Organic Maca Root Powder
Maca root
Common Name: Maca
Botanical Name: Lepidium meyenii
Other Names: Peruvian ginseng
Growing Area: Peru
Maca (Lepidium meyeneii) is a plant native to the Peruvian highland, and resembles a small brown turnip. Maca thrives in the harshest, most difficult to cultivate farmlands of the world. It grows at elevations between 10,000 and 15,000 feet, on the barren high plateaus of the central Ande Mountains, where it has evolved to withstand intense sunlight, fierce winds, and sub-zero temperatures. Today, the Maca root is obtained from the pollution free Andean Highlands of Peru.
It is believed to boost libido and energy levels, as well as increasing physical stamina, and performance. Maca root possesses the unusual ability to adapt to your body's metabolism, while simultaneously working to increase your energy, and overall vitality.
Maca is a natural energy booster that reduces fatigue and promotes energy and stamina for everyday activities. It is also a powerful anti-aging agent that increases and intensifies vitality.
Historical Use
Maca has been cultivated and used by the native people of Peru for over 2000 years, as a method of promoting endurance, stamina, strength, and improve vitality, energy and fertility.
Shamans and sorcerers used the Maca root during the performance of many traditional rituals. During the Spanish occupation of the Inca Empire, its use was forbidden due to the Spanish belief that the maca root was linked to pagan practices that were inconsistent with the ongoing religious domination of the Incan population.
Maca continued to be used by the Andean populations, particularly within regions where gold was mined.
Health Benefits
Maca root is a natural herb that has been traditionally used by those seeking to increase energy levels and sexuality. Ingesting maca root has been known to increase libido, sperm count, in addition to fertility in both sexes.
Providing stamina and endurance, maca root promotes mental clarity while providing relief from symptoms of fatigue, hot flashes and anxiety (all commonly associated with menopause.)
Maca root re-establishes the physical harmony of the body while also rebuilding strength, reducing stress and creating a hormonal balance. The key to maca's stamina effects appears to be two groups of novel compounds called macamides and macaenes. Because of its regulating effects on the endocrine system, maca also helps to build a strong immune system.
Maca has also traditionally been used to lubricate stiff arthritic joints, and ease respiratory illness.
Nutritional Value
Maca root contains substantial amounts of amino acids and complex carbohydrates, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, and E. It is also rich in minerals, notably calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium, and phosphorous, and also contains fatty acids such as linolenic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acids.
Dosage/Onset of Action
The daily dosage of maca may range between 500mg to 2,000mg, however, in regards to long term use, the suggested dosage is not to exceed 500mg/day. Enhancements in libido have been reported within the first few days of usage, although it is important to allow several days for the root to take effect. Maca is not a potent aphrodisiac.
- Maca root - use approximately 1/2 teaspoon per day
- Maca root extract 4:1 - use approximately 1/4 teaspoon per day
Warnings
There have been no significant side effects found to be caused by ingesting maca root, however, as with most supplements, extended use on a daily basis is not always advised. Maca is not recommended for women on birth control pills or women who are pregnant or lactating. Anyone who has, or has had a hormone-dependent cancer should consult their physician before use. Maca is not recommended for use by persons under the age of 18, and should be kept out of the reach of children. Anyone with illness, kidney problems, blood in their urine, or taking any form of medication should always consult their doctor before use.

Customer Reviews
Great service and turnaround times.
I think that Sam’s teas and spices is a fabulous company. I love their service and their products. Thank you!
It tastes great. I would rather not pay for shipping cost because the cost could go towards another product.
I have ordered this over and over again. It's the best value and quality I have been able to find online or in-store.
A bit of a bitter taste but good for you.

Sam's Teas has amazing service, quick and reliable, love them.
Love the product and the taste, but packaging need to improve. Difficulty to
take out the bag and the 'zip' seal is not 100%, I accidentally drop the bag, and the powder content spill out all over the place.
Excellent transaction in every way. Thank you.

Love the energy boost from maca powder in my morning smoothie.
Thanks Sam's Teas & Spices for all your great products!
I am in my late seventies and a few months ago I was feeling kinda sluggash with little energy. I saw an ad for organic maca root powder from Samsteaandspices. I ordered some and gave it a try(I had read an article on the benefits of maca) and I am glad I did. I put a teaspoonful on my hot cereal each morning and have more energy to get stuff done. I am now on my second 1lb bag and will continue buying this product from Sams.
I love all the products that I have received! You are an amazing company, your products are high quality and taste great! I use them everyday!
This is a great quality Maca, and this is coming from someone who is very particular about the superfood's quality he buys. It's dark Maca though, so if you are searching for the lighter and creamier type then I'd suggest you email Sam first. Personally, I prefer the darker one as it gives me a stronger jolt of energy). Great gift for health-wise people.
I mix maca in my green drinks every morning and I am off and running! No need for coffee.
Great price and quality
I love the Maca Root, I have felt great since starting it, this product, like all the rest from here, are super high quality
very satisfied with the product & the price.
It tastes good and you only need a bit so it lasts a long time
Purchased this product 1 month ago and cannot believe how much better I feel. More energy and better moods.
I was used to buying Maca root powder @ local health food stores but Sam's is just so much better--this is what Maca root should taste like & the price, well, just cannot be beat! Thanks Sam.
real product , very nice
I have introduced so many family members & friends to Sam's for their Maca root powder. Quality & price & service can't be beat!
Love this!! Gives me great energy!! Great price and will definitely order again!!
Aside from the usual reasons people use Maca Root, I tried it as a joint lubricant. I quickly discovered that it works very well and very quickly. I'm no longer doing the zombie walk in the morning and the Maca will make any nastier tasting herb paletable in a smoothy Potent, Great Taste, Versatile!!
A great product. I love all the products from this company and their customer service is outstanding.
Great product, prompt delivery and actually taste good too.
I knew of Maca's reputation in the libido area. Great reviews for millennia. I was researching herbs for arthritis because I was so stiff I could barely get down the stairs in the morning. Maca's amazing. Handles stiffness issues in all the right places. Lol. Add it to juices to improve flavours of any nasty tasting herbs. Maca with Sams organic cocoa and pure maple syrup makes any nasty herbal concoction taste like a chocolate shake!! Try it.
Thank You For The Maca Powder

I am very happy with my purchase from Sam's--I've bought Maca root from other places but this is by far the best ever. The service was excellent & I had my purchase within days. Thank you so much--I am telling everyone about your website.
Great product!
I use this product to improve my protein shakes. I also add it to my soups to help improve my health.
I'm only 2 weeks into using this product so too early to know the full benefits, but I do feel I notice having more energy than usual. I enjoy the taste and find it goes very well with my chocolate protein drink. While the product is not cheap, your price during the Wagjag promotion was excellent and I'm hoping you consider doing it again. Looking forward to enjoying a full range of health benefits from maca root powder!
Very happy with my order. Great product at a GREAT price!! I'll be back.
I am very happy with the quality of product, packaging and very quick delivery that Sam provides every time I place an order. Will definitely be ordering from him again.
I received my shipment of Macca and was pleasantly surprised to see several free samples along with my order. I've been using the Macca for a few weeks now and I'm feeling great.
Excellent product! Love that it is organic and pure!! Delivered in 2 days! Great price on wag jag!! Highly recommend!
I have been drinking the tea since I received it and I never guessed that my dear wife would give in to try it but after the second day I said to her"why don't you taste it?" and she did and now takes a cup every day as I do, it may bey a little too soon as I only received my first Order a week or so ago and after my wife read that it is supposed to help with energy and such she asked me to order some for our daughter as she has been complaining lately of not having any ambition.
