What exactly IS maca, and where does it come from?

The maca used in MacaPunch is fair-trade, 100% pure and natural certified organic maca root, grown exclusively in the Andean highlander zones of Peru at altitudes of 14,000ft - in a region of intense sunlight, winds and below freezing temperatures.  Maca root is a natural food, containing a considerable amount of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and complex carbohydrates.

What does it mean when the directions say "take in your favourite drink"?  What kind of drink?

The MacaPunch liquid has a fairly strong taste, so we do suggest that it be mixed in liquid or food to make it more palatable.  It is fine to put the MacaPunch into any warm/hot or cold beverage (the quality and potency will not be comprimised by adding it to a hot drink).  Also, the liquid product can be taken on its own with no ill effects ~ just keep in mind how strong the taste can be.

Can you tell me the ratios of your MacaPunch liquid and powder extracts?

MacaPunch XP Platinum is concentrated using a special proprietary process and formulation, allowing for a unique cold pressed Certified Organic black maca only extract ratio of about 20:1 (approx. 20kg of maca makes 1L of extract).  MacaPunch Gelatinized Powder is obtained through an exclusive extrusion process that removes the starches from the roots of Certified Organic maca (various maca colours) making it very easy to digest and absorb.  The ratio of this product is about 6:1 (approx. 6 kg of maca makes 1kg of gelatinized powder).

What is the "gelatinization" process used on your Maca product?

Gelatinization is an extrusion process that removes the starch from the root, leaving a more concentrated powder that is easier to digest.

Are the bottles for the MacaPunch XP Platinum BPA free?

Yes, we have confirmation on file that these bottles are BPA (Bisphenol A) free.

Is MacaPunch vegan-friendly?

Yes, we have confirmation that there are no animal sourced ingredients at all – in any of our MacaPunch products (which includes MacaPunch XP Platinum liquid, MacaPunch gelatinized powder and Ultimate Maca Energy vegetarian capsules).

Why have your cautions and your recommended (or suggested) usages changed so dramatically on many of your labels?

The changes you may be noticing to our suggested usage and cautionary statements have been at the directive of Health Canada.  There have been many regulatory changes with regards to Natural Health Products causing companies to change their labels accordingly.  We have been updating our website, product information sheets and labels on the actual products to reflect these regulations as quickly as we possibly can.

Are your products Peanut free?

Following compliance with food regulations, in order to make a negative claim such as "peanut free", it would be necessary to insure a zero tolerance of any peanut traces, including the possibilty of cross contamination.  Although our manufacturing facility has a policy in place for allergen control, there is no specific policy for peanuts, nor is there a specific "no peanut agreement" with our raw material suppliers.

Should your supplements be taken with or without food?

Most of our products will specify directly on the bottle whether they should be taken with a meal or not.  If nothing is stated, then the choice is yours as to when the best time is for you to take them.
