UNDERSTANDING GELATINIZED MACA
AND THE CLINICAL TRIALS

Regular and Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ is in Peru. We bring our hand picked crops to our manufacturing facilities and then ship the fine mesh powder to our manufacturing facilities in Peru and the United States where we bottle and package the finished products.

Because Peru is a third world nation, not all producers are capable of the most sanitary conditions. Most small growers in little surrounding towns near the High Andean Mountains are not capable of affording the very best methods for their crops or production facilities. Unsanitary  conditions are vast and its important that you ask questions to assure yourself of high quality products. Much of the Maca exported from Peru is irradiated in order to kill the pathogens (e-coli, salmonella etc.)

It is important to understand that just like coffee or tea, Maca comes in many different grades and blends just as there are numerous species of this plant grown at many different altitudes. Today its not unusual to find Maca being grown in all different parts of South America and still called Maca even though the rich mineral soil content of the highest Andean Mountains doesn't exist in these so called Maca products.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STANDARD AND GELATINIZED MACA

UNDERSTANDING GELATINIZED MACA

Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™  capsules exactly match the Maca specifications used at the Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia which used in the only professionally recognized human clinical trials of Maca ever conducted: 600mg gelatinized pure Maca root per capsule Phase I clinical trials lasting nine months and were completed in August 2001. The findings made headline news worldwide: A Copy Of These Trials Are Available at the bottom of this page. Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ now contains 600mg. in a 100 vegetable capsule bottle for greater strength.

Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ does not mean gelatin capsules or mixed with gelatin. It refers to the process the Maca undergoes, a similar process to the purification of gelatin. The process removes starches and breaks down the bonds that bind the starch molecules to the amino acids and other compounds locked within. Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ is produced at the National University of Agriculture, La Molina, Peru and is recognized as the main source of Gelatinized Maca. The university is an agricultural teaching college with students from all over the world including South America.

This process does two things, first, it removes starch (which comprises 33% of the maca plant) and leaves behind the natural chemicals and nutrients, therefore concentrating the important elements of the Maca root. It also frees the macaenes and macatides from their starch bonds which human digestion cannot fully break, meaning the Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™which will yield a much higher percentage of absorbed macaenes than non-gelatinized Maca. How can you tell if the Maca you are buying is gelatinized? The front of the package should say that it has been processed at The National University of Agriculture, La Molina, Peru, they are the primary producers. Most fake Gelatinized Maca products are roasted a darker color to resemble the Gelatinized look but lack the potency and benefits.
