Why Three Colours Of Maca
Black, red and yellow maca are all varieties of the same Lepidium meyenii plant, grown in Peru, and are often combined in one formula rather than used individually, since each colour is traditionally associated with slightly different uses. This formula brings all three together in a single capsule rather than asking you to source and dose them separately.
Why Gelatinized
Gelatinizing maca root involves a heat and pressure process that breaks down the starches in the raw root, which is intended to make it easier to digest than raw maca powder. Black pepper fruit is included alongside the maca in this formula, a combination commonly used to support absorption.
How To Use It
Take 3 capsules once a day, ideally 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Each bottle of 120 capsules provides a 40 day supply at this serving size. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a doctor before use.
Who It Suits
This is a good option if you're after a capsule based maca supplement rather than a powder, and want black, red and yellow maca root combined in one formula. It's third-party tested and made in a GMP-certified facility, and is labelled by SMNutrition for performance, hormone and energy support. It's positioned as a women's formula, though the ingredients themselves are the same three maca varieties used across maca supplements more broadly, so the labelling is about how it's marketed rather than a difference in the maca root itself.

Storage And Precautions
Keep the bottle tightly sealed and store as directed on the label, out of reach of children. As with any new supplement, it's worth checking with your doctor first if you're taking other medications or managing an existing health condition, and stopping use if you notice any adverse reaction.
