Buyer Decision Guide
Peptides are specified by source, degree of hydrolysis and molecular-weight distribution. Confirm the protein content basis, the assay method and the MW cut-off, because two products described by the same name can behave very differently in solubility and taste.
- Confirm the source material declaration
- Check protein content and the assay method
- Review molecular-weight distribution data
- Confirm solubility, taste and hygroscopicity for your format
How This Grade Differs
Maca Peptide is a hydrolysed peptide from Lepidium meyenii root, not the intact protein and not a botanical extract of the same raw material. Compare source, degree of hydrolysis and MW distribution when substituting.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which impurity limits are declared?
Moisture and ash are held within the approved specification limits, with heavy metals and microbiology tested on every lot.
How is lot traceability handled?
Each lot keeps batch records and a retained sample, and the certificate for LXMK260120 carries the same batch reference used in the quotation.
How is protein content expressed?
Protein >=70.0% on dried basis; low-molecular-weight peptide fraction, on the basis stated on the certificate.
What assay does Maca Peptide Powder carry on the certificate of analysis?
Assay Protein >=70.0% on dried basis; low-molecular-weight peptide fraction, determined by HPLC.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
