Description

Maca Peptide is a premium-grade bioactive oligopeptide derived from high-altitude Peruvian maca roots, using innovative directional enzymatic hydrolysis technology. The process breaks down maca’s macromolecules into highly absorbable small peptides with an average molecular weight of around 500 Da, significantly improving bioavailability, cellular uptake, and functional performance.
Maca has been traditionally valued for vitality enhancement, stamina support, anti-fatigue properties, and hormonal balance. The peptide form further amplifies these benefits, making it suitable for a wide array of modern functional foods, nutraceuticals, health supplements, sports nutrition, and cosmetic applications.

Advanced Processing Technology
Our Maca Peptide is manufactured using a biologically controlled enzymatic method that includes:
1.Raw Material Cleaning：Removal of soil, impurities, and contaminants from maca roots.
2.Directional Enzymatic Hydrolysis：Breakdown of high-molecular-weight proteins and bioactive components into small peptides with targeted molecular weight ranges.
3.Coarse Filtration：Separation of insoluble components.
4.Decolorization & Debittering：Removal of excessive pigments and bitterness while maintaining the active profile.
5.Fine Filtration：Ensures clarity and purity of peptide solution.
6.Concentration & Sterilization：Enhances product density and ensures microbiological safety.
7.Spray Drying：Produces fine, stable powder suitable for formulation.
This sophisticated process results in a bioactive peptide with:
• Excellent purity
• Clear water solubility
• Mild flavor
• High stability in food and supplement systems
