The short answer: Black maca extract capsules contain a concentrate of black maca root, not the raw powder. Our Organic Black Maca Capsules hold 750 mg of 50:1 organic black maca root extract per veggie capsule, made from 37,500 mg of black maca roots, plus 5 mg BioPerine®. Here is what the ratio means, how it compares with raw powder and what to check before you buy.
An extract ratio tells you how much dried root went into the finished extract. 50:1 means 50 parts of black maca root were used to make 1 part of extract. That is why each 750 mg capsule is described on the label as made from 37,500 mg of root (750 × 50).
Dried maca root is milled and steeped in a solvent, usually water or water and food-grade alcohol. The liquid is separated from the fiber, concentrated and dried into a fine powder. The result is far more compact than whole root, so a single capsule carries the equivalent of many teaspoons of root.
