We bring our crops to our facility and then we ship the fine mesh powder to our manufacturing facilities in Peru and the United States where we bottle and package the finished products in GMP certified facilities.

Most small growers in little surrounding towns near the High Andean Mountains are not capable of affording the very best methods for their crops or production facilities. Unsanitary  conditions are vast and its important that you ask questions to assure yourself of high quality products.

Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™  capsules exactly match the Maca specifications used at the Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia which used in the only professionally recognized human clinical trials of maca ever conducted: 500mg gelatinized pure Maca root per capsule Phase I clinical trials lasting nine months and were completed in August 2001. The findings made headline news worldwide: A Copy Of These Trials Are Available at the bottom of this page. Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ now contains 600mg. in a 90 capsule bottle.

Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ does not mean gelatin capsules or mixed with gelatin. It refers to the process the Maca undergoes, a similar process to the purification of gelatin. The process removes starches and breaks down the bonds that bind the starch molecules to the amino acids and other compounds locked within. Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™ is produced in our own facilities in Peru and uses the same perimeters that the National University of Agriculture was recognized as the main source of Gelatinized Maca. The university is an agricultural teaching college with students from all over the world including South America. The University used its own research to develop this unique extraction process.

This process does two things, first, it removes starch (which comprises 33% of the Maca plant) and leaves behind the natural chemicals and nutrients, therefore concentrating the important elements of the Maca root. It also frees the macaenes and macatides from their starch bonds which human digestion cannot fully break, meaning the Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca™which will yield a much higher percentage of absorbed macaenes than Non-Gelatinized Maca. How can you tell if the Maca you are buying is gelatinized? The front of the package should say that it has been produced in Peru, they are the primary producers. Most fake Gelatinized Maca products are roasted a darker color to resemble the Gelatinized look but lack the potency and benefits. 

There are company's advertising on the internet that are selling so called gelatinized maca that the National University of Agriculture has never heard of and will issue an official statement shortly in writing which we will post here. Maca is very popular and marketers have found an opportunity to make money from you. So be sure the label says that it is produced at the National University of Agriculture at La Molina, Peru, this way you will  know you are getting the real thing! Maca powder is irradiated by many growers to rectify the unsanitary production at the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy (IPEN).  In this case, even though it’s still not proven that irradiation can or cannot cause cancer or other alterations, some markets such as the Japanese have restricted the entrance of irradiated Maca into there country, so be very carefully when buying from companies who do not have qualified proof that the product is totally natural.  When you order ask for a copy of supporting documentation on official University stationery to assure that you bought the real thing and that it hasn't been radiated and roasted in order to resemble gelatinized Maca.
