Maca Extreme (Maca Extract 10:1 600mg) | 365 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition

Maca Extreme by German Elite Nutrition

Are you looking for the concentrated form of the Peruvian Andean root? German Elite Nutrition's Maca Extreme provides a 10:1 extract of maca root, with 600 mg per capsule. This corresponds to 6000 mg of dried root. Maca comes from the high plateaus of Peru, where the plant has been consumed for centuries. It is a plant-based supplement in a vegan capsule, with no additions around the extract.

What maca is and where it comes from

Maca is the root of Lepidium meyenii, a plant from the brassicaceae family related to radish, mustard, and rapeseed. The plant grows high in the Andes, on plateaus around four thousand meters, where conditions are harsh and few other crops survive. It is precisely this tuberous root that is harvested, sun-dried, and then processed. The dried root naturally contains carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fibers, and minerals. In Peru, maca has been part of the daily diet for generations, where the root is cooked, dried, or ground into flour. Indigenous people of the highlands used maca long before the plant became known worldwide. Good to know: here you receive the entire root, in extract form, and not an isolated substance that would have been extracted from it. Maca root comes in different colors, from yellow to red and black, depending on the variety that grows on the highlands. For this extract, dried root is used, then concentrated in a ten-to-one ratio.

The 10:1 extract, what it means

In a 10:1 extract, ten times more root is used than the amount of extract obtained. For every 600 mg of extract in a capsule, approximately 6000 mg of dried maca root has therefore been processed. The difference from bulk maca powder? You get the root in a compact and concentrated form, without having to swallow spoonfuls of powder and without the earthy taste. The formula has been deliberately kept simple: only maca extract and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing else. No colors, no flavors, and no preservatives. Each batch is independently tested for purity, heavy metals, and microbiological quality, so that the content of the capsule matches what is indicated on the label. Such independent control is important for a concentrated plant extract, as the root grows at high altitude and naturally absorbs minerals from the soil.

Maca in your day

Maca is used by men and women, and fits into all sorts of routines. As maca is originally a food plant, it is easily taken at a fixed time, like regular food. Many people take the capsules spread throughout the day. A practical tip: preferably take maca earlier in the day rather than just before bedtime. The taste of the root is earthy and slightly nutty, but in capsule form, you perceive nothing of it. If you want to know how much root you are absorbing, do a simple calculation: with the full daily portion you reach 3000 mg of extract, which is equivalent to approximately 30,000 mg of root equivalent. This way you maintain control over the quantity that suits you. Some people gradually increase the amount and start with one or two capsules a day, to see how the root fits into their routine.

A clean and vegan formula

The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), which makes Maca Extreme suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule contains only the maca extract and this vegetable wall. As it contains no fillers, anti-caking agents, or other additions, you know exactly what you are absorbing with each capsule: a 10:1 extract of Lepidium meyenii and nothing else. Since no flavor or color is added, the product remains close to the raw root as it is consumed in Peru. A jar contains 365 capsules. With the full daily portion of five capsules, one jar lasts a little over two months; if you take less, one jar lasts proportionally longer. This way you determine the pace yourself.

In short, with Maca Extreme you get the whole maca root in the form of a concentrated 10:1 extract, directly from the Peruvian Andes. A simple and vegan formula with 600 mg of extract per capsule, which allows you to easily give maca a fixed place in your day. For those looking for the famous root from the highlands in high concentration and with a long-lasting supply, this is a clear choice.
