Thank you so much for being dedicated to this cause! I also took gelatinized maca a few years back and it destroyed my stomach too. I liked the effects otherwise. I'm so beyond excited to try your maca!

My stomach was fucked for 6 months from that maca years ago! It was no bueno. It sucks, because I was really liking the effects. I've wanted to bring out a maca of our own for like 8 years. However, we essentially had to start from scratch. The available products out there all sucked, and the analytical methods didn't exist. Separating the macamides is actually a pain in the ass chemistry-wise, so solving all the lab stuff took us a while. Then actually making a product I could be proud of took forever. We had some extracts that were okay, but they were unable to get the heavy metals down. That's another big issue in the maca market right now. It naturally has higher levels of heavy metals, and the people out there extracting it are not able to get it down to our specs. We finally got one of our extraction partners that we trust to take on the project, and do it to the level we wanted. I honestly didn't expect to get these levels of macamides. I was hoping for 1-2%. This one came in over what we were hoping for, which brought out these cannabinoid effects we didn't even realize were something maca could do.
