Vitalplant's Black Maca capsules contain a concentrated 10:1 extract from the black variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eWhat a 10:1 Extract Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eFor one part extract, ten parts of dried maca root are used. A capsule with 450 mg of extract therefore corresponds mathematically to around 4,500 mg of root material. This is the difference from pure maca powder, which is not concentrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy black maca is rarer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most of the harvest consists of yellow tubers. Red and black types make up only a smaller share. They are sorted by hand after harvest, which explains the higher price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe color is in the skin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow, red, and black describe the color of the tuber surface. It is the same species, not different plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eLepidium meyenii: Cultivation in the Andes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eMaca belongs to the mustard family and is therefore related to radish and cress. The plant is grown in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, often above 4,000 meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThere, there are strong temperature fluctuations, intense sunlight, and thin air. After harvesting, the tubers are traditionally dried in the sun, which takes several weeks. Only then does the extraction follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eBlack Maca Capsules: Composition and Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThe formula consists of two components: the maca root extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no flow agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eBehind Vitalplant is \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/autor-christian-lazar\"\u003eChristian Lazar\u003c\/a\u003e, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at the Stern Apotheke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitalplant","offers":[{"title":"120 capsules","offer_id":44417752432739,"sku":"VP-BMA-DE-120-01","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/9814\/9219\/files\/vitalplant-schwarzes-maca-kapseln-10-1-wurzelextrakt-vegan-120-kapseln.png?v=1786626370","url":"https:\/\/vitalplant.de\/en\/products\/black-maca-capsules","provider":"Vitalplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
