Item 12 of 14
Maca Root In GlycoAid
A root crop farmed higher up a mountain than almost any other food plant.
What It Is
A root crop from the Peruvian Andes, farmed higher up a mountain than almost any other food plant on earth, and eaten as food locally.
What it is studied for
Energy, stamina and mood, mostly. Very little of its research concerns glucose.
Evidence grade: Small. Centuries of use behind it, and very little modern trial work in front. Rather than folding it into an average, this page prints it.
Where it sits in this formula
In the energy and general-wellbeing part rather than the glucose part, which is worth knowing when you read the label's energy claim.
The Dose Question
One to three grams of the powder daily is the usual study quantity. Gram-scale once more, set against a 500 mg total.

Questions About Maca Root
Is maca a blood sugar ingredient?
Very little of its research concerns glucose. Its place here is the energy and wellbeing end of the list.
Is maca a stimulant?
No. Neither maca nor this formula contains caffeine.
How much maca is in here?
Not published. With gram-scale research on one side and a 500 mg blend on the other, assume a small supporting quantity.
Is maca safe?
In Peru it is farmed and eaten as food, and supplement quantities cause no trouble.
Judging It Fairly
No single item on this panel can be assessed from the outside on its own, and no single week of taking the capsule settles anything either. What week one is actually measuring takes that apart properly.
Where It Sits In The Formula
Maca Root is printed inside one 500 mg proprietary formulation alongside thirteen other items, so the amount here is unknown. That is the honest position on every panel page on this site, and it is why where the 500 milligrams goes is worth ten minutes. The item before this one on the label is Juniper Berry and the one after it is Goji Berry.
