http://news.therawfoodworld.com/maca-root-powder-raw-vs-gelatinized/ <- good for ella to read.
but, which is the one that is in capsule form, I guess is what I am asking. I know I don't take raw maca.. so are the ones in capsules gelatinized?
There is gelatinized which is pre-cooked and then raw which hasn't had the starches cooked out so that's why it's harsher on the stomach.
I think it depends on which brand you buy. I have seen gelatinized capsules and raw capsules too! But this is confusing.. Now brand has a raw one but it says it's gelatinized also... so..it's not raw then (?!).. lol

I took the maca one that DOESN'T say raw on it and never had stomach issues and I have a sensitive stomach so I am pretty sure that the other now one is gelatinized.
