Organika – Cocoa Maca Powder

The root vegetable Lepidium meyenii (maca) is a member of the cruciferous family which also includes broccoli, cauliflower and kale. In the high altitudes of the Andes where our maca root grows, the harsh environment has shaped this superfood to be tough enough to withstand any environmental challenge. He transmits his strength to you. The roots are carefully selected, then washed before being cut, cooked, dried and prepared for grinding. Cacao is a bean that grows on a tree native to Central America. It provides high levels of beneficial flavonoids, including catechin, epicatechin and procyanidins, which are powerful antioxidants. Cocoa contains more antioxidants than red wine, green tea and blueberries combined! These antioxidants are known for their ability to reduce free radical damage that can contribute to cardiovascular disease and symptoms. Cocoa is naturally rich in magnesium, manganese and copper, which helps keep your systems and enzymes functioning optimally. Organika’s organic maca undergoes a specialized procedure called gelatinization. Despite its name, this procedure does not involve gelatin in any form; it consists of splitting large starch chains into smaller molecules. This allows you to have a much smoother and less painful experience. The additional slow cooking in our gelatinization methods can improve the availability of certain nutrients and minerals.
