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

Maca Extreme by German Elite Nutrition

Looking for the root from the Peruvian Andes in concentrated form? Maca Extreme by German Elite Nutrition delivers a 10:1 extract of the maca root, with 600 mg per capsule. That corresponds to 6000 mg of dried root. The maca comes from the highlands of Peru, where the plant has been eaten for centuries. It is a plant-based supplement in a vegan capsule, without additives around the extract.

What maca is and where it comes from

Maca is the root of Lepidium meyenii, a cruciferous plant related to radish, mustard, and rapeseed. The plant grows high in the Andes, on plateaus around four thousand meters, where the 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, fiber, and minerals. In Peru, maca has been part of the daily diet for generations, where the root is boiled, dried, or ground into flour. The indigenous people of the plateau used maca long before the plant became known worldwide. Good to know: you get the whole root here, in extract form, and not a separate substance that has been extracted from it. Maca root exists in different colors, from yellow to red and black, depending on the variety that grows on the plateau. For this extract, the dried root is used, which is then concentrated at a ratio of ten to one.

10:1 extract, what that means

With a 10:1 extract, ten times as much root was used as extract is produced. For every 600 mg of extract in a capsule, therefore, approximately 6000 mg of dried maca root has been processed. The difference with loose maca powder? You get the root in a compact, concentrated form, without having to get rid of spoonfuls of powder and without the earthy taste. The formula has been deliberately kept bare: only maca extract and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing else. No colorings, no flavorings, and no preservatives. Every batch is independently tested for purity, heavy metals, and microbiological quality, so that the contents of the capsule match what is on the label. Such independent testing is important for a concentrated plant extract, because the root grows at a high altitude and naturally absorbs minerals from the soil.

Maca as part of your day

Maca is used by men and women, and fits into all kinds of routines. Because maca is originally a food crop, it can easily be taken at a fixed time, just like regular food. Many people take the capsules throughout the day. The taste of the root is earthy and slightly nutty, but you won't taste any of that in capsule form. If you want to know how much root you get, you can simply calculate backward: at the full daily dose, you get 3000 mg of extract, which corresponds to approximately 30,000 mg of root equivalent. This way, you keep control over the amount that suits you. Some people gradually build up the amount and start with one or two capsules per day, to experience how the root fits into their routine.

A clean, vegan formula

The capsule shell is made of plant-based cellulose (HPMC), making Maca Extreme suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule contains only the maca extract and that plant-based shell. Because there are no fillers, lubricants, or other additives, you know exactly what you get in every capsule: a 10:1 extract of Lepidium meyenii and nothing else. Because nothing has been added to the taste or color, the product remains close to the raw root as it is eaten in Peru. A jar contains 365 capsules. At the full daily dose of five capsules, this will last you well over two months; if you take fewer, a jar will last proportionally longer. This way, you determine the pace yourself.

In short, with Maca Extreme you get the whole maca root in a concentrated 10:1 extract, straight from the Peruvian Andes. A bare, vegan formula with 600 mg of extract per capsule, with which you can easily give maca a fixed place in your day. For those looking for the well-known root from the highlands in a high concentration and a long supply, this is a straightforward choice.
