FAQ

Q: How does 10:1 extract compare to gelatinized maca powder?

A: Gelatinised maca (around 4:1 concentration) eliminates starch by heat. Solvent extraction at 10:1 concentration increases potency per gram. Water solubility is better.

Q: Can I use this in clear beverages without cloudiness?

A: Turbidity may occur with standard extract. When buying crystal-clear beverages, mention "water-soluble grade". It eliminates all fats and insoluble fibres.

Q: How's the flavour?

A: An earthy, nutty flavour is expected. Less powerful than raw maca powder but perceptible over 500mg/serving. Chocolate, coffee, and berries go nicely.

Q: Do you mix yellow/red/black maca?

A: A combination of phenotypes ensures constant chemistry in our standard extract. Custom orders with TLC verification are available for single-phenotype extracts like black maca.

Q: Does high heat harm active compounds?

A: For gummy manufacturing and baking, the extract can withstand 120°C for brief periods. Boiling above 100°C may degrade glucosinolates.

Q: What documentation accompany orders?

A: CoA with test findings, allergy statement, GMO declaration, BSE/TSE certificate, and SDS are included with every shipment. Kosher/Halal certifications upon request.

Q: Can you mail my first order quickly?

A: The nearest warehouse ships in-stock items in 2 business days. Organic certification and water-soluble processing may take 2-3 weeks.
