The black ecotype of Peruvian maca, cultivated above 4,000 meters in the Central Andes. Among the three primary ecotypes, black maca is traditionally considered the most potent for male vitality and has shown the strongest effects on spermatogenesis and cognitive function in preclinical research.

Maca Plus
Tri-color maca for energy, hormonal balance, and mood support
Black, red, and yellow maca ecotypes provide complementary compound profiles for endocrine support, mood stability, and sustained energy without stimulation.
- ■Tri-Color Synergy: Black (libido + cognition), Red (hormonal balance + bone), Yellow (mood + energy) — each ecotype has distinct compound profiles that complement each other.
- ■Endocannabinoid Modulation: Macamides increase anandamide availability, the 'bliss molecule' — supporting mood stability without sedation or stimulation.
- ■Sustained Energy: Maca increases energy and stamina through mitochondrial and endocrine support, not through caffeine or stimulant pathways.
- ■Hormonal Axis Support: Modulates hypothalamic-pituitary signaling to support balanced hormone output — adaptogenic, not directly hormonal.

What's Inside
Ingredients are the natural sources in this product. Compounds are the bioactive molecules within each ingredient that provide specific health benefits.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Recommended Usage
Take daily before a meal
2 capsules once daily, 20-30 minutes before a meal. BioPerine enhances absorption — take consistently for 2-3 weeks before expecting full effects.
Macamides modulate endocannabinoid and endocrine signaling
Macamides inhibit FAAH enzyme, raising anandamide. Glucosinolates signal the hypothalamus to optimize pituitary hormone output. Three maca ecotypes provide complementary compound profiles.
Energy, mood, and hormonal balance improve
Improved energy, mood stability, and libido within 2-4 weeks. Hormonal balance markers improve over 6-8 weeks of consistent use.
What to Expect
This shows how the product's benefits typically develop over time — from fast-acting acute effects to steady foundational support.
Steady, cumulative support that builds over consistent daily use.

Maca Plus, by the numbers.
Black, red, and yellow maca ecotypes provide complementary compound profiles for endocrine support, mood stability, and sustained energy without stimulation.
Every active, dosed.
Every active in the formula, what it does, and how much you get.
The red ecotype of Peruvian maca, distinguished by its reddish-purple hypocotyl. Red maca has a distinct phytochemical profile compared to black and yellow varieties, and preclinical research has focused on its potential role in supporting prostate and bone health.
The most common and commercially cultivated ecotype of Peruvian maca. Yellow maca offers the most balanced phytochemical profile across the macamide and glucosinolate spectrum, and has been the primary variety studied in clinical trials on sexual desire and general vitality.
More than just a spice - Black Pepper contains piperine, a powerful bioavailability enhancer that significantly increases the absorption of other nutrients and compounds.

Black, red, and yellow maca ecotypes provide complementary compound profiles for endocrine support, mood stability, and sustained energy without stimulation.

Your stack should rotate. Yours doesn't.
Maca Plus is a Tier C active — built for long, steady cycles. After a few months of daily use, we rotate it for an alternative that targets the same outcome to keep your receptors fresh.
Our Smart Cycling system tracks every active across your stack. When tolerance starts to build — usually months 3 through 5 — we rotate complementary species in and out so the network keeps responding. You don't manage it. The system does.

When to Take Every Supplement (The Complete Timing Guide)
Your body absorbs, metabolizes, and responds to nutrients differently depending on when you take them. Fat-soluble compounds taken without fat pass through you. Stimulatory adaptogens taken at night keep you up. Minerals taken together compete for the same transporters. This is the complete timing protocol — organized by window, with the pharmacokinetic reasoning behind every recommendation.

The Men's Supplement Stack After 40: What Actually Changes and What to Do About It
Something shifts in your 40s. Recovery takes longer, energy plateaus earlier in the day, and the things that used to take care of themselves quietly stop doing so. Several biological systems that were silently declining since your late 20s reach a threshold where you feel it. Here are the six compounds with evidence to address what's actually changing — in order of priority.

The Complete Collagen Guide: Types, Formats, Timing, and Whether It Actually Works
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and the most searched supplement category after protein powder. When you ingest hydrolyzed collagen, you're not depositing intact molecules into your skin — the molecule is far too large. What happens is more interesting: specific peptide fragments survive digestion, accumulate in the dermis, and serve as signaling molecules that upregulate your body's own collagen production. This guide maps the mechanism, evaluates the evidence, and explains why format and timing determine whether supplementation works or wastes your money.
