If you've looked into maca root even briefly, you've probably noticed it comes in three colours: black, red, and yellow. They all come from the same plant, grown high in the Peruvian Andes, but the research suggests they work quite differently. Here's a straightforward guide. No hype, just the facts.
Black Maca
Black maca is the rarest of the three, making up roughly 10–15% of the annual harvest in Peru. Research suggests it may support testosterone levels and male fertility, energy and physical endurance, and memory and mental clarity. Available in powder and capsule form. Best for men looking to support energy, hormonal health, and focus.
Red Maca
Red maca is the mildest and sweetest of the three. Research points to potential benefits for hormonal balance in women, bone density, and mood and stress resilience. Available in powder and capsule form. Best for women looking for hormonal support, or anyone who prefers a gentler flavour.
Yellow Maca
Yellow maca is the most widely grown variety. It supports general vitality and wellbeing without leaning strongly in either direction, a solid everyday option.
Triple Maca
Our Triple Maca Root Powder combines all three varieties in equal proportions, the most popular starting point for people new to maca. All our maca powders are gelatinized, easier to digest and more bioavailable than raw maca. Start with one teaspoon per day.
