Australia’s only specialised maca company, creating sustainable and ethical maca products. We use traditional and native techniques to grow and harvest our plant medicines directly with our farmer in Peru. Every step is done with respect to the sacred indigenous traditions surrounding maca. Every batch is tested to ensure the best quality maca powder via our scientific maca research program. We rescue the land and the farmer from exploitation and bad practices through different charity programs in Peru. Also we rescue ancient traditions and native techniques to preserve the culture and heritage of Maca in Peru. Maca is a starchy root vegetable, meaning it always needs to be cooked before consumption. This root should not be eaten raw, as consuming raw Maca can lead to harmful health effects. When choosing between raw Maca, activated Maca and gelatinised Maca, the heat treated options are always best. Seleno Health only sells heat ‘activated’ Maca (gelatinised Maca) which is pre-cooked, making it not only safe to consume but also improves the taste and absorption.
