Anyone here take Maca root?

[xMillie]

Hey ladies,

After ttc over 6years we’ve pretty much tried everything, but Maca is one thing we never have tried..

My last cycle was a bit whacky, I was over a week late and I never had anything like my normal period. So I’m hoping it doesn’t mess things up further if I start taking it.

Is powder or capsules best?
And anyone have any information on how much to take and when?

Thanks x

Hey Millie,
I have recently just bought Maca Powder, i tried it once in a glass of orange juice and i actually puked it straight back up. It taste revolting!

My OH now puts it in he's protein shake every morning (1 heaped tablespoon) and doesn't really mind it, i haven't used it since but if i don't get my bfp this cycle i will be buying the capsules so i can take them instead of the powder.

I found a board on a different website of ladies that had been using the capsules and not sure if it was a coincidence or not but quite a few ladies fell pregnant quite quickly after they started taking it.
If you are interested in reading the board let me know and i will try and find it again for you. x

Ah so it’s not very nice in powder form even in juice? I think I’d go for capsules too.

I’d be interested in seeing that board if you can find it again.

Thanks Char xx

No it’s absolutely revolting in juice. Not sure whether I maybe put too much in my juice but I would definitely go for the capsules. Atleast the powder didn’t go to waste because my OH is using it. Try and get organic capsules too.

Here is the link to the board I was reading. It’s 25 pages but I really enjoyed seeing the ladies get their bfp and their journey.
