What is it?
Gelatinized Maca powder does not refer to a mixture of Maca powder and gelatin, as some would think. Gelatinization refers to the process of breaking down starch chains in the Maca root (by pre-cooking the roots under controlled temperature conditions), thus making the root powder more easily digested and Maca’s active ingredients more concentrated and more quickly absorbed by the body. Gelatinized Maca Powder is great for sensitive stomachs as well as for those who are looking for a faster-acting and more concentrated /potent effect of Maca..
So what is Maca? Ancient Inca warriors are historically known to consume Maca for strength and stamina before battles due to its powerful energy-boosting properties. Maca, popularly regarded as the Peruvian Ginseng, is a cruciferous root vegetable grown in the Andes mountains. Both men and women in Peru have been consuming this superfood for centuries to improve energy, vitality, libido and fertility. Maca root has also been shown in modern days to be beneficial for all sorts of hormonal problems including PMS and menopause.
Maca root nourishes and rejuvenates the endocrine (hormonal) system, thus balancing naturally the production of hormones in the body. Maca does not contain hormones. The balancing effect of maca on the hormones can positively affect any system in the body that is out of balance - hormones regulate and affect our mood, growth, sexual development, energy level, and tissue function.
Known as an adaptogen, Maca responds to different bodies' needs individually. Adaptogens increase immunity by gradually improving the overall ability of the entire body to take on challenging and stressful situations. Maca's energizing effect is due both to its rich nutritional content (proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.) and its adaptogenic effect on the adrenal glands (part of the endocrine system).
Spoon Health’s Superfoods’ Gelatinized Maca Root Powder is a special blend of yellow, red and black Maca roots, and hails from the high elevations of the Peruvian Andes. The certified organic maca roots are sun-dried (not oven-dried) before going through the process of gelatinization (under controlled temperature conditions) to break down the starch chains for easier digestion and absorption.

How to use
Gelatinized Maca Root Powder has a distinctive butterscotch-nutty taste and aroma (some people are fine with the taste, others are not). It has a slightly toasted aroma, as compared to Raw Maca Root Powder. Its main nutrients and active components are not heat- sensitive, so it can be used in both hot and cold recipes. Maca should be taken during day time, as night-time consumption may result in insomnia.
How to enjoy Gelatinized Maca Root Powder :
1. Add maca powder directly to smoothies, yoghurt, juices, beverages, teas. The taste of Maca powder can go well (complementary) with cocoa drinks, coffee, nut milks (for example almond milk).
2. Bake into cakes/cookies.
3. Add into desserts or sweet treats.
As Gelatinized Maca Powder and Raw Maca Powder are similar in taste and aroma, the recipes are interchangeable.
Recommended intake: 1/3 (one-third) to 1 teaspoon(4g) a day, for adults. Start with 1/3 teaspoon for the first few days to observe your body's response (a little can go a long way in the case of maca). Take 1-2 days off a week (or 1 week off a month) so that your body will remain responsive to maca's phytonutrients.
For children, they can take 1/3 (one-third) teaspoon of maca powder, not necessarily on a daily basis.
Maca may not be suitable for pregnant women, as with most other herbal supplements. Those who have thyroid conditions or want to avoid iodine, might want to avoid taking maca.
Health benefits
Maca is a highly nutritious health supplement for both men and women. These are the health benefits :
1. Increases Energy and Stamina Levels - combats physical and mental fatigue and stress. Maca's energizing effect is due to its rich nutritional content (proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.) and its adaptogenic effect on the adrenal glands (part of the endocrine system). Also suitable for athletes and bodybuilders who are interested in increasing stamina and building muscle mass.
2. A Natural Remedy for Menopause - helps alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, fatigue, low sex drive. etc.
3. Slows the Aging Process - Maca has been called 'The Youth Root' as it is able to stimulate balanced hormone production. It is a recommended herb for elderly nutrition, for energy and sexual health.
4. Supports a Healthy Sex Life and Fertility - Maca acts naturally, nourishing your glands and helping production of all of your own hormones for sexual health. In men, Maca helps increases sperm count and motility.
5. Prevents Osteoporosis and Anaemia - the high levels of absorbable calcium and magnesium in maca helps improve bone density.
6. Balances Overall Diet - avoiding malnutrition. Maca is recommended as a nutritional supplement due to it high and varied contents of amino acids, phytochemicals, vitamins, mineral, carbohydrates, etc. Past projects (carried out in Peru) have indicated an improvement in health (for example, the state of anemia) among malnourished children when they took small doses of maca root daily. Tests carried out by Peruvian biologist, Dr Gloria Chacon, also discovered that children, who had difficulty with attention and staying focused, improved significantly from these symptoms when they consumed small doses of maca; in addition, they became more alert, calmer, and their anemic condition improved considerably.
7. Strengthens the Immune System
With increasing fears of disease–whether it’s flu season or ebola scares, the single best way for you to combat sickness is to avoid it all together. Boost your immune system!
Remember, maca benefits your body more and more as it builds up in your system. So you want to take it daily. Taking it daily allows your body to use the consistent levels from maca to maximize health and truly start thriving.
Study after study shows the effects of maca becoming more and more powerful after 7 days, 14 days and 21 days. After 21 days, your brain will likely know the truth of that statement better than ever!
The Safest Way to Start
Maca has been used safely as a food for thousands of years, but there are some guidelines to keep in mind:
If you’re on HRT: Women on HRT should talk to their doctors about using maca. It may be possible to replace some or all of your estrogen dosage with maca, but please do it under a doctor’s supervision.
If you’re a breast cancer patient: Women taking tamoxifen or other estrogen blockers, and people who have had breast cancer should discuss the use of maca with a doctor, because it raises estrogen levels.
If you’re at risk for breast cancer: Men or women with a strong history of breast cancer should discuss maca use with a doctor first.
If you’re on thyroid medication: Work with your doctor to monitor your thyroid activity.
If you’re pregnant: Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should not take maca, as a general precaution.
If you’re just starting out with maca: The best way to begin reaping maca benefits is to start adding it to a daily green smoothie. One half-teaspoon the first week is a good place to start. Increase this amount to one teaspoon per day as your body becomes accustomed to the supplement. If you notice any side effects like breast tenderness or aggression, feel free to pull your dosage back a bit. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to find the amount that’s right for you.
Nutrition Info
The active ingredients in maca are not phyto-estrogens or hormone-like substances such as are found in wild yam. Instead, they are naturally occurring alkaloids. Peruvian biologist, Dr. Gloria Chacon, said that the alkaloids in maca act on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis - this explains why the effects in humans are not limited to sex hormones, but also on the adrenals, giving a feeling of greater energy and vitality, and on the pancreas and thyroid as well.
The nutrient-dense Maca Root contains more than 60 phytonutrients - it is abundant in many essential amino acids, phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, vitamins (B1, B2, C & E) & minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur, sodium & iron). It is also rich in iodine.
Just one glass of tea containing ½ to 1 tsp of gelatinized maca powder has more nutrients than 1 serving of most fruits and vegetables.
Maca is a food staple in Peru and there are no known effects of toxicity. Gelatinized maca powder is easily digestable and equally beneficial as Raw Maca Root Powder.
