- Its 5,000 mg of organic maca powder (filed by NIH under maca) is higher than 98% of the 728 maca products that print an amount; 7 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
