diverse development needs of functional foods, dietary supplements and sports nutrition products.

Q: What is Maca Powder, and what makes it a "superfood"?

A: Maca Powder is a natural fine powder processed from the dried rhizomes of Lepidium meyenii (a Brassicaceae plant) native to the Peruvian Andes, via cleaning, slicing, low-temperature drying and fine milling. It is recognized as a classic superfood and adaptogen because it retains a complete nutrient profile – including unique Maca-specific alkaloids (macaenes, macaamides), glucosinolates, phytosterols, amino acids and trace elements. Unlike single-nutrient supplements, it holistically regulates the body, supports stress resistance and boosts overall vitality, with a millennia-long safe edible history in South America.
