The question we get after every maca post: powder or capsules?

Honest answer: both work. Different situations.

Powder → cheaper per gram, flexible dose, but tastes earthy. Best if you're already blending smoothies daily.
Capsules → consistent dose, no taste, easy to travel with. Best if you want a habit that doesn't require willpower.

We make capsules because most people abandon powder after two weeks. Habits beat intentions.

"If 2 capsules is good, 8 must be better, right?"

No.

Plant-based supplements work on your body's baseline systems — not by flooding your bloodstream. Doubling the dose doesn't double the effect. It just risks side effects and wastes your money.

The label dose exists because that's what worked in the studies. Take that. Give it 4-6 weeks. Then decide.

Patience beats aggression here.

→ colds that hang around for two weeks

→ recurring cold sores or mouth ulcers
→ that run-down feeling before you're actually sick

Cat's Claw (uña de gato) has been used in Peruvian herbalism for centuries as a daily immune support. Not a cure-all. A supplement to a system that could use help.
