Maca Root In GlycoAid
A root crop grown higher up a mountain than almost any other food plant.
What It Is And Why It Is Here
A root crop from the Peruvian Andes, grown higher up a mountain than almost any other food plant on earth. It is eaten as food locally.
Energy, stamina and mood, mostly. Very little of its research concerns glucose.
Evidence: Small. Traditional use is long and modern controlled human research is limited. This site labels that rather than averaging it away.
Why it is here
It sits in the energy and general-wellbeing part of the formula rather than the glucose part, which is worth knowing when you read the label's energy claim.
The Dose Question
Studies commonly use one to three grams of maca powder a day. That is gram-scale again, against a total blend of 500 mg.

Judging It Fairly
No single ingredient on this panel can be assessed on its own from the outside, and no week of taking the capsule can settle anything either. Why week one tells you nothing is the short version of that argument.
How It Sits In The Formula
Maca Root is declared inside a single 500 mg proprietary formulation alongside thirteen other ingredients, so the amount here is unknown. That is the honest position on every ingredient page on this site, and it is why the piece on blends is worth ten minutes. The ingredient before this one on the label is Juniper Berry and the one after it is Goji Berry.
