Black maca is one of the more rare and valued variants of the maca family, with its dark pigmentation and rich phytonutrient profile giving it a special reputation among adaptogens.
Sunfood’s Black Maca Capsules is designed to deliver that botanical potency in a stable, easy-to-use form. With 800 mg of organic black maca powder per capsule, this formulation makes it easy to incorporate the adaptogen into your daily routine without the need for measuring or blending.
Traditionally used by Andean communities, black maca is reputed for supporting hormonal health in both men and women, boosting stamina, and enhancing vitality. Whether you’re looking to support hormone balance, energy levels, or resilience to daily stressors, these capsules offer a premium, no-fuss approach to maca supplementation.

This has helped me with muscle recovery from weight lifting and sprints. I recover quicker and therefore have less aches. I also take it for energy and hormone balance. I would recommend.
