Supplements: açaí, guaraná and maca

This category offers plant-based food supplements in powder form: Pure Açaí Powder, Guaraná Seed Powder and Maca Root Powder. They are food supplements. They are not medicines, and we make no medical or health claims about them.

Powders are flexible. You can stir a small amount into smoothies, drinks, yoghurt, cereal or meals, which is why they are often sold as superfood powders.

The three powders

Each product page lists the single ingredient and the size. In short:

• Pure Açaí Powder: dried and ground açaí berries (Euterpe oleracea), with a deep purple colour and a rich, slightly earthy flavour
• Guaraná Seed Powder: ground guaraná seeds (Paullinia cupana), with a slightly bitter, earthy taste and a naturally high caffeine content
• Maca Root Powder: ground maca root (Lepidium meyenii), with a mild, slightly malty flavour; maca has been used as a food ingredient in the Andes for centuries

Using the powders in everyday food

Mix a small amount into a smoothie, juice, yoghurt, cereal or baking. Guaraná is usually taken in small quantities with water, juice or another drink. Each product page describes the flavour of the powder, so you can pick the one that fits your recipes.

Because each powder is a concentrated form of the fruit, seed or root, a small amount is enough to add flavour to everyday recipes. Açaí pairs well with smoothies, yoghurt and breakfast bowls, maca with cereal and baking, and guaraná with water or juice.

What to check before you order

Read the ingredients and the notes on the product page. Maca may contain traces of gluten and nuts, and açaí may contain traces of nuts. Guaraná has a high caffeine content and is not recommended for children or for pregnant or breast-feeding women. Each powder comes in a 100 g pack.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. If you are pregnant, take medication or have a medical condition, ask a doctor or pharmacist before you try a new food supplement.
