NOW Maca 750mg (Lepidium meyenii), Reproductive Health, 90 Vegetarian Capsules

NOW Raw Maca 750 mg: a 6:1 maca root concentrate in veg capsules

NOW Raw Maca gives 750 mg of organic raw maca root per vegetarian capsule as a 6:1 concentrate, equal to about 4,500 mg of fresh root. The maca is gelatinized, a gentle process that removes starch to concentrate the root, and the bottle holds 90 capsules. Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable from the high Andes of Peru, eaten there for centuries. It suits adults who want maca in a convenient capsule rather than a powder; there are no authorised health claims for maca in the EU, so it is sold here as a botanical food supplement without health promises.

NOW Maca questions

How much maca is in each capsule?

Each veg capsule gives 750 mg of organic raw maca root as a 6:1 concentrate, equal to about 4,500 mg of fresh maca root. The bottle holds 90 capsules.

What does ‘gelatinized’ mean?

Gelatinization is a gentle heat process that removes much of the root’s starch, so the powder is more concentrated and easier to digest. It has nothing to do with gelatin; the product is vegetarian.

How do I take it?

Take 1 capsule once or twice a day. The bottle lasts 45 to 90 days depending on the dose.

What is maca?

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable grown high in the Andes of Peru, eaten there for centuries as a food. There are no authorised health claims for maca in the EU, so it is sold here as a botanical food supplement.

Who should check with a doctor first?

It is for adults only. If you take blood-thinning or hormonal medication (including the contraceptive pill) or have a hormone-sensitive condition, ask your doctor first. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
