The colour of the root (it is really just the skin) is determined by the plant itself. You plant Maca seeds and the roots grow and the ratios are usually 60-70% yellow, 20-25% red and 10-15% black. You can read up on it in below link. There is also sometimes a purple root, but technically it is classed as red. Several years ago Chinese companies bought up a whole harvest of Maca roots from Peru (illegally) by..."

It is being touted as "the next big thing" as it has similar benefits to caffeine but less side effects. It has GRAS status in the USA, but would definitely be Novel in the UK and EU as it is synthetically produced. No doubt someone will apply for Novel Food approval, at the point it is approved, this page will be updated."

In 1989 a contaminated batch of L-Tryptophan from a Japanese factory caused an outbreak of a rare illness in the USA, there were also fatalities. This lead to L-Tryptophan being banned, other countries (including the UK) followed suit and it remained so until around 2005. A new safety assessment was done and it was specified that in the UK (and EU) al..."

Anything at or above 1178mg of Glucosamine (base) is deemed a pharmacological dose, food supplements would have to be lower. To ensure this clear space can be demonstrated, discussions between HFMA, CRN UK, and PAGB have led to an upper level, for guidance purposes only as follows: 1100mg Glucosamine (base) …whi..."

When you put some plastic in your recycling bin you don't know where it is going and how (or if) it is being recycled. The two methods both have pros and cons. In summary, mechanical grinds up old plastic (after sorting and washing) into pellets, these are then reused to extrude new plastic items. Chemical recycling actually breaks down the plastic into its component parts and..."
