Excellent source of organic maca.
Maca is a superfood, adaptogen, that I consume daily. It is an acquired taste, mind you. I usually add it to coffee, along with mushroom powder blend and protein powder (sometimes a collagen powder, and often chocolate flavored). This is what I call my superman, superfood morning cup of coffee. Some studies have shown vast health benefits from maca consumption. It's contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and generally considered to be nutrient dense. It helps with energy, mood, general well being and hormonal balances, too.<br />The company notes that they "tested dozens of samples from various suppliers around the country, and based our choice on organic quality, flavor profile, 3rd party testing, and country of origin.  WE DO NOT SOURCE OUR INGREDIENTS FROM CHINA" (Note: country mentioned is Peru.) I mention this aspect because many are concerned about the purity and integrity of supplements/foods with China origination. And, with maca being a native product of Peru, it makes sense to get the 'real' thing from the proper source.<br />The label has certifications/badges for: Gluten-free, Soy-free, Non-GMO, Packaged In USA and USDA Organic. The certification for USDA Organic is comforting. I wish they also had FDA registered facility and/or cGMP certifications.<br />The scent and taste of this maca is exactly as expected. I feel that it's an excellent source for quality maca.<br />This product merits a 4.5 - 4.75 star rating, with a very high level recommendation.
Rating: 5 stars
