Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a bit disappoint to discover that it's distributed here in the US because it states it's 'Wild Organic Peruvian'. I was under the impression it was being shipped all the way from Peru. ::shrug:: Never the less, as a first time buyer, I was completely satisfied. I did a lot of reading up on Maca powder before trying it. It's very interesting substance. It has a sweetish nutty smell. I seriously wouldn't recommend eating it straight off a spoon unless you're curiosity is adventurous. I've tried mixing this in many things, but the flavor can certainly take on a life of it's own. The only way I've personally found it enjoyable is by mixing it with hot water. I can't drink coffee because of the caffeine content. However, I've become accustomed to drinking hot Maca every morning now as my 'coffee'. I boil a cup of water & then slowly pour it over 1 tblsp of Maca powder. It's important to stir while pouring because the powder does not absorb quickly. It likes to float at the top & stay there if you don't stir properly. I enjoy my cup of Maca with raw honey & coconut milk (from a carton never a can). The energy I get is nothing like caffeine. I don't get the shakes & I never feel any peaks or valleys in my energy levels. I noticed after a couple of days my sense of well being changing as well. This came to me as a big relief because I was emotionally dealing with a breakup. I will drink one cup at 4:30AM (as I get ready for work) & I would still feel awake & energized till well into the late afternoon. What initially interested me in this product is the high iron content. I'm anemic & my body wont process supplements. I definitely noticed this stuff working when the tiny bruises on my shins disappeared. HURRAY! I recommend this stuff to practically everyone. I feel like a walking informercial because a lot of people have never heard of Maca. Go on Pinterest to look up recipes. Don't be discouraged by the unique flavor. It's not the sort of powder you can just throw into anything (it made my yogurt taste funny...but that's my opinion). Hope this review was helpful & hope you enjoy this product.
