If you are looking for drug-free pep, then Maca is the thing. I bought the red maca because it seemed to have more nutrients. But, I'll probably be buying the black maca as well and simply mix and combine the two colors together. Their website says you have to wait a month for any effects, but I felt more energized after the first use. And it's not that artificial caffeine buzz you get from coffee. Anyone looking to wean themselves off of caffeine should try this in decaf or hot chocolate. The flavor is an acquired taste and I think it could be used as a natural sweetener, but more of a sharper, smoky deep sweet like a clove, or a smoky chicory-----which is what this maca flavor is like.  If you've been buying generic Maca, or store-bought Maca, there is a difference. Maca Team's maca feels far more potent to me, with a deeper, richer flavor than store-bought.  It's very hard to find gelatinized red maca in the Grocery Store, so I was thrilled that Maca Team has it, and the convenience of gelatinized saves me the trouble of having to cook anything raw.  The packaging is great but it is very powdery, so I gently spoon out what I need, as opposed to trying to pour it from the package.  Again, I'm done buying Maca at the Grocery Store. And, I will certainly be buying more from the Maca Team.
