Osterly Market Black Maca Gummies – Energy & Endurance Root

Black maca root in a daily gummy.

Black maca, the variety most often chosen for energy and endurance, in a gummy instead of the gritty raw powder.

What it's for

Maca is a root vegetable from the Peruvian Andes, eaten as a food there for centuries. It is taken for energy, endurance and mood. The research is small-scale but not nothing — several trials found effects on subjective energy and mood. Black is the least common of the three colours and the one usually chosen for stamina.

How to take it

• One gummy daily
• Any time; morning suits most people
• Traditionally eaten cooked or gelatinised — raw maca powder upsets some stomachs, which the gummy format avoids
• Maca can affect hormone-sensitive conditions. Check with a doctor if that applies to you

On the label

• Black maca root
• 60 gummies
• Gummy format, no raw-powder texture

What this is not

• Not a testosterone booster
• Not a sexual performance product, whatever the category implies
• Not the same as red or yellow maca

The straight answer

On the label: the bottle arrives branded "Curvy Balance Complex" rather than naming maca on the front. The supplier lists the contents as black maca; we mention the branding because it is not what the name here would lead you to expect.
