Analysis

The powder provides 5 g of organic gelatinized maca per serving. Gelatinization and full amount disclosure make the core active easy to understand and use.

Iron reaches 9 mg, while protein is only 1 g and potassium 99 mg. The iron contribution is meaningful but lacks compound detail and supporting vitamin C, folate, or vitamin B12.

A 4 mg proprietary probiotic blend is too small and opaque to add much confidence. Low serving cost and 45 servings make the product attractive primarily for maca users.

Who is it for
  • Adults specifically seeking maca powder
  • Value-conscious users who prefer gelatinized maca
Best for
  • Daily maca supplementation
  • Maca with a secondary iron contribution

Pros

  • Provides 5 g of gelatinized maca
  • Includes 9 mg of iron
  • Low recurring serving cost

Cons

  • Iron form is not disclosed
  • Probiotic blend is tiny and proprietary
  • Only 1 g of protein

Nutrient quality

85 Highest impact

Gelatinized organic maca is a practical form at a meaningful amount. Incidental protein and iron plus an unquantified probiotic blend add little to the core maca value.

.

Ingredient transparency

61 Moderate impact

The maca and nutrition amounts are clear. Probiotic strains and colony counts, iron form, complete directions, and non-active ingredients are not supplied.

.

Customer satisfaction

72 High impact

The aggregate rating is strong and supported by a large feedback volume. Specific experience details are missing, so recurring problems and purpose fit remain uncertain.

.

Value for money

86 Highest impact

A meaningful organic maca amount provides strong quality for the cost. Serving value is strong for a focused maca powder.

Report overview
Iron · 9 mg OverallScore56
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value

The 9 mg iron amount is clearly stated but remains below the usual effective range for an iron-focused supplement. Its chemical form is not disclosed, and the maca powder provides no vitamin C, folate, or B12 support for iron use. The serving cost is moderate, but the low dose limits practical value for people specifically seeking iron.

89 Performance

Chelated Iron 27 mg

Carlson
<p>It offers more targeted iron support because 27 mg of iron bisglycinate provides a clearly dosed, generally gentle chelated form, compared with the original's 9.00 mg. vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12 are absent, and unnecessary iron can accumulate, so suitability depends on iron status rather than general wellness use.</p>
88 Performance

Chelated Iron

Solgar
<p>It offers more targeted iron support because 25 mg of iron bisglycinate provides a clearly identified, generally gentle chelated form, compared with the original's 9.00 mg. the simple formula does not include vitamin C, folate, or vitamin B12, so suitability depends on iron status rather than general wellness use.</p>
87 Performance

Vegan True Iron Support

Source Naturals
<p>It offers more targeted iron support because 27 mg of Ferrochel iron bisglycinate is paired with vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12, compared with the original's 9.00 mg. the iron amount is substantial and may cause constipation or harmful excess when there is no demonstrated need, so suitability depends on iron status rather than general wellness use.</p>
89 Budget

Iron 18 mg

NOW
<p>It is a more economical iron-focused option because the lower serving cost still provides 18 mg of Ferrochel iron bisglycinate provides a focused and clearly dosed chelated form. Compared with the 9.00 mg of food-based or supplemental iron in Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, the formula omits absorption and blood-building cofactors and should not be used without a plausible iron need.</p>

Albion Chelated Ferrochel Iron 18 mg

Swanson Ultra
<p>It is a more economical iron-focused option because the lower serving cost still provides 18 mg of clearly identified TRAACS Ferrochel iron provides a focused chelated form. Compared with the 9.00 mg of food-based or supplemental iron in Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12 are absent, and iron should be used for a demonstrated need.</p>

Gentle Iron 28 mg

Nature's Bounty
<p>It is a more economical iron-focused option because the lower serving cost still provides 28 mg of ferrous bisglycinate is paired with 60 mg of vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12. Compared with the 9.00 mg of food-based or supplemental iron in Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, the substantial iron amount is appropriate only when there is a plausible or confirmed need.</p>
83 Value

Iron Complex

NOW
<p>It combines clear dosing and practical value because 27 mg of Ferrochel iron bisglycinate is paired with vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B12. Compared with Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, dong quai and red raspberry add little to iron support, and dong quai may raise bleeding risk with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, but the focused ingredient profile makes its cost easier to assess.</p>
86 Value

High Absorption Iron with Ferrochel 27 mg

Doctor's Best
<p>It combines clear dosing and practical value because 27 mg of Ferrochel supplies a substantial amount of clearly identified chelated iron. Compared with Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, no vitamin C or blood-building cofactors are included, and the dose warrants a confirmed need, but the focused ingredient profile makes its cost easier to assess.</p>

Iron Ferrochel Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate 36 mg

California Gold Nutrition
<p>It combines clear dosing and practical value because 36 mg of ferrous bisglycinate chelate provides a high amount in a focused formula. Compared with Fair Trade Organic Maca Root, vitamin C and blood-building cofactors are absent, and the high dose can cause digestive effects or harmful excess, but the focused ingredient profile makes its cost easier to assess.</p>
