Is ND's maca good or is there better? I keep reading about gelanitized maca, black maca etc. Which is the one to go for for mood and confidence? Testosterone and libido boosts would be welcomed secondary goals.

I had NDs maca. I also have The Maca Team’s black maca extract tincture. Personally, I like the black maca better. Maca honestly really just boosts libido a little bit for me and maybe energy, maybe, but that’s about it . Doesn’t really boost mood or confidence, as it actually just makes me irritable especially if I’m not careful with how many stimulating items I’ve had throughout the day. IME the color of maca really doesn’t matter. It will work for you or it won’t. But personally Ive gotten the best results from the black maca products from the Maca Team. Good luck!

The color of maca is just an old wives tale, really. You can't plant black, yellow, or red maca. They just randomly come out one of those colors, and you can't control for it. It's also only a very thin layer on the outside of the root that is the color. Inside they are all the same color, and we don't think there is any meaningful difference in actives between them. We still need to do more science to prove that, but I think that is going to be the ultimate conclusion.
