FAQ

Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable native to the high Andes Mountains of Peru. It’s been used for thousands of years as both a food source and a traditional wellness tonic, typically consumed as a powder, capsule, or extract.

Not necessarily better — just different. Raw maca is less processed, with a stronger, earthier flavour, and can be harder to digest. Gelatinised maca has its natural starches removed through heat and pressure, making it easier to digest and often more concentrated — which is why we use it across our range.

Look for Peruvian origin, third-party testing, transparent labelling, and clearly identified maca varieties. Avoid products with vague “proprietary blends” or hidden fillers — quality varies significantly based on growing altitude, soil quality, and processing methods.

No. Maca doesn’t naturally contain oestrogen, testosterone, or other human hormones. Researchers believe it may support hormonal balance indirectly, by influencing the endocrine system and stress response, rather than supplying hormones directly.

A common starting range is 1–3 teaspoons of powder daily, or per capsule/extract instructions. Maca isn’t an instant-effect ingredient — most people notice changes after several days to 2–6 weeks of consistent use, depending on dosage and individual factors.

Maca is generally well tolerated, though some people may experience digestive discomfort, bloating, or headaches — particularly at high doses. Starting with a smaller amount can help minimise this.

Camu Camu is a small berry native to the Amazon rainforest, widely recognised as one of nature’s richest natural sources of vitamin C. It has a tart, citrus-like flavour and is most commonly added to smoothies, juices, and yoghurt.
