WHY
GELATINIZED MACA?
More
Digestible
Gelatinized Imperial Gold
Maca™ can be better digested than regular Maca powder used by other
brands.
The Maca contains approximately 60% of carbohydrates in its
nutritional value. During the gelatinization process, long chains of
starches contained in the Maca powder are unfolded, increasing the
digestibility degree, also known as gelatinization index, which, in the
case of our product reaches up to a 98% index
Dissolves
Instantly In Water
Unlike the flour found in
regular Maca powder. This
benefit is due to the great number of hydrogen bonds generated during
starch unfolding in the gelatinization process.
Less
Microbiological Content
Microbiologic: The Maca
plant is cultivated in the Peruvian Andes, where there is a lack of
adequate aseptic handling conditions. As a result, the product obtained
has a high content of pathogen agents. Companies in charge of the
production and encapsulation process of the common Maca powder usually
solve this problem by:
-
They
simply sell or encapsulate it, not caring about it’s microbiologic
content
-
Gelatinized
Maca products that are produced outside of the National University
of Agriculture, La Molina, are usually poor attempts to duplicate
the real thing.
-
When
entering demanding markets, the Maca powder is irradiated at the
Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy (IPEN).
In this case, even though it’s still not proven that
irradiation can or cannot cause cancer or other alterations, some
markets such as the Japanese have restricted the entrance of
irradiated maca.
Higher Density
Meaning that while a size zero
capsule containing Maca in the form of powder has normally a total value
of 400-420 milligrams of this product, the same capsule containing the
gelatinized form has a total value of 500 milligrams. Showing that
gelatinized Maca capsules are more concentrated than common Maca
capsules. Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca is now available in higher
potency 600mg capsules in double zero capsules.
WHY
GELATINIZED MACA FROM
A
Healthy Alternative, LLC?
Because
of use of the highly selected raw material which has been organically
grown above 4,000 m.a.s.l. Therefore, no fertilizers or other toxic
substances have been used during its process, unlike in lower altitudes,
where due to the existence of more favorable conditions for larger crop
productions, such as potatoes, farmers have been using for decades toxic
substances (fertilizers, urea) for pest-control purposes
On
the other hand, scientific studies have proven that the natural
intensity of the solar radiation from the sun existent in the highlands
allows the synthesis of most of the valuable contents of alkaloids and
glucosinolates existing in the Maca
because
the process of Gelatinization meets the technical standards given by the
National University of Agriculture of La Molina, Peru.
And also our product
don’t contain excipients
or preservatives, obtaining a completely natural product free of
chemical substances. A Healthy Alternative, LLC is one of the very few company's
that bring there organic crops to the University and the University then
produces the finished Gelatinized Imperial Gold Maca.
THE
RAW MATERIAL
Gelatinized
maca is obtained through a process specially conceived at the Institute
of Agro Industrial Development of the National University of Agriculture
of La Molina. The result is a high-quality product able to compete even
in the most exigent demanding markets.
The
process begins after the selection of the Maca roots, then continuing
with the careful disinfections. Finally, the roots are dried at high
pressure and temperature for a very short time in order to reduce the
minimum of any possibility of contamination by microorganisms in the
final product.
Special
care has been taken in the selection of the cooking-drying method. Under
carefully controlled parameters to assure a low level of final humidity
(9-11%), allowing the long chains of starches to unfold without
denaturalizing the active principles, making the Gelatinized Imperial
Gold Maca™
a product 98% digestible and complete in its properties.
The
cooking-drying process applied to the gelatinized Maca
guarantees that the final product has similar properties to those
of the maca consumed traditionally by our ancestors. Indeed, it assures
the none existence of cyanhydric acid acid (toxic element found in the raw
Maca).
Suggested
use: the dose recommended of Gelatinized Maca is 1-1.5g/person/day,
lower than the common Maca powder which is
2-2.5 g/person/day.
In
each stage of the elaboration process, there are rigorous quality
controls. All our finished Imperial Gold Maca products are certified by
the National University of Agriculture, La Molina, Peru, and it's
laboratory certifies each stage and issues and official certificate of
analysis on its stationary that is forwarded to our customers with
orders of 1 kilo or more, otherwise official University labels are
attached to all bulk packages showing the lot number and batch number as
assigned by this University.
Gelatinized
Maca products that do not have this official document from this
University are attempting to fool the public in thinking they are
getting the real thing. GELATINIZED
