Maca Extract Powder | Peruvian Source, Rich in Macamides
Our Peruvian maca powder (Maca Lepidium meyenii) is harvested directly from the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains, where unique growing conditions enhance its bioactivity. Key active ingredients include macaamides and macaenes, glucosinolates and polyphenols, essential amino acids, and minerals, offering numerous health benefits and making it an excellent choice for supplements.
The global maca extract market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.42% (2024-2030), driven by a growing demand for organic, hormone-free energy supplements. However, many commercially available products dilute their effectiveness with fillers or use lower-quality maca raw materials, lacking the benefits of authentic Peruvian black and red maca.Our maca powder focuses on single-origin, high-altitude maca (above 4,000 meters) to preserve its full spectrum of nutrients. We also offer a double-extracted maca powder (water + ethanol) for greater macaamide retention. From raw powder to capsules/functional blends, our cGMP-compliant facilities offer low minimum order quantities (ideal for startups), third-party lab testing (heavy metals, microbial testing), and private label packaging.
Why choose our Peruvian Maca Powder (Lepidium meyenii) ?
1. High Macaamide Content
Unlike common suppliers who use low-altitude or blended maca, we source our maca exclusively from high-altitude farms in Peru (above 4,000 meters). The harsh environment on these farms forces the maca roots to produce higher concentrations of macaamides and macaenes. Our dual extraction process (water + ethanol) ensures a higher macaamide content.
2. No Fillers
Many bulk suppliers reduce costs by blending maca (which reduces potency) or adding maltodextrin. Our powder is single-origin, non-GMO, irradiated, and free of heavy metals (<0.5ppm lead, <0.1ppm cadmium).
3. 20 Years of R&D Experience, Custom Formulations Available
With nearly two decades of experience in adaptogen production, we offer our partners products with guaranteed higher absorption rates than standard powders, available in capsules, instant stick packs, or pre-mixed formulas (such as maca + ashwagandha). Minimum order quantity (500 kg and up) with fast turnaround.
