Protected from harvest to bottle
Four carefully controlled steps help preserve botanical integrity, verify purity, and minimize unnecessary handling.
Processed the same day
Freshly harvested botanicals are delivered from nearby partner farms for same-day processing, helping protect their natural structure and delicate plant compounds.
Tested before processing
Every batch is screened in the factory's own laboratory for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants before it enters the freeze-drying system.
Freeze-dried and milled in one system
The frozen botanicals are dried under vacuum and milled in the same system, minimizing heat, transfers, and unnecessary exposure.
Bottled at the source
The finished botanical is encapsulated and sealed in Thailand. It is never shipped loose in bulk or repacked on another continent.
About Marcapa™
One facility. One process. Complete visibility.
Marcapa is based in Missoula, Montana. Our botanicals are produced at a single facility in Lamphun, northern Thailand, where we use one specialized freeze-drying process across our entire range.
Vortex Freeze-Dry combines freeze-drying and milling in one continuous system. Unlike multi-stage processing, the botanical does not need to be dried, transferred, and ground separately—helping minimize heat, handling, and additional processing.
It’s a deliberately simple approach. All three Marcapa formulas are made on the same line, in the same facility, with visibility at every step from harvest to finished product.
Questions people ask
What is black ginger?
Black ginger is Kaempferia parviflora, a rhizome native to Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. Its flesh is dark purple to black, which is where the common name comes from. It is measured on a class of compounds called methoxyflavones, and 5,7-dimethoxyflavone is the marker most often reported.
Is black ginger the same as regular ginger?
No. Black ginger is Kaempferia parviflora and culinary ginger is Zingiber officinale. They share the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, but sit in different genera with different chemistry — gingerols in culinary ginger, methoxyflavones in black ginger, with no overlap. The five differences that matter
Are Marcapa products extracts or whole plant?
Whole plant. Marcapa Black Ginger is 700 mg of freeze-dried, milled Kaempferia parviflora root per serving, not an extract, and Marcapa Amalaki is whole Phyllanthus emblica fruit. This matters when comparing labels, because an extract's milligram figure and a whole root's are not measured on the same basis. Why 700 mg and 100 mg are not comparable
What is amla?
Amla is the fruit of Phyllanthus emblica, also called amalaki or Indian gooseberry. Marcapa Amalaki is the whole freeze-dried fruit, milled, at 1,000 mg per two-capsule serving. Amla extracts are commonly standardized to a tannin or β-glucogallin percentage; this is the fruit.
Where are Marcapa supplements made?
All three formulas are produced at a single facility in Lamphun, northern Thailand, and encapsulated and sealed there rather than shipped loose and repacked. Marcapa, LLC is based in Missoula, Montana. Botanicals arrive from nearby partner farms and go into the dryer the same day they are picked.
What testing is done on each batch?
Every batch is screened in the factory's own laboratory for pesticides, heavy metals and microbial contaminants before it enters the freeze-drying system. Separately, one production lot of our black ginger was assayed by MS Bioanalytical, an independent US laboratory, at 11.8 mg of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone per gram — 8.3 mg in a 700 mg serving. That figure covers 5,7-dimethoxyflavone alone and describes one lot, not every batch. What the assay covers and what it doesn't
