Maca root helps balance our hormones and due to an over abundance of environmental estrogens, most people’s hormones are a bit out of whack. Maca stimulates and nourishes the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which are the “master glands” of the body. These glands actually regulate the other glands, so when in balance they can bring balance to the adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, ovarian and testicular glands.
Wonderful. What benifits have you noticed?
A huge increase in libido and energy.
Wow, good to know. I've been meaning to try it!
Oh you can't go wrong with it.. Lol
I have some in order. I'm hoping for an energy increase.
Oh yeah. I partly attribute my son's conception to Maca. It.... Works.
It does. I noticed a change.
I didn't realize it would be so fast. I've only added a half a tablespoon to my smoothies for a few days now.
What brand are you using?
this is what I purchased from amazon
Thank you
I woke up with a zit on my face I kid you not! This stuff is crazy! Lol I haven't had a zit in many years. I'm 43 lol
What brand do you use?
I posted a pic in an above comment
Where u get it.
Amazon
Ok
Does it have any flavor in your smoothies?
Yes, but it's pleasant.
May I ask what you put in your smoothies then? Lol
I use chocolate protein powder. It blends very well with the chocolate. I love the taste.
Awesome! As do I!
To me it tastes like corn and I like it but it's so hard to dissolve!
Would it help with hormonal sweats
Menopause
Oh don't know why the shoe is there lol
I bet it would help with menopause. Might reverse it somewhat. Natural progesterone cream might help you as well.
I've read that Peruvian women don't go through menopause until way later than American women do. Could be the maca? Maybe ?
It's amazing. I love. Maca
what kind of benefits have you seen?
More energy and a high libido
Is this okay to take while breastfeeding??
Alyssa is there a daily dose you recommend?
And a brand?
Probably capsules. I don't have a smoothie every morning... Just a few times a week
Thanks Alyssa

It is awesome! Watch out of u could get pregnant though!
Can this help woth anxiety? Safe while breastfeeding?
It's great for anxiety because it's an adaption and I've heard it's safe while breastfeeding but if I were you I would look into that further.
Thank you!

I have PCOS, so yes!

Can you take it while breastfeeding?
I've read that you can, yes.
I was trying to research HOW it works, but information on that seems scarce. Seems to be a mystery! But I found this: Chris Kilham, author of Hot Plants, says, "Maca enjoys a very long history of successful medicinal use for menopausal discomfort, infertility, and sexual healing. The question is not whether it works -- because we know it works with certainty -- but how it works."
Encouraging information for those who suffer!
It sure does work for me and it works so fast! I was feeling a bit flat in the sex department and needed an energy boost and it definitely helps a lot with both!
Jennifer Watson I'm happy for you that you found this! Hopefully your post will help many others!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. How much are you adding to your smoothies?
I've been adding about 1/2 tablespoon which is more than it says on the package but since it's just a root vegetable there's no harm in getting extra. Lol
Thank you! X
Sounds like just what I need.
Interesting. Its high in vitaminc. I read if you add water and make a paste that its excellent for your face as well
