Is maca really effective for energy and athletic performance?
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is an Andean adaptogenic herb with real clinical evidence. Stone et al. (J Ethnopharmacol, 2009) report an 11% improvement in cycling time trial performance after 14 days. It acts gradually over 2-6 weeks by modulating hormonal and energetic response. Its effects are more pronounced on vitality, libido and resistance to chronic stress. Effective dose: 1.5-3g/day of gelatinized maca.
Which form of maca should you choose: raw maca or gelatinized maca?
Gelatinized maca is recommended for athletes. The gelatinization process (pressure heating) removes the hard starches of raw maca, improving the digestibility and bioavailability of its actives by 20-30%. Raw maca can cause bloating and digestive discomfort in some people. For people with a sensitive stomach, gelatinized maca is systematically preferable. Black maca is known for its effects on athletic performance and memory, red for the prostate and hormonal balance, yellow for general energy.
