Maca Extract Powder

Reliable Maca Extract Powder Supplier for Global Markets

Greenherb offers Maca Extract Powder derived from the root of Lepidium meyenii (maca), a cruciferous vegetable native to the Peruvian Andes. The extract is produced from carefully selected maca roots using controlled water or ethanol extraction, then spray-dried to preserve bioactive macamides and glucosinolates. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and sports nutrition formulations.

Designed for export markets, Greenherb supports both trial orders and long-term bulk supply with stable specifications.

Why Choose Greenherb Maca Extract Powder?

• Authentic Andean Sourcing – Greenherb sources maca root from high-altitude farms in Junín and Cerro de Pasco, Peru, with full traceability and fair trade support.

• Standardized Bioactives – Provides maca extract powder with guaranteed macamide content (typically ≥0.6% by HPLC) and glucosinolate profile for reproducible efficacy.

Certificate of Analysis

Product Introduction

Maca Extract Powder is a concentrated botanical ingredient made from the hypocotyls (roots) of Lepidium meyenii, traditionally used as an adaptogen and energy tonic. Greenherb’s maca extract powder delivers the essence of maca in a more potent, less fibrous form than raw maca flour.

Two main types are offered: raw extract (retaining natural enzymes and glucosinolates) and gelatinized extract (heat-treated to remove digestible starch, reducing gastric discomfort). Both are suitable for modern supplement manufacturing.

Key Characteristics:

• Botanical Source: Lepidium meyenii (maca root)

• Active Markers: Macamides, macaenes, glucosinolates

• Extraction Type: Water or ethanol extraction, spray-dried

• Appearance: Cream to light yellow or light brown powder

• Solubility: Partially soluble in water; dispersible
