HOW IS ROYAL MACA® DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LEADING BRANDS OF MACA?
- Royal Maca® is Certified Organic. Whole World Botanicals was the first U.S. company (Since 2000) to produce certified organic maca root products.
- Royal Maca is produced from Sun Dried Maca Roots. The roots are dried slowly in the sun for 6 to 8 weeks after harvesting. This is essential for the optimal conversion of their glucosinolates to isothiocyanates—a secondary metabolite of maca believed to be important for maca’s hormone balancing properties. Many other companies dry their maca roots in 4 or 5 hours in commercial dryers, which causes the maca to lose most of its hormone balancing effects.
- Royal Maca® is a potent root extract prepared by a proprietary extrusion (gelatinzation) process, involving high heat for a few seconds. The resulting product is highly concentrated (4:1), with a low carbohydrate content.
- Royal Maca ® is bioenergetically grown according to millennia old traditions. The maca seed is both planted and harvested on the full moon, with prayers and with both men and women participating in the planting and harvesting, a practice believed to be important to the balance of the male and female energies in the plants.
- Whole World Botanicals Practices Fair Trade and Community Involvement: Whole World Botanicals has worked with the same five maca growing communities for the last 15 years. WWB pays significantly higher than market price for the maca roots it buys and offers interest- free loans and free technical assistance for the improvement of their maca crop production.
- Whole World Botanicals helps to protect the environment in the Andes of Peru through supporting organic maca production and through the promotion of the use of solar energy by maca farmers for heating their homes and cooking their food.
- Whole World Botanicals offers a Hot Line for its customers to answer questions about the use of its product. Customers received individualized support in the most effective use of Royal Maca products.
