Gelatinized Maca Root Powder
Maca Root is also known as Lepidium mayenil.
What is Maca Root?
Often called “Peruvian Ginseng”, Maca is a unique root tuber with usage dating back to the mid 15th century. Natives of this area ate it raw, cooked or boiled and it became a staple in their everyday diet. Contrary to some literature citing its use some 2000 years ago to tout sexual stamina, this is hardly correct. Truth is, the rough terrain of this region made it difficult to cultivate food so most of the communities diet was dependant on wild gathered material, hence the Maca was incorporated into their daily food consumption. It resembles a radish and is actually a close relative as well. The growing conditions are very specific and it will only thrive in the glaciated slopes of the Andes with a prime elevation of 12,000 to 15,000 feet above sea level.
Currently the country of Peru is heavily subsidizing and studying the benefits of this root and several reports from educational and scientific institutions have showed significant: (120-200%) increases in sexual endurance, physical stamina, adaptability to stressful situations an increase in both the number and activity of spermatazoids (sperm).
Why?
Maca’s Primary Benefits
-
Energy / Fatigue: Generates core energy in the body and mind; not an external stimulant like caffeine. Maca is invigorating and uplifting through a powerful and distinct nutritional profile.
-
Menopause: This is a prominent use, gaining recognition worldwide. For many people it is very effective. Maca nourishes the endocrine system, balancing the manufacture of hormones naturally in the body. It does not act upon hormones directly, which is why it is so gentle and effective for this purpose. This concentrated gelatinized form is considered stronger than Black Cohosh, Chaste Berry, and Wild Yam for hormonal regulation purposes.
-
Libido: Maca is marketed under this banner more often than not, as it is a powerful restorer and enhancer of libido. It is one of the few supplements that is equally effective in both men and women for this purpose. This gelatinized form contains much higher concentrations of the libido-enhancing compounds often touted by manufacturers.
-
Impotence / Infertility: Maca treats impotence and infertility in both men and women. Maca is well known in Peru for it’s ability to ensure fertility in animals at high altitudes. It is prescribed for the same reason in humans, as it increases virility, oxygen transport.
- ADD / Stress: Through the concentrated power of it’s nutrition, Maca can help to enhance concentration and decrease stress, being a powerful tool in addressing attention issues. The owner of Skyfield Tropical has used it primarily for this purpose for many years, and recommends it often to others with similar issues.
-
Malnutrition: Maca is remarkably nutritious, having a profile of highly bio-available nutrients akin to a good multi-vitamin. A gelatinized maca, in being free of fibers and most carbohydrates, is nearly 100% digestible, and is quickly assimilated. When dissolved into liquids, many of its active nutrients enter the bloodstream within 20 minutes of ingestion.
- Thyroid: Only gelatinized / cooked maca is being used to treat thyroid problems. Maca is also good source of iodine, which can assist in hypothyroidism. Raw maca cannot be used for this purpose, as it contains goitrogens which must be deactivated by cooking. Maca is a cruciferous vegetable, like broccoli or turnips.
While this information has not been thoroughly reviewed or studied much outside of Peru, the users’ testimonies for the last several years are notable.
Why Did I Start Using Gelatinized Maca Root Powder?
After having followed the doctor’s orders and taken the Steroids, that came along with all the terrible side effects, I did much research, and found Gelatinized Maca Root Powder. As an adaptagenic product, I found it balanced my endrocine system – which had been totally screwed up by the Steroids, and after 3 weeks of Maca usage, my period came back (after its 3 month disappearance from the steroid use). That’s when I knew my endocrine was being re-balanced. I also wanted something that would give me more energy, as I had been so fatigued and exhausted after the steroid use. I am very pleased with the results so far, and I can feel the Libido slowly returning as well (that was stripped away from the use of Steroids as well).
How Do I Take Gelatinized Maca Root Powder?
Since most of us with IBD, IBS, UC, and Crohn’s
have problems with sensitive stomach and digestion
in general, I would strongly urge you to use the
Gelatinized Maca Root Powder. WHY?
Gelatinized Maca is the best type
of Maca for anyone with a sensitive digestive
system. In the gelatinization process
Maca roots are boiled and pressurized to
dissolve most starch content. The resulting
Gelatinized Maca powder
is easier to digest than Raw Maca
powders. However, all of the enzymes are
destroyed and some of the
nutrients are altered in the process.
I’ve found great results with the Gelatinized Maca Root Powder,
and haven’t felt like I’ve been missing
out on nutrients.
This is a POWERHOUSE of Nutrients!
I take it daily, mixed in my breakfast shake.
Here’s the recipe for
“Morning Glory Shake”:
Here’s the recipe for “Morning Glory Shake”:
1) 8 oz. of Almond Milk
(no carrageenan)
2) 1 scoop of Pro-Optimal
Whey Protein powder,
chocolate favored (or
another Whey Protein
Isolate powder of your
choosing)
3) 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds
4) 1 Tablespoon of Gelatinized
Maca Root Powder
5) 1 scoops of L-Glutamine
powder (approx. 5 grams)
6) 1 Tablespoon of Hydrolyzed
Collagen Powder
(approx. 5 grams)
7) 1 scoop of D-Ribose
powder (approx. 5 grams)
Mix all the ingredients
in a blender – on very low
speed, as the amino acids
in the Pro-Optimal Whey
Protein are delicate and
can easily be destroyed
with heat (through high
speed blenders which
create heat), and enjoy.
This “Morning Glory” shake
is just delicious and so
packed with all the
nutrition you need, not
just to start your day off
right, but to help heal your
immune system and colon.
Morning Glory Shake
What does each ingredient do?
1) Almond milk (without
carrageenan) is important
to give this shake flavor,
density, liquidity, and
taste and form.
2) Whey Protein – contains
proteins, which
are made up of the
many Amino Acids
your body and its
organs require to function.
3) Chia Seeds are
important for the fiber,
the minerals, and the
omega 3’s they provide
your body. If your gut
can’t handle the seeds,
then make Chia Seed
Gel and use 2
Tablespoons of this
Gel in its place.
4) Gelatinized Maca
Root Powder is to
help with fatigue,
depression, loss of
libido ( so many
of us have had as a
result of all those
terrible steroids our
doctors have made us
take), hair loss.

