    Default Has anyone had any benefts from taking maca??

    I have been taking maca for the last two months. Looking at the nutrional content, it seems to be very high in nutrients. I have not had the "increased sexual desire" as many claim it will do. I have seen that it has decreased my bloating and pms symptoms to zilch. I would like to know if anyone else has benefited from taking maca, and if so how?

    Hey Miss

    I have been getting some from whole foods now for a few months. they sell a pre-powdered raw form. (though I think its best to buy it and ferment it yourself, but I havent done that yet)

    Anyway, I definitely get benefits from it.

    First off,, more energy. Though as I have alot of energy on my diet already that is a lil hard to pinpoint the extent of the energy lift, but there is some i think.

    The thing I have noticed though, *blushes*, is that it makes me REALLY horny lol.

    No joke. As a healthy man I am used to waking up with a certain friend present at times lol, but since I have taken the maca root there is a definite increase in that and the level of hormone i think. Just ask my wife!

    So keep on taking it! As long as your overall diet is adequete with vits/ minerals and the like you should get a definite benefit from it. It started making me extra horny after about the 2nd week of taking it.

    OK...now that I have embarrased myself.....

    GodBless

    How much should you take, and how often? I just bought some. Do I take it every day? Or 2 weeks before PMS symptoms start? I would love to know... I was wondering if you took it daily, would it lose its effectiveness?

    Yes. I used it regularly and stopped 6 months ago and over last three months my breast soreness during my cycle has returned with vengence. SO I went back to it. Libido on maca...
