Maca or Maca extract

Does a good Maca extract exist? Sort of like Chocamine for cocao? I had this drink that contains "4:1 Maca Extract" and it had all the effects I typically see with regular gelatinized Maca. I think the dosage for Maca is usually a couple grams which would be a bit much for capsules but it'd be awesome to have a 4:1 extract that would give you a full dose in one capsule.
I'd be interested in a regular gelatinized Maca powder as well but particularly interested if ND could find a good Maca extract/concentrate to offer in capsule form.
Also, I think a Maca and Mushroom blend would be pretty cool. I found this blend which has Maca, Mushroom, Turmeric, and Cocao. The problem is it's proprietary and I would guess they are diluting the more expensive ingredients with the much cheaper cocao. Maca with some mushrooms, a curcumin extract, cocao, and maybe ashwaghanda or rhodiola would be a really good all natural adaptogenic powder blend. It might even be good tasting enough to be used as a kind of golden milk powder.

I am a bit biased against maca, due to my previous issues with it. However, perhaps I should put that aside and reassess it. Just because I got screwed by it in the past doesn't mean the product itself can't be made well. Let me talk to my team about it. The time maca screwed me was just some of the worst GI pain I have ever felt. So I have stayed far away from it since then.
