The extract is produced from carefully selected maca roots using controlled water or ethanol extraction, then spray-dried to preserve bioactive macamides and glucosinolates. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and sports nutrition formulations.

Designed for export markets, Greenherb supports both trial orders and long-term bulk supply with stable specifications.

Why Choose Greenherb Maca Extract Powder?

  • Authentic Andean Sourcing – Greenherb sources maca root from high-altitude farms in Junín and Cerro de Pasco, Peru, with full traceability and fair trade support.

  • Standardized Bioactives – Provides maca extract powder with guaranteed macamide content (typically ≥0.6% by HPLC) and glucosinolate profile for reproducible efficacy.

  • Controlled Gelatinization Option – Greenherb offers both gelatinized (pre-cooked) and raw extract forms; gelatinization removes starch for better digestibility and concentration.

  • Batch-to-Batch Consistency – Strict blending and analytical controls ensure consistent color, taste, and active marker levels.

  • Easy to Formulate – Fine powder blends well with capsules, tablets, protein shakes, and energy bars; available in various ratios (4:1, 10:1, 20:1).

  • Export-Oriented Manufacturing – Compliant with dietary supplement GMP, organic-eligible, and Peruvian national export standards.

  • Complete Technical Support – COA, macamide HPLC profile, heavy metal analysis, and non-GMO statement available.

Product Introduction

Maca Extract Powder is a concentrated botanical ingredient made from the hypocotyls (roots) of Lepidium meyenii, traditionally used as an adaptogen and energy tonic. Greenherb’s maca extract powder delivers the essence of maca in a more potent, less fibrous form than raw maca flour.

Two main types are offered: raw extract (retaining natural enzymes and glucosinolates) and gelatinized extract (heat-treated to remove digestible starch, reducing gastric discomfort). Both are suitable for modern supplement manufacturing.
