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

very bad

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!

I have just started out with this brand and while it is early days, I have already noticed an improvement with my energy. Other brands always said 1 tablespoon daily but this brand suggests 1 teaspoon and if I can already feel an effect, I would say this product is worth it!

From the glowing reviews I expected better results but perhaps my fatigue (a side effect of immunotherapy) is too deep set. After two and a half weeks of taking a tablespoon per day, I am starting to feel a little better.

I love the gelatinized form because its super easy on digestion with fewer adverse side effects. The taste is very pleasant and earthy; I mix a little into my oatmeal or juice and it's great! No strong smell and high quality value for the price. It seems effective, and this brand always delivers high quality products!
