Maca Extract VS Maca Powder
​Preparation

Concentration

​Potency

Ease of use

1. Maca extract is typically made by soaking maca root in alcohol or another solvent to extract its active compounds. The resulting liquid is then concentrated into a potent extract. On the other hand, maca powder is made by drying maca root and grinding it into a fine powder.

2. Maca extract is more concentrated than maca powder. This means that a smaller amount of maca extract is needed to achieve the desired effects compared to maca powder.

3. Due to its concentration, maca extract may be more effective in providing the desired health benefits, such as hormonal regulation and energy enhancement. However, the specific efficacy may vary based on the extraction process and the quality of the product.

4. Maca powder is typically more versatile and easier to incorporate into various recipes and beverages. It can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, or mixed with water or other liquids. Maca extract, being a liquid, may have limited usage options and require precise dosing.
