NOW Foods Supplements, Maca (Lepidium meyenii) 500 mg, For Men and Women, Reproductive Health*, 100 Veg Capsules

Great for regulating period!!!!!!!
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.

I feel like I’ve been in a generally good mood since I’ve …
I wanted to take this to balance my hormones. I feel like I’ve been in a generally good mood since I’ve been taking it for a month. The most dramatic effect I’ve noticed is that it has completely curbed my sugar cravings and thus I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not eating sugar that I’m not having dips in energy, but I no longer absolutely need a nap during the day, and my brain fog has disappeared. However the weird thing is that my breasts and butt have gotten a little shapelier even as I lost weight (but I’m naturally a good size, 125). Now you may think it’s all in my head, but there can be a box of donuts in front of me, and I will take one bite and not have the slightest interest in taking another bite. That is just plain weird for someone with intense sugar cravings. I wanted to stop eating sugar for so long because the brain fog was ruining my life. I feel like i’m “eating to live” now since I gauge when I’m hungry on when I’m getting irritable from not eating. I take two pills in the morning and one at night.The only downside I found is that I usually feel pretty bad when I’m near the end of my three month cycle on the Depo shot. But this month I felt absolutely awful. I have never been nauseous before and I felt nauseous for two days straight.. I can’t say it’s the Maca, but I think it is. Anyway, won’t be stopping this product because it’s life changing for me.My boyfriend started taking this too, just at night. I wanted him to take it because it’s packed with nutrients, and good for prostate health. Well I noticed after a while the difference between when he takes it or not because he wakes up in the middle of the night “ready to go” if you know what I mean lol.

I am taking 2 capsules in breakfast and 2 in dinner. total 2000 mg in a day. have been taking this since a month now. could see the results only after 3rd week. I feel better in gym. i feel better hung down under. my erections are more firm and volume is also more, my morning woods are amazing and also spontaneous erections can be seen very often.Could not see a single side effect till now, capsules taste and size is acceptable.this has certainly changed my life.Could not see any change in my Skin as mentioned by others for glowing skin after use, may be after some time i will see it. My weight is normal i mean i have not gained due to use of this. guys who has said their waist size increased due to Maca seems incorrect.definitely recommended to all guys as an nutritional supplement and not prescription !definitely i am going to try other Now Foods Supplements as well.Will post more after sometime!
