Our Maca Extract Capsules deliver 5% macamides, the active compounds that give maca its distinctive effects on energy, mood, and arousal. Standardized to contain over 8x higher macamide content than typical extracts, this potent Lepidium meyenii extract supports endocannabinoid activity through FAAH support and CB1 receptor interaction for a smooth, uplifting experience that supports energy within 30 minutes.
Our Maca Extract Story
We spent years searching for a maca extract that could deliver the legendary effects Peruvians have celebrated for centuries. Extract after extract disappointed us and our beta-testers with lackluster potency and minimal effects. The problem was clear: most commercial maca extracts contain less than 0.6% macamides, far too little to produce meaningful endocannabinoid activity.
Our current source changed everything. This 5% macamide extract impressed every single beta-tester on first dose, producing the rapid mood elevation and smooth energy boost that makes maca so prized. By standardizing to this exceptional macamide concentration, we finally created a maca extract worthy of this remarkable Andean root’s reputation for enhancing vitality and well-being.

Benefits
- Enhances Energy Levels: Herbs for energy like maca work rapidly, with noticeable effects beginning within 30 minutes as the 5% macamides support sustained vitality without the crash associated with stimulants.
- Promotes A Positive Mood: The macamides support FAAH enzyme activity and interact with CB1 receptors, supporting levels of mood-regulating endocannabinoids like anandamide and 2-AG for uplifting effects that can turn around a difficult day.
- Enhances Sexual Well-Being: Maca’s traditional reputation for supporting arousal stems from its unique combination of neurotransmitter effects and healthy blood flow support, creating optimal conditions for intimate wellness.
- Promotes A Sense Of Calm: The endocannabinoid-like activity of macamides provides gentle relaxation without sedation, creating a balanced state where energy and tranquility coexist.
Maca’s cruciferous vegetable compounds provide antioxidant support, while its isothiocyanates offer beneficial effects similar to those found in broccoli and other members of the cabbage family.
Quality and Standardization
- 5% Macamides Standardization: Our maca extract is standardized to deliver exactly 5% macamides through HPLC analysis, providing over 8x higher active compound concentration than typical maca extracts that contain only 0.6% macamides.
- Premium Lepidium meyenii Source: We source our maca from the traditional growing regions of the Peruvian highlands where adaptogens like maca develop their highest potency and macamide content.
- Third-Party Lab Verification: Every batch undergoes comprehensive identity and purity testing at our third-party labs to ensure consistent macamide levels and absence of contaminants.
- N-Alkylamide Compound Profile: Our extract contains the full spectrum of bioactive N-alkylamide compounds naturally found in maca root, maintaining the traditional synergistic effects profile that has been used for centuries in Peru.

Mechanism of Action
- FAAH Enzyme Support: The macamides in our maca extract support healthy fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity, the enzyme responsible for regulating endocannabinoids like anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), supporting these mood-regulating compounds in your system.
- CB1 Receptor Support: Macamides interact with CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the brain, supporting your body’s own endocannabinoid activity to promote feelings of wellbeing and relaxation.
- Enhanced Endocannabinoid Signaling: The macamides support your endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating mood, energy, comfort, and arousal responses.
- Isothiocyanate Activity: As a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, maca also provides beneficial isothiocyanate compounds similar to those found in broccoli, supporting cellular health through antioxidant pathways independent of the macamide effects.

Overview of the Science
Research suggests the macamides in our extract support healthy neurological function through their ability to promote mitochondrial function in neural tissue [1]. Studies indicate these compounds help maintain cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level, which supports sustained energy without the typical peaks and crashes associated with other stimulants. The macamides’ structural similarity to endocannabinoids allows them to modulate multiple pathways simultaneously, creating a synergistic effect that supports both physical energy and mental clarity.

Beyond their direct effects on energy metabolism, macamides support the body’s natural stress response systems. The 5% concentration in our extract provides significant bioactive compounds that work through the endocannabinoid system to promote resilience during periods of physical or mental demand. This dual action on both energy production and stress response makes maca particularly valuable for individuals seeking comprehensive vitality supplements that address multiple aspects of well-being simultaneously.

Ingredients
Maca Extract (Lepidium meyenii):
- 200mg per capsule
- Standardized to 5% macamides by HPLC
- 10mg macamides per serving
This 5% macamides standardization represents a significant advancement in maca supplement quality. Most commercial maca extracts contain only 0.6% macamides, making our extract over 8 times more potent in the active compounds responsible for maca’s energizing and mood-supporting effects. The HPLC standardization ensures consistent potency across every batch, delivering the reliable macamide concentration needed for noticeable benefits. This level of concentration allows for lower serving sizes while maintaining the traditional effects that have made maca a staple in hormone support and vitality supplements for centuries.

Andrew –
The best Maca on the market, because it is.
It is my daily go to supplements, because it is with a nice amount of heartwarming libido effects that are positive.
From reading for men, maca is a gentle libido and fertility nudge—small trials show better desire and sperm metrics without budging testosterone, with 1.5–3 g/day and a mainly clean short‑term safety signal.
Buy your Maca from Nootropics Depot because it’s the best, very reasonably priced. And will treat your body right. I’m so able to confirm, it’s nuts c’mon!
