It is grown in the Peruvian Andes at 14,000 ft elevation. It has been used for hundreds of years, including by Incan Warriors, to promote a boost of energy. MACA is loaded with alkaloids that are known to support the healthy function of the endocrine system. Maca itself does not contain any hormones. Instead, studies show it contains a unique set of nutrients that assist the endocrine system in the regulation of healthy hormone production with its adaptogenic properties. What is Gelatinization Gelatinization is a process in which the hydrogen bonds in the starch are broken by kinetic energy of heated water. Starch granules in water swell with increased heat until they reach the gelatinization temperature. When water is added again, the starch can reabsorb large amounts of water without long periods of heating. Gelatinized starch is said to be more rapidly digested than raw starch. For people seeking more bio-availability or easier digestibility of the carbohydrate content of Maca, gelatinization essentially provides a “pre-digested” maca that is thought to be more readily absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Raw maca can be absorbed over a longer period of time and may be beneficial by its absorption in the lower gastrointestinal tract.
