This maca powder has a rich, earthy flavor that’s definitely noticeable, but it blends smoothly into my morning coffee without overpowering the taste. It gives me a nice, steady boost of energy that feels natural — no jitters and no afternoon crash, which I really appreciateI’ve noticed a consistent lift in my daily energy since adding this to my routine, and it’s become something I look forward to each morning. The quality seems excellent, especially for the price, making it a great value.Overall, this is an easy and worthwhile addition to a daily routine, and I happily purchase it again and again.

I love it, 🥰 I recommend it! 🫶

I’m happy with this purchase.the powder mixer well and has a mild,natural flavor that’s easy to enjoy. The quality seems excellent,and it meets my expectations.

I decided to try Maca as it was recommended for my reproductive system issues. I recently decided to give up taking medications as they weren't helping with my reproductive system issues or my hypothyroidism. I have seen it in my local Whole Foods store for $20 a bag, so Amazon definitely has a great price if you get free shipping.I first tried 1/2tsp Maca in about 4oz of water. The taste wasn't bad at all. I noticed an energized feeling immediately, almost to the point of being jittery but not quite. I got on my elliptical machine and felt my workout went smoother and I felt better throughout the workout. The energized feeling lasted all day, though at times I found it to be a bit much. Clearly Maca is powerful and you need to start out very slowly with it.I have since been putting a 1/2tsp of Maca into a smoothie each morning that I split with my boyfriend. We use frozen fruit, unsweetened coconut milk beverage, 1tbsp maple syrup, 1/4c chia gel, 1/2tsp matcha powder, 1tsp acai powder, and the 1/2tsp Maca powder. It doesn't taste too great since adding the Maca powder, it has a strong flavor in smoothies unlike in water, but I force down the 4oz smoothie each morning. Since adding it to a smoothie and splitting it, I feel energized without the nearly jittery feeling.I have felt great, I've been sleeping through the night, I have energy during the day... it's fantastic. I'm also taking a few other things to help with my specific medical issues so I am not sure what is helping with what, but I do know the Maca gives me great energy, I can exercise without dreading it, and I no longer require naps or feel like I'm dragging in the middle of the day. That itself is worth it!

Given the lack of response to some key criticisms, though relatively few, of this food, I'll focus my review on why this nutritional powerhouse is classified as a SUPERfood and why, for what are obvious reasons, some folks do not like this awesome Organic Raw Maca. Maca is surely classified as a superfood, and why that is the case pertains to its exceptional potency. General speaking, the "better" a superfood tastes, the lower (that's right, the lower) the nutritional density. And why would this be the case? Well, simply because the most nutritionally dense superfoods -- such as Maca, chlorella, spirulina, broccoli sprouts, etc. -- often have very strong tastes that seem unusual to people used to drinking sugary beverages like sodas, processed fruit juices, etc.Fortunately, since it's abundantly obvious to me that not everything that's good for me is going to taste like a Ritter Sport chocolate bar, I've been able to get past the subjective definitions or pronouncements on Maca's taste or flavor -- and most reviews by far out there, by the way, indicate a much more neutral, even positive assessment of Maca's taste. I for one, like so many Americans, want really good and sustainable energy, not the kind that comes at any kind of unnatural price, e.g., sudden crashes, nervousness, the jitters, stomach aches, headaches, cramps, etc. Fortunately through Maca, I've found significantly increased energy, overall alertness, focus, and enhanced powers of concentration....not to mention the physical energy for my lengthy & strenuous workouts. Though I jus' luvs me my coffee, there are numerous ways of getting that energy without the price of the smaller dives, total crashes and inevitable burn-outs.If this entirely natural, special Maca-kind-of-boost is not important to you, then you don't need to try it.Having communicated all this, careful readers of all of the reviews here will probably be able to see why some do not like Organic Raw Maca Powder, often linked to questions about taste, culinary expectations, etc. To note, it's difficult for me to place much weight on reviews by those who have tried out a food (and I view Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Maca Powder, not as a product, but as an exceptional nutritional food) for only a few days (only 3!, in some instances) or a few weeks. Generally speaking, the better a superfood tastes, the lower the nutritional density, and this is because the most nutritionally dense superfoods -- such as wheat grass, spinach, barley grass, chlorella, spirulina, green tea (extract), broccoli sprouts, etc. -- often have very strong tastes that seem unusual to people used to drinking sugary beverages like sodas or processed fruit juices.

Quick intro about me:~I am 29~I have a hormonal imbalance. I was on Progesterone pills (taking 1 a day for 5 days) to aid me in having a menstrual, not anymore though~I have always had irregular periods meaning I can go 4-6 months with out one~ Preparing my body for a baby. My husband and I are trying to conceivePurpose for taking this:~To regulate my hormones~increase energyPros:~Package arrived very QUICK and was sealed properly~The color is CONSISTENT with no strange variations. It's a creamy off white color~ The smell is FRESH with no foul smell. It aroma is like nutty in nature~ Maca has meshed well with my system. I have not felt any discomfort~ The powder is fine like flourCons:~ It's just my preference by I don't like the fact that it comes in a plastic bag. I personally would have prefer a glass jarExpectations:~ this batch is meeting my expectations so far*I will give an update once I am finish with the bag to note whether or not it has regulated my hormones, however I can say that I do feel more energy** Just in case if you are wondering how I consume it. I use 1 tsp a day. I use a real measuring spoon and mix it with either oatmeal (I make plain oatmeal and add fruits and honey and a dash of milk) a homemade green smoothie ( natural smoothie with veggies and berries and purified water) or a homemade fruit smoothie ( ex. 1 cup if milk and 2 cups of mangoes) The first time i took it I mix 1 tsp with bout a cup of milk.*** Just to note about the warning label, go to their site and they will further explain it to you. Also read the prop if you are really nervous. But please understand that they are required to and i am sure a host of other food companies are required to as well to put this label on their products, but they don't. Just to further put this warning label in perspective (because I have always and only lived in California) even Disney Land has a warning sign up on their property as well as apartments/ condos, dishes and other items. You will even see this label in certain stores... I know I have seen this warning quite a bit.I am not dumbing down this important prop just want you to be aware of it in its totality. So check out the links to further your knowledge.Hope this review helped a little. I'll give an update soon.Navitas site: http://navitasnaturals.com/prop65.htmlCA Gov site: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.htmlWiki prop65: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_%281986%29#Warning_label

This stuff works. Been using it since having back to back miscarriages back in 2015. This is the only thing that balanced my hormones. The taste is horrible like eating dirt. But mask it in smoothies or oatmeal. Use it 4 weeks straight and off a week. Then start back again. Maca root is an adaptogen.This makes you will make you hungry, extremely fertile, give energy, great sleep, use it after workout and you won’t have sore muscles. Benefits outweighs the taste. This will also make you gassy when you first start but after everything will balance. Best used during the day. I started off with 1tsp a day for a week. Then I went up to 1tbsp a day and stuck to that.As for the P65 warning on the back of the packaging. It is required BY LAW for every company to add the P65 warning on packaging when being sold in CA. As a company, you won’t be able to sell anything to the state of CA if the warning isn’t there. From clothing to food to skincare. This is a natural root that grows in the mountains of Peru. I am not worried about the P65 warning as it’s on everything.

Doesn’t taste as smooth as some other maca powders.

WOW awesome really i like it
