I hope more research is done because I suffered forn21 years and took HRT for 8-10 yrs but eventually quit due to side effects. I did notice a slight increase in anxiety for first week but as long as I take it in morning I get used to it pretty quick. I found raw maca worse for anxiety tho, mistake gelatinised which is Cooked. Maca affects thyroid hormones so is not suitable if you have a thyroid condition altho at low doses it's fine and most has slightly more of the thyroid inducing chemical than other basics veg.

I became extremely ill after 2 months of taking 1/2 teaspoon maca daily that I would up in the emergency room with severe back pain near my kidneys.

My daughter took Maca (to gain weight in the buttocks) and even thought she's been on the birth control pill for 5 years she ended up pregnant. She was not trying to get pregnant. If you are using this and do not want to get pregnant, please know it will most likely make you pregnant even if you are taking birth control pills. She has decided to keep the baby although she was in her last year ... Show Full Comment

If you are using this and do not want to get pregnant, please know it will most likely make you pregnant even if you are taking birth control pills. She has decided to keep the baby although she was in her last year of college and wasn't prepared. I still call it a blessing. Nicknamed the soon to be member of the family "baby maca" :)

I starting taking Maca Root powder as my Acne was extremely bad on my Jaw line. Within a month of taking it my skin is clear. Additional to that I had a amazing sex drive with energy for days. Really something good to have.

I started taking Maca over a year ago due to horrendous hot flashes. Let' me tell you something it works! I have little to no hot flahes and it helps with other perimenopause/PMS symptoms as (mood swings, etc). Love this herb and I'm so glad I found. Can't live without it!
