adverse reaction to macca?

[rawxanne]

has anyone ever had a negative reaction to macca? Im not sure I feel that great on it (maybe i took too much).
Im not sure if its the macca or everything else but i have stopped taking it for now.

Yes, I bought some thinking how great it was, and how it would help me...but it made me sick to my stomach each time I took it. It was extremely consistent so I knew that was it. So I passed it along to another friend. I'm using Vita Synergy for Women by Pure Synergy, and have been doing really well with it. (for balancing my female system)

Hi Freyabluebell,


For me, it was more of an instinctual repulsion. I tried it in several recipes, and found it made them unpalatable. I decided that perhaps I could do without a root powder flown 1000's of miles to reach me...;)

Adios,

Elena

yeah I felt really like I was 'on' something when I took it and agree it tastes and smells foul ~Lurches~:(
I did get the aphrodisiac affects from it (hugely) but it just didnt sit good with me and it made all my smoothies 'dis-gusting' ugh!

I too had problems with maca - namely excessive and offensive wind. Very embarrassing and also uncomfortable so I don't consume maca any more.

I never experienced any aphrodisiac effects - I doubt that I would have been very enticing to my husband with the above side effects!!!

WOW. There's another product thats works great for some but not for others. All the Vega meal replacement have it in them, maybe thats why they dont taste very good ? You can also get it in pill form but I havent tried it aside from once with Vega. Why do so many people rave about it then. I was thinking of using it to increase my love life= since being raw I have LOST my desire WHICH IS WEIRD for me ??????:confused:

I wonder if age is relative to the affect. In my early 50's and have had no negative affect. Can't really say much positive either as I don't really ingest a large amount or very frequently. Primarily put about a teaspoon or so in a banana, brazil nut, cocoa nib, agave, and dash of cinnamon smoothie here and there. When this supply is gone, probably won't bother restocking.
Raw is energizing by itself.

I am in my fifties and have a small teaspoonfull each morning. It has not done me any harm but I do not feel that it has done me any good either and I do not like the taste so I will not be purchasing any more.