“heal the mucosal lining”
of the colon.

6) Hydrolyzed Collagen
Powder is a well
known “gut Healer”,
but in addition helps

7) D-Ribose Powder
is a type of sugar that
all the cells of our bodies
need to produce their
energy, through a
molecule called ATP.
“…ATP is adenosine triphosphate.
Healthy, active cells constantly
replenish their supply of ATP to
produce vital cellular energy.
However, under conditions of stress,
injury, or aging, [or diseases such
as Auto-Immune Diseases],
critical body tissues such as
heart and skeletal muscles
cannot produce ATP quickly
enough to perform optimally.
D-ribose, a carbohydrate molecule
found in every living organism,
facilitates the production of ATP.
In studies of healthy athletes as
well as those who have suffered
injury to the heart muscle,
supplying fatigued muscle
cells with D-ribose quickly
restored ATP levels to normal.
By helping to rapidly refill depleted
energy stores, D-ribose may be
especially beneficial for people
coping with cardiac and other
problems marked by impaired
cellular energy production.
D-Ribose Tablets and D-Ribose
Powder can help speed energy
recovery, increase energy
reserves and maintain healthy
energy levels in heart and
muscle tissue.”

Here’s another note of importance
on the Morning Glory Shake,
1) you can add other vitamins to
it as well, personally I add
10,000 I.U. of liquid Vitamin D3
2) the Morning Glory Shake is
perfect for Bowel Rest
3) if you’re struggling to add
weight, you can add
a) 1/2 an avocado OR

Summary
Not much research has been carried out for this particular botanical out of its native country Peru, but several distinguished journals and scientists worldwide have supported what the Peruvian researchers have done and the preliminary studies they published. Maca root is being effectively administered to both men and women to help increase libido, men’s sperm activity, and to assist both sexes with issues regarding their physical endurance and threshold. Most Maca roots are being wildharvested and we foresee grave danger for the safety and sustainability of this botanical. Trial cultivation plots are under way; attempting to address the situation. With any luck we will see an increase of imported Maca from this source. As with all potentially endangered plants, consume consciously.
