Maca Powder (Heking) is a food-grade botanical powder made from maca root, commonly identified as Lepidium meyenii Walp. It is supplied as a bulk, manufacturing-use ingredient for B2B buyers supporting nutraceutical, functional food, and beverage premix applications where a recognizable maca input is desired.
In formulation, maca powder is typically used in daily wellness and botanical blend concepts. The Ingredients Online listing notes it can function as an emulsifier in select systems (e.g., assisting mixing of fats/oils with other dry components), with final performance dependent on the complete formula and processing conditions.
