About tri color maca

Maca is a root vegetable that grows in the Peruvian Andes, generally above 4,000 metres of elevation in the Junín plateau. It remains one of the few crops that thrives in that thin-air, intense-sun environment. Andean farmers have long sorted the harvest by colour: yellow, red, and black. All three are the same species but contain naturally occurring compounds in different ratios, including macamides, macaenes and glucosinolates.

Tri Color Maca blends yellow, red and black maca varieties in one capsule. The maca in this product is sourced from Peru, then concentrated into a 4:1 extract, which means 1 capsule (750 mg) delivers the active compounds equivalent to 3,000 mg of the dried root.

Each capsule also includes a small amount of piperine, the active compound found in black pepper.

Color is the easiest way to tell you're holding something that grew. Maca varies a little batch to batch depending on the season and the soil it came from. The dose and potency in every capsule is fixed.

Common questions

What should I expect when the bottle arrives? +

Every bottle is checked before it leaves our warehouse, then double-sealed: clear shrink wrap on the outside, tamper-evident foil under the cap. Orders ship in a padded mailer or small box depending on size, both completely normal. If anything looks off when you open it, send us a note and we'll sort it out. Contact info is at the end of this guide.

What if it doesn't agree with me? +

If your first bottle isn't the right fit, email info@kashanutrition.com with your Order ID. Our 60-day first-order satisfaction policy covers a full refund to your original payment method (3 to 5 business days, depending on your bank).

Tri Color Maca or Black Maca, what's the difference? +

Maca grows in several natural color varieties: yellow, red, and black. They share the same family of naturally occurring compounds (macamides, macaenes, glucosinolates) but in different ratios depending on the color. In traditional Andean agriculture, different maca colours have historically been distinguished and used in different cultural contexts. Our Tri Color Maca combines yellow, red and black maca varieties in a single product. Both our Tri Color Maca and Black Maca are licensed for the same Health Canada uses (source of antioxidants, support for emotional aspects of sexual health, healthy mood balance during menopause). The choice is mostly preference: Tri Color blends all three colors in one capsule; Black Maca is the single-variety option.

Is it for men or women? +

Both. Tri Color Maca and Black Maca are both licensed for adults of any gender. The traditional Andean associations with one color or another are part of the historical context, not a restriction on who the product is for today.

Can I take it during menopause? +

Yes. Healthy mood balance during menopause is one of the licensed uses for this product. If you're on any medication, please check in with your healthcare provider first.

Can I take it with my medication? +

Talk to your healthcare provider first. The cautions above flag specific medications (antidepressants, blood thinners) and conditions (high blood pressure, anxiety, depression) where a check-in matters. The piperine in the formula also means it's worth discussing with your provider if you take other medications or supplements regularly.

Can I stack it with other Kasha Nutrition supplements? +

We always recommend talking to your healthcare provider before combining any supplements. Every body is different, and your provider knows your personal health history best. If they give you the green light, we suggest introducing one supplement at a time and seeing how your body responds before adding the next.

Larger bottles or subscription? +

Our current size is 120 capsules, which is a 4-month supply at the standard dose. We're always working on expanding our catalogue with new sizes and product lines, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, you can find us on Amazon at our Amazon storefront, where we run ongoing promotions, offer Subscribe & Save, and bulk-purchase discounts at checkout.
