Navitas Organics Maca Powder – 100% Gelatinized Peruvian Maca for Adaptogen Smoothies, Lattes, Baking & More – Energize & Balance - USDA Organic, Non GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free (8oz. Bag, 45 Servings)

I use a tsp of this Maca in my morning smoothie. I love it!Pros:-USDA certified organic. No GMOs, an all natural product without any unwanted additives-Navitas Naturals is a trusted company, available for sale at most major health food websites, my local Target (!!) and their own third party website (there can be a lot of weird no-name supplement companies on Amazon, I trust this one!)-Gelatinized version is easily processed by the body versus raw which is debatable (at least in smoothies)-Resealable bag - my maca is nice and fresh-Lots of ENERGY from this product! Just a tsp a day gives you a big jolt! Some mornings, after having my smoothie I didn't even realize that I barely touched my morning coffee. Natural energy boost without having to consume caffeine-Over time will help balance hormones which I really need as a busy, full time working mother who wishes to have another child. Maca is recommended on natural fertility sites as a recommended natural supplement.-Taste: mild, I don't notice it in my smoothies. It blends right in without being overpowering.Cons:-None, I'm happy with this product and have purchased it multiple times as well as other Navitas Naturals.Bottom line: I recommend this for anyone looking to add a boost to their smoothies or other natural beverages. Its high quality, it works as intended for me, and its a reputable company. Buying from a reputable company is important in the unregulated supplement market.

I was looking for Maca at stores and they only had big bags and those are expensive. I found this on Amazon for less and the size and price was perfect.The quality is great.The flavor is perfect in my smoothie recipes.The packaging is just right.

I can’t speak to the power of this product yet as I only started taking it a couple of days ago. It smells like when you’re in an apartment hallway and all the various culturally different delicious foods are cooking but as the aromas blend it smells off-putting and slightly meaty. The taste is very different from the smell, and reminds me of when I accidentally drank from a cup of water that my friend had been putting spent cigarettes in. I don’t know much about Maca except that it’s supposed to be good for my exhausted adrenal glands, so I power through, but I just shake it up with some water and block my nose cause I’m not tainting a whole smoothie with this.

I read a large number of reviews on Amazon and on other sites before purchasing this particular product. It became clear I needed the Gelantinized version given my history of easy bloating and digestion problems and the raw version wasn't a good idea for me. I was attracted to this product for the potential of higher energy levels and balancing of various systems in my body, i.e. endocrine system. I have been using a heaping teaspoon every morning for over a week now and I am absolutely experiencing higher levels of energy. As for the other effects, I think its too early to know yet but I am hopeful.But here's the thing... it is absolutely and utterly disgusting. It smells horrible and tastes even worse. I am not one of those people who turns their nose up at supplements because of flavor or smell; I push through for the benefit and recognize natural products are not necessairly going to be pleasant. However, this one is giving me pause. I have tried using it in my morning BSN Syntha Vanilla protein shake (best protein powder ever, like melted ice cream), which is mixed with unsweetened flax or almond milk and frozen blueberries. This maca destroys the whole delicious shake and all I can taste is maca. I tried adding yogurt into it too, but again, only maca flavor.So here's my discovery if you want to to force this down your throat and get the benefits. I mixed it in about a cup of unsweetened almond milk with a good dose of real vanilla extract. The vanilla cuts the maca flavor dramatically (didn't work when vanilla was added in the protein maca shake though). A little cinnamon can help too. Bottomline - its a good product, I have high hopes for its effects, but you either have to acclimate to the flavor or get creative. Its worth it.

Since being diagnosed in 2016 with a severe case of Crohn's desease. I've choose a more holistic approach after many failed infusion medication attempts for my incurable desease. After many hours of research my list of necessary supplements & proper weight gaining protein powder needed for my vitamin & protein absorption I always include this delicious Maca powder! It's a slightly nutty, vanilla flavoring with the end product being smooth not gritty & when you think it can't get much better it does, the boost I get after my shake is a noticeable and last substantially for hours throughout the day! I highly recommend this product.I'm vacationing for 2 weeks and forgot my Maca powder, ordered it on Amazon w/free shipping it arrived the following day. After arrival I noticed powder on other items ordered & realized a slight miss in the machine seal on top of the bag, I wrote a review regarding this issue opting to keep the product. However within 2days the seller sent me a brand new bag without my knowledge! I was so surprised & needless to say extremely pleased I was able to find a vendor that reads there reviews and acted so exponentially on the situation I will continue purchasing my product from them & highly recommend them and their superb product!
