Stopped it after five months. I'm surprised I lasted that long!
In the beginning it was giving me hot flashes with a boost of energy. I then proceeded to lower the dosage from 1.5 tsp to 1 and I didn't feel the flashes anymore.
I did not get the libido increase but my weight did go more towards my hips and some on my already big breasts, which I didn't need.
I was also getting more acne, fatigue and mood springs (I almost felt like hurting my FI
) before menstruation. These three symptoms were something that I thought would be regulated by the maca, but it didn't happen.
I did some research and found that some people were dealing with similar issues and they lowered their maca intake during the second half of their menstrual cycle. I did that, too, but it still wasn't enough to relieve my symptoms.
I tried to finish my first bag because I hate to waste my money but I knew I could not touch my second bag...which is still in its unopened Amazon box. If anybody who has had success with it wants it, PM me.
