NOW Foods Raw Maca 750mg provides, in each vegetable capsule, 750 mg of a 6:1 concentrate of organic maca root (Lepidium meyenii), equivalent to 4500 mg of fresh root. The maca is gelatinised, a process that removes part of the starch and concentrates the root without using any animal-derived ingredients.
Maca is a root grown in the Peruvian Andes, between 3500 and 4500 metres above sea level, and has been eaten as a food in the region for centuries. It is known as "Peruvian ginseng", although it is not from the same family as ginseng.

Gelatinised maca goes through a heat and pressure process that removes part of the starch, making the root more concentrated and generally easier to digest. Despite the name "Raw", this NOW Foods product uses gelatinised organic maca as a 6:1 concentrate.
It means about 6 g of fresh root are needed to obtain 1 g of concentrate. So each 750 mg capsule is equivalent to about 4500 mg of fresh maca root.
NOW Foods recommends 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times per day. You can take it in the morning or during the day, preferably with a meal.
Yes. The capsules are made of hypromellose (plant cellulose) and there are no animal-derived ingredients. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Kosher, non-GMO and GMP.
