Sunfood Maca Extreme
Maca lovers rejoice! Maca Extreme is here!
As you may already know, maca is a Peruvian superfood which has been used traditionally for enhancing strength, endurance, fertility, libido and helping the body cope with stress. Maca Extreme takes the benefits of maca to the next level. Maca Extreme is a micro-pulverized, highly bio-available, 4:1 concentration of the most important elements in maca.
How is Maca Extreme different from regular maca?
Using a unique cold-drying process, fresh maca roots are used to create a powerful concentration of maca. Normally, maca powder is made by grinding up sun-dried maca roots; the long, natural drying process is good, but the roots do lose some of their potency. Maca Extreme also contains less starch than standard maca making it ideal for those with difficulty digesting vegetables from the Brassica family (radish, broccoli, cabbage, etc.).
The benefits of maca primarily come from two unique compounds called macamides and macaenes. Macamides and macaenes are what give maca its power to enhance libido and fertility, as well as its adaptogenic properties and Maca Extreme contains about four times the levels of these compounds as other maca products.
All of the beneficial elements of maca are preserved at their highest levels in Maca Extreme. All the active constituents of maca, including the individual plant sterols, isothiocyanates, macamides, and glucosinolates, remain intact and absorbable, ready to provide maximum support to anyone seeking greater strength, stamina, and to find relief from present-day sources of stress.
Traditional Preparation Inspires a Modern Advancement
The traditional method of preparing maca relied upon drying the harvested roots in the dry, freezing air of the high Andes, day and night, for weeks at a time. In this way the harvested maca root would be freeze-dried without a significant loss of nutrients and potency. These dried maca roots were often cut-up and pulverized into a powder, ready to lend their unique benefits to any recipe.
Many essential nutrients are lost in the traditional months-long freeze-drying process. Peruvians have benefited from the unique stress-relieving effects of maca for thousands of years, and yet it has always been consumed with a reduced proportion of all its beneficial components. What if there was a way to preserve all the factors present in maca, at their most biologically active levels, while maintaining a product of the highest purity and quality?
Maca Extreme provides the answer. This is a whole-food maca supplement produced in a way that preserves all of the essential characteristics of maca at their greatest potency. Maca Extreme is produced from maca roots that have been carefully selected according to weight and quality, and then immediately processed and dried using a proprietary low-temperature process.
How to Use Maca Extreme
Maca Extreme is a very powerful and potent form of maca, and a little goes a long way. If you are familiar with maca and have been using it regularly we recommend starting with 1 - 2 teaspoons of Maca Extreme every day. If you are new to maca, please begin more slowly with ½ - 1 teaspoon daily, and build up from there.
Maca goes great with cacao. And Maca Extreme can be used in place of or in combination with regular maca root powder in all recipes with raw cacao, providing an even more powerful boost to your raw superfood creations. But you may want to use a little less Maca Extreme than you would regular maca, again it is very potent. Try mixing Maca Extreme into raw salad dressings, or try blending it into nut butters, smoothies, elixirs, teas, dips, or spreads.
Maca is a cruciferous vegetable (it is in the same family as common radish, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard greens, arugula, etc.). Like all cruciferous vegetables, maca possesses a slightly spicy taste due to the sulfuric oils present.
