Product Description

The History of Maca Maca root was very first harvested in the course of the pre-Incan times and historically been recognized as a \"miracle food\". It is a tuber, significantly like the potato, providing a nutrition profile of sterols, amino acids and important vitamins and minerals. For thousands of years, the Peruvians and Incas used maca root for its healing and nourishing powers. These days, maca powder is one of the worlds most popular and nutrient-rich superfoods. Raw vs. Gelatinized Maca Maca exists in two types, each raw and gelatinized. Due to the density of the root, consuming maca in its raw state has been related with digestive discomfort and consequently, gelatinization has shown to provide far more favourable outcomes. In Peru, maca is always cooked (gelatinized), removing unwanted starch and making the root easier to digest. Gelatinization assures that the final product bears the very same distinctive properties of the maca consumed traditionally by the Incas, preserving the nutritional integrity of maca and creating a hugely concentrated product as compared to raw maca. The Viva Labs Difference Grown in the wealthy soils of the Andes Mountains of Peru, harsh temperatures and extreme sunlight make roots of exceptional nutritional substance and overall health-advertising properties. Viva Labs very carefully harvests fully matured and developed roots when foliage is at its brightest yellow. The roots are then slowly dried and gently milled at low temperatures into fine, wealthy-tasting powder. A method identified as \"gelatinization\" breaks down starch molecules, thereby easing digestion and enhancing overall nutrient content material and bioavailability.
