Gelatinized Maca Root Powder –
Which One is Best for Me?
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!
So, since we are addressing an audience
of sensitive stomachs, we’ll concentrate on
Gelatinized Maca Root Powder ( see the chart below)
