Essential Living Foods Proprietary Maca Blend
This proprietary blend of yellow, red, black, and premium maca powders delivers higher levels of glucosinolates, the primary active compound in maca, than other maca powders - giving you even more of the energy, endurance and performance enhancement you're looking for!  Similar to ginseng and other adaptogenic foods, maca is traditionally known to support hormone balance, increase libido and energy.  It's more than health food - it's Essential Living Food."

This amazing super-nutrient food comes from the hardy Maca plant, which thrives high in the rugged Andes Mountains.  Similar to ginseng and other adaptogenic foods, Maca’s potent nutritional content enhances your ability to handle stress, while boosting energy, endurance and performance.

Our organically-grown Maca is rich with alkaloids, glucosinolates, and phytosterols—unique nutrients that support hormone balance, detoxification and lower cholesterol levels!

Maca’s been a traditional health and vitality secret since the days of the ancient Inca—it’s also revered as a powerful aphrodisiac.   Try a scoop in your smoothies, juices, and chocolate recipes to discover the powerful effects for yourself!

We make our proprietary blend of maca from both different types of maca (yellow, black and red) and different processing techniques (slowly sun dried and a faster, low temperature commercial drying that yields 4 times the levels of the active glucosinolates).

Our maca is packaged in environmentally friendly stainless steel tins.  These tins are infinitely recyclable and they help insure freshness in the product.  By buying this product from Essential Living Foods you are helping to support the environment, the farmers that produced the maca, and you are providing your body with an amazing, healthy food.

Ingredients: Organic Maca Powder Blend (organic yellow maca powder, organic black maca powder, organic red maca powder), Organic Premium Maca Powder.

Allergen Information: Manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts.

ABOUT ESSENTIAL LIVING FOODS.

Social Impact

At Essential Living Foods, we believe that business needs to have a positive impact on the world, using the power of commerce to improve lives, communities, and ecosystems. We strive to be a “good corporate citizen” in a multitude of ways, creating positive social impact with our business model, the partners we choose, giving back a portion of our revenues and profits, how we treat our employees, and the nutritional and healing properties of our products. Everyone who works here feels great about doing something good in the world while earning a decent living at the same time.

Fair Trade

Essential Living Foods started as an importer of unique organic foods, and from the beginning we’ve built our business on paying fair prices to our farming partners. We do our best to go directly to the source whenever possible, bypassing middleman so we can deliver the best value to our customers AND pay premium prices to the growers. There are a few different certifying organizations out there putting a third party seal on these fair trade practices. We are working with all of them to get these seals in place, but even while that is in process, you can rest assured that your purchases from Essential Living Foods is supporting farmers through equitable trade practices!

Giving Back

We don’t just pay fair prices for our foods – we share our success with our farming communities by giving back a portion of what we make.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a big word for us. It means that we have to sustain our business, because if we aren’t profitable and growing, we won’t exist in the future to continue doing the good that we’re doing. It also means that we want to do everything we can to not deplete non-renewable resources and to rebuild and protect fragile ecosystems. We do this at the farm level by the organic agriculture techniques we use, as well as things like powering our office on solar power and buying carbon credits to offset all of our corporate air travel and all of our food import transportation carbon emissions.

Partners

Money flows around and around. We make money from the sales of our products, and we try to do as much good as we can with how and from whom we purchase our foods from. But aside from buying our amazing, healthy, organic superfoods, we also spend a lot of money each year on more mundane items like banking services, legal services, etc. We try to find companies of a like mind to ours to work with. We find that they understand us better, and hence can offer us better service, and we feel good that we can keep the prosperity flowing to other companies doing good in the world.
