This Maca is yellow and does not contain gelatin, they use cellulose instead which is a vegetarian alternative. You can go to their website and see more details - www.peruvian-naturals.com - the ingredients label is available to view on their site.

It appears to be yellow in color. It is compacted into a tablet that can be broken. When broken, the maca like fine powder. I guess you can say the outside is gelatinized. The powder on the inside appears to be like powder, I would guess it's raw on the inside.

It's yellow, and there's no mention of gelatin in the ingredients, only Maca, cellulose, and shellac.

Well this depends on what you mean by "Raw maca" The maca Now food sells is actually a "Maca Concentrate" utilizing Gelatinized maca -- which means the maca has already been cooked. You can get maca in a few different ways, one being the raw Maca Flour, which is not galatinized, and then maca that has been galatinized, and then in these capsules. Generally "raw" maca flour tastes REALLY bad, and some people have stomach upset with it. I haven't experienced that, and yes I've had raw maca flour before, many people put it in smoothies or -- even better -- you can put it in your coffee, and if its hot enough and in there long enough it dilutes the taste a little. Traditionally you use raw maca powder for cooking though which usually aids in decreasing any stomach upset you'd get from eating the powder in a raw form. You can get gelatinized maca, and this form you can pretty much eat in anything as its already gone through that process... and that goes for the maca supplements you see here, these SHOULD not cause any stomach upset, but then again I've never had stomach upset from raw maca flour either. As far as potency goes, to be completely honest I always get a better effect from the raw flour or a gelatinized compound -- but the taste is quite terrible in my opinion. These are a good substitute especially if you're new to taking maca, you should still be able to see and feel the benefits.

Noted from the webste healtguidance.org, 'The Magical Benefits of Peruvian Maca' states "Chemically Maca root contains significant amounts of amino acids, carbohydrates, and minerals including calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, iron, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E. Peruvian Maca also includes a number of glycosides.To what levels, I could not answer. I would have to say it would most likely depend on the dosage and purity of the product. You could find a product you like and then contact the manufacturer.

I think that they are vegan, it says that they are produced only from vegetable products. They are not gelatin, they are instead a regular hard pill that dissolves under your tongue. It says that not milk products are used in the production. I think they should be fine. Hope this helps!

It is probably the capsule itself that is made from gelatin. If you have vegan concerns you may consider emptying the pills into a shot glass with a splash of water and drinking them. Just give the pill a gentle squeeze at both ends and a bit of a twist and pull and they will come apart easily.

The bottle says they are "vegetarian/vegan". The ingredients listed are activated charcoal, vegetable cellulose, rice flour, and calcium silicate. Gelatin is not listed as an ingredient. The picture on the bottle looks like a "tablet", but the actual product is a capsule.

I have no proof of either color in these capsules. Wiki says "Maca hypocotyls may be gold or cream, red, purple, blue, black, or green. Each is considered a genetically unique variety, as seeds of the parent plants grow to have roots of the same color." The capsules are pinkish. I suggest you write the manufacturer.

I was going to write that I had never heard of these kinds of gelatin capsules but I went to read the label on my bottle & it said: Gelatin capsules ( bovine, USP, Halal ). I googled it & it said that these capsules are manufactured in India & are in accordance with Islamic Law. I guess you'll have to research it further to fully come to an conclusion. I am enjoying the Black Seed very much though. I hope this response has helped you. Good heath to you.

Cannot answer as to its being either organic or "red" maca but it is a powder contained in a clear gel capsule so I would say it is not gelatinized. You can contact the US company, Natural Health International, at 888-668-3661 and ask them yourself.
