  • Great for regulating period!!!!!!!
Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
Let me start by saying that I've NEVER had a normal cycle...I first started taking BC in high school because I'd only have a period every 3-4 months and it would be super heavy and painful. The BC worked for a while, then in college my hormones changed and I started spotting the week before my period--so 2 out of 4 weeks every month of dealing with PMS and the associated migraines was not fun. After I decided that I didn't need the birth-control portion of the pill, I decided to quit taking it and see what happened. I'd also tried this in college once with the same result--no period for months. This time I went over 6 months before finally going to the doctor to get a rx (provera) to induce my period. After taking the provera every other month, my body still wasn't adjusting to being on its own and wasn't having anything close to a normal cycle; in fact I'd even started spotting some while taking the provera too. I had read about Maca months before and had ordered some but stuck it on a shelf and never really took it consistently. It had interested me not only because of the reproductive benefits, but also because of the energy and mood boost claims. I finally researched how much I should take to be effective and took it consistently for a few months. I ended up taking six pills (3000mg) per day. I don't mind taking pills, so this wasn't a big deal and it was convenient to carry. After I took it for a few days at that dosage, I could definitely feel a slight energy boost. I'd been sluggish and just unmotivated at work, and this definitely helped me become more focused. I did notice the first few times I took it that soon after, I would need to go to the bathroom. No terrible stomach pain like some reviews claim, but just a need to go #2; which I didn't mind the extra help, since I don't always eat enough fiber anyways. I first started taking it a few weeks after one of my provera-induced periods; so in the middle of my induced "cycle". The day I should have gotten my period (using a standard 28 days after last period), I could have sworn I had some slight spotting, but then didn't have any bleeding the next day. So I kept taking the Maca for the energy benefits, and induced another period the next month, and made sure to take the Maca almost every day after that induced period. I had glanced at a calendar and knew when day 28 was coming, but I was completely shocked when I actually started spotting that day....and even continued bleeding the next few days. I am absolutely convinced that the Maca was the cause, and would definitely recommend it!!!!! If you're like me, and have suffered for years from hormonal issues (including really bad hormonal migraines several times a month while on and off the pill), Maca is definitely worth a try. The only thing it didn't really help me with was libido; mine is still as low as it's always been. Maybe if I continue to take it, that will get better as well. Just make sure you take at least 3000 mg. ... show more

  • They work, but don't expect miracles
Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought this based on all the reviews I read saying it will improve your sex drive, but I didn't notice that effect. Nonetheless, I have continued taking them daily for the last 6 months. PRO: This may be TMI, so sorry, but it's pertinent. It seems to have regulated my periods. I have always had irregular periods in regards to length of period, length in between periods, and heaviness of flow. Now my periods are once per month and last about 4-5 days with regular to heavy bleeding. That is a huge improvement as they are more predictable and easier to handle. PRO: At first I noticed quite a large difference in my level of energy which lasted about 4 months. I took them every morning, but they didn't help me to wake up like caffeine does. The difference in energy was more gradual and subtle throughout the day. CON: It may take a couple weeks of use to actually feel that boost in energy. Nowadays, I don't feel like the energy effect has worn off somewhat. I feel sluggish and brain-dead often - but take this with a grain of salt because I don't get enough sleep. Perhaps I need to increase my dosage or take them throughout the day again. Neither PRO/CON: Taking Maca at night is a bad idea because it will keep you awake - or at least it kept me awake. I have not taken it at night for months so I don't know if that effect has worn off as well. CON: It has not improved my sex drive whatsoever. This is extremely disappointing. It seems to have helped a lot of people in this area but obviously it doesn't work for everyone. CON: These are more effective if taken about 3 times a day (a dose of about 2 pills 3x per day). This is a negative for me because that is a lot of pills and I don't remember to take them with me or to take more during the day. Plus that costs a bit of money. I don't mind swallowing pills fortunately, but if you do, this will be a big con for you. PRO: If you do take them several times per day, you will notice a difference in your energy and be able to cut caffeine out of your diet (with a lot of effort and withdraws of course). That has been my goal, but I've only achieved using caffeine less often, not completely going without it. Still, this is a pro for me. Conclusion: I recommend at least trying this for one month. Take them daily and pay attention to the changes in your body to see if they work for you. It took about 3 months to regulate my period and about 2 weeks to increase my energy level. These must be taken regularly in order to work properly. I recommend taking these throughout the day for the greatest effect on your energy level. Don't expect miracles though because the effects are generally subtle, but worth it for me. I still take these daily and plan to continue doing so because I notice decreased energy when I don't take them. ... show more

  • A small nudge, not a miracle
Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
Easy to take, gentle on the stomach, and simple to keep in the routine. If you’re stacking small, healthy habits, this plays nice. Effects are subtle rather than cinematic. If you expect fireworks, you’ll be underwhelmed; if you want a low-key assist, it’s fine.
