What is Maca Powder?
Maca is a plant that resembles a carrot--with a long taproot and a green, leafy stem--though it exhibits a yellow color rather than an orange one. Native to South America--specifically, the Andes mountains in Peru--the plant is used in multiple ways by Peruvians, both through drying for use in flour and baking, or cooked as a root vegetable. Today, it is often exported out of South America as a powder or extract.
Derived from the root of the maca plant, our maca powder is a versatile and nutrient-dense superfood that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine. Whether you're looking to add a nutritional boost to your morning smoothie, or simply want to enjoy the benefits of maca as a dietary ingredient, our maca powder is a perfect choice.
For centuries, it has been used by the indigenous people of the region as a source of energy, and nutrition. Today, maca is popular around the world as a natural dietary ingredient that can support overall health and wellness. Our maca powder is made from 100% pure, maca root. We work with farmers in Peru to source the highest quality maca, which is then carefully dried and ground into a fine powder. This means that our maca powder is free from any artificial additives, preservatives, or fillers, and is completely natural and safe to use.
So what are the benefits of maca powder? While we can't make any health claims, maca has been traditionally used for a wide range of purposes, including energy support and cognitive support.

Product Questions:
What quality documents can you provide?
- Certificates of Analysis (COA)
- MSDS
- Allergen & pesticide statements
What is the difference between powder, 4:1, %, etc?
Whole herbs and extracts are both very different products.
Whole botanicals in some cases contain every part of a botanical including roots or stems while extract contains a specific botanical compound and is measured to a specific amount.
Extracts come with standards set by potency percentage so your order will always match what was advertised.
NutriCargo Whole Ingredients (do not have % or ration in their name)
A whole ingredient contains the entire botanical, including the roots, stem, flower etc.
NutriCargo Extracts
Extracts contain specific compounds extracted from the botanical. These compounds are denoted by the “%” sign.
Herbal extracts are often “standardized” to contain a certain amount of a compound or active ingredient. Standardization ensures that every batch of a botanical extract contains the same amount of the advertised compound. For example, Acerola 10% may be standardized to 10% vitamin C. Every batch of that product will have at least 10% of that active compound.
NutriCargo Extract Ratios
Ratio extracts are denoted by the ratio in their product name. For example 4:1, 5:1, 10:1 etc.
If it’s a 4:1 extract, for example, that means that four parts of the original plant are going into one part of the final extract, making it a concentrated powder.
Think of it this way: Ratio of dry plant material (X) to final extract quantity(Y).
X : Y
Y = weight of dry plant material
X = weight or volume of extract (depending upon whether the extract is a solid/dry extract or a liquid extract)
The concept here is that the essential activity of the dry plant material (X) is found in the quantity of extract (Y). Or in other words, Y quantity of the extract is equivalent to X quantity of the dry plant.
For example, a botanical ingredient listed as a 4:1 extract means that 4 kg of raw herbs were extracted down to 1 kg of dried powdered extract.
What type of quality control measures does NutriCargo take?
- The institution of an internal Quality Control Program to ensure that products are free of toxins and undesired by-products.
- Alliances with science laboratories to enforce rigorous testing procedures.
- Weekly testing for microbial pathogens and heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury).
- Microbiological testing (Total Plate count, Yeast & Mold, Coliforms, E. Coli and Salmonella).
- Random testing of materials' moisture content.
- HPTLC (High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) testing for initial approval and supply of materials.
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing for powder extracts.
- Prevention of all sub-potent and contaminated materials from entering the products.
- Regular testing for proper identification and chemical efficacy.
