About Red Maca
Red maca is one of the rarer colours of the harvest, and is traditionally valued in Peru for its rich natural profile. It is enjoyed by both women and men.
Our concentrate is a 10:1 extract. A single ½–1 tsp serve (1.5–2.5 g) is equivalent to 15–25 g of whole red maca root. It has a softer flavour than standard maca and dissolves easily, hot or cold.
✨ 10:1 Concentrate
Ten times more concentrated than standard red maca powder.
🎨 Single Colour
Pure red maca – nothing blended in.
💧 Dissolves Easily
Softer flavour that mixes into water, tea or juice.
🫙 Small Serve
½–1 tsp a day. A 65 g jar goes a long way.

What Is Concentrated Maca?
In Peru, maca has long been prepared in two ways: boiled in water (activated maca), or soaked and extracted to make a stronger preparation. Our concentrate follows that second, traditional method. We macerate the maca to draw out its naturally occurring compounds, filter and concentrate the extract, then gently spray-dry it into a fine powder.
It takes 10 kg of fresh maca to make just 400 g of concentrate. The result is very different from our activated powders: softer in flavour, quick to dissolve and far more concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
Food of the High Andes
Maca only grows on the high plateaus of Junín, Peru, above 3,800 m, where freezing nights, fierce sun and thin air leave little else able to survive. Andean communities have grown, dried and shared it for more than 2,000 years, and it remains a treasured food in Peruvian homes today.
Our Maca Research
Seleno Health invests in research into maca. Together with the University of Otago in New Zealand, and co-funded by Callaghan Innovation, we have carried out pre-clinical laboratory studies on maca and its naturally occurring macamides. Our Concentrated Red Maca was one of the products studied, in research looking at maca and immune signalling in human cells.
Meet Our Maca Farmers
Our maca comes direct from our farm in the mountains of Junín, where we work with farmers Florencio and Yraida. Buying direct means fair prices for the families who grow it, and $1 from every jar goes to our community fund supporting San José de Quero.
“It takes ten kilos of fresh maca to make one small jar. We think that's worth slowing down for.”
