Anthony's Organic Maca Root Powder, 1 lb, Gelatinized for Enhanced Bioavailability, Gluten Free, Non GMO

I bought this because of the health benefits that maca has and purchased the geletinized ( this kind) because it is supposed to digest better and decrease upset stomach that typical raw Maca can have. Flavor: I have tried both raw and gelatinized Maca and noticed that the gelatinized has a deeper flavor than the raw kind. The flavor resembles butterscotch or caramel but I imagine that with a vegetable taste also. Macha is a type of radish and so if you can imagine the combination of those two that's what it's like. It's really not bad, but I don't mind most things when it comes to taste. Mix ability: better than the raw, it has a tendency to clump up some but it's fairly easy with just a spoon. Health benefits: this is the whole reason I got the stuff, mainly because my body had had too much caffeine and my adrenal glands were pretty wore out. Maca is a Whole Foods that is also adaptogenic meaning that it affects your hormones and adapt to what is lacking in your body. It does give you a boost of energy especially the first couple weeks of taking it. After the initial couple weeks The feeling wore off but I do have more energy throughout the day, don't get sleepy after lunchtime and as a whole I feel much better. I typically do 10 g a day which is 2 teaspoons and I mix it up with water and drink it straight in the morning on an empty stomach so it can fully absorb. I would start out with maybe 3 or 5 g because if you're not sensitive to stimulants then it could be strong. I've been taking it for about four months and I do not plan to stop, especially with this brand! It was pretty fair priced and it delivered what it promised! Good job Anthony, 3whoever you are!

Awesome flavor and the quality of the product it was outstanding.! 100% recommend

I am a 39 year old female. Had a baby 3 years ago. Nursed the last 3 years and nursing has completely killed my sex drive. Affects estrogen, and it was so bad I couldn’t reach an orgasm AT ALL! Not gonna lie, it was devastating not being able to experience ANY pleasure. I cried, I was so devastated. Figured I’d give Maca a try. Taste is malty, a bit bitter. I have 1 tsp in a cup of very warm milk, with some honey. Honey helps cut the bitterness. The effects of this are immediate!!! I could feel the old randy feelings returning right away! I typically have this drink at night before bed, and Lord, oh Lord, woke up in the morning feeling like I was 20 again 🤣 Needless to say, my orgasms are back, my mood is absolutely back, and another interesting “side effect” I’ve noticed is my thigh volume is coming back as well. The fat distribution is definitely happening. Nursing typically depletes the thigh fat for the baby brain boosting healthy fat that’s stored in our thighs. My thighs shrunk during nursing, and I’m noticing my curves are coming back 😏😏😏 Not gonna lie, I’m not even sure what other benefits there are lol. I’m so happy I’m coming back in the sexy department, that’s all I need it for! 😀 I highly HIGHLY recommend this product and will buying more!

Maca root is purported to aid in libido and function. I found a possible increase in libido, but no improvement as far as function.

I've tried many different brands of Maca in my life but Anthony's has got to be the strongest and most potent Maca I've ever consumed. A full teaspoon is way too much. Even half a teaspoon is more than you need. Just one-fourth of a teaspoon a day in the morning after breakfast is all you really need. If you consume too much, it doesn't work as well and may even cause the reverse effect that you were looking for. You have to take it really slow with this stuff and take a day or two break once in a while to hit the reset button.

Though this is a super excellent quality Maca and I love the rich taste and smell, it is not for everyone. I have noticed being on it that I have not been sleeping very well for the last 4 weeks and wasn't sure why. Knowing what I've heard from the past that Maca can give a lot of energy I looked up that benefit and sure enough it is reported to also cause insomnia as a side effect. Now after being off it for just 4 days I'm finally getting a good nights sleep the last two nights. It can really be detrimental to lose sleep over time, my memory was not doing too well and I was dragging myself all the time, felt no motivation from being so tired. Now I'm getting it back like before. Even though this is an energy herb and some people might not have sleep issues taking it if you do then it defeats its purpose for giving more energy. Some might take it for libido enhancement but even with that if you consistently lose sleep over time your not going to have good stamina, mood or libido. I'm not sure how this works in most others, but just to say be aware of this potential issue happening with you.

I've reordered this product 4 times! I add it to my smoothies nearly every morning and feel great throughout the day. It gives me a steady boost of energy and mixes well. It has a nutty taste and smell that isn't too strong and it's easy to digest if you have problems absorbing supplements or vitamins. If any ladies are looking to gain or enhance your curves naturally this helps a lot, with exercise of course!

You can tell someone that Onions/XYZ (in your socks) helps for ZYX/headache, and they'll agree. Though merchants claim there's an alleged mechanism of action, not just wishful thinking, this is not the case either through significant acute dosing or prolonged use. Caffeine has a genuine mechanism of action, and *all* are witness. There's a notable and honest effect through honest remedies after acute and/or prolonged use; there's also a selfdeceptive approach to remedies, and this is most notable in those who never truly had issues to begin with. Vitamin D and an activated Vitamin B Complex can definitely be useful for those seeking energy, + moderate caffeine (~4 tablespoons for 120lb body); pair this with daily cardio. A stable energy is better than unstable bursts of energy. Though this root is useless acutely and after being tested for a month+, it is very delicious. It's very good with almond milk. There are needy people who use Medication X (or Caffeine + Health Regimen Y), and through this dedication they are still not even at the Bare Minimum others naturally stand on. The people who never needed caffeine seek replacements to fill a need they never truly had: energy and focus. Do not take their words seriously. Keep taking caffeine if you must. (I don't drink sugary and candy-like coffee; Just Black, and I drink it immediately = as One Dose. + Fruit 🍊 to take away the bitter aftertaste.) Tea is useless for genuine anxiety disorders, which *are* neurochemical based, so putting Onions in your socks is not going to help. (Tea = selfdeceiving and blind effort never hitting the source issue 🎯. Those who don't have serious need 'benefit' even from Onions/tea.) Feel free to buy this as delicious 'tea,' if you will. This really smells so delicious! For the price, it really is a great alternative to tea; and no microplastics end up in you through teabags. It's unfortunate this doesn't really have much nutritional value, either. 20 grams of this in one serving = ineffective 5 grams daily for +4 weeks = ineffective In the maca world, this specific product delivers significant more bang for the buck, though.
