Product Details
Our maca extract 10:1 concentrates 10 kg of fresh maca root into 1 kg of extract. The root is extracted with a mix of 70% ethyl alcohol and 30% purified water, and the extract is carried on maltodextrin to give a fine, homogeneous powder: at least 95% passes through 80 mesh.
Its concentration allows a lower fill weight per capsule or tablet than raw powder. It is free of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and gluten is below 10 ppm.
Each lot ships with its certificate of analysis. If your specification requires marker compounds such as macamides, tell us when you request a quote.
