A minimum of 2500 mg.=
one teaspoon raw, 1/2 teaspoon of gelatinized powder
and five-500mg raw capsules or 3 gelatinized capsules
is needed to maintain the effects of maca on a daily
basis.
To jump start the Master Glands,
double the maintance suggestion. Maca is a food
and does not have restrictions to size of dose nor
are there any known negative side effects.
These are suggestions that have shown
to be most effective. Two to three teaspoons-taken
half in the morning and other half again in the
afternoon to start. If you don’t notice a
difference you may need more till you feel the effect.
The beneficial effects
of Maca accumulate with use, and very often the
amount of MACA required to maintain a healthy state
of balance decreases over time.
Men respond best when taken intentionally
over a one - two week span.
Men are encouraged to add
zinc to their diet. Men's bodies tend to convert
progesterone it makes into estrogen, zinc prevents
this. Minimum zinc is 15mg. Most men get enough
zinc in there diet as a baked potato has typically
45 mg.
 How
do I take MACA LIVE™
Powder?
The powder may be mixed in water,
or almost any other beverage, and is excellent with
apple juice. MACA LIVE™
mixed in protein drinks is an excellent tasting
drink and ideal just before athletic activity. It
is good with apple sauce and yogurt. A favorite
is mixed in a protein drink and adding a banana
or other fruit.
A special treat is to mix your favorite
nut butters and raw honey: 2 parts nut butter to
one part honey and one part maca. Get creative,
just don't heat over 110 degrees or refrigerate
unless you are using the Gelatinized maca.
Maca is a food and may be taken with
or without a meal. Those using MACA find that the
most convenient time to take it is in the morning
when they wake up. We suggest taking either
all at once or in divided amounts. Because Maca
does have an energizing effect, we suggest taking
it before 8: 00 pm. in order to avoid loosing sleep.
It does not disturb your sleep like caffeine does,
it simply energizes you so that you don't feel tired.
Body builders and athletes perform
much better when taking MACA one hour before exercising.
Increased stamina and energy has been noted frequently.
Allowing MACA to build in the body improves the
overall effects. Being consistent and taking MACA
daily for several weeks amazes people. Energy and
stamina improve dramatically with continued use.
Read the How To Use Maca
section for more information and ideas.
What About Side Effects?
________________________
There are no known side effects with
Maca. Occasionally a woman may develop breast tenderness
– this is simply a signal to reduce the amount
of MACA being used. It is also not advisable to
take Maca late at night, as this may create energy,
and keep you from getting a restful nights sleep.
Men report increased stimulation if taken late at
night.
What Other Changes
Can I Expect While Using MACA LIVE™?
Men and women report increased energy
levels, increased ability to function under
stress, and increased
libido. Women report
a decrease in the problems associated with PMS,
menopause and peri-menopause. Men report increased
libido function and stamina . A man's sexual appetite
& potency increases with continued use as does
a women's.
Women experiencing irregular menses associated with
peri-menopause usually experience changes in their
periods such as fewer cramps, a gradual decrease
in bleeding and fatigue. These effects accumulate
with prolonged use of MACA. Hormones
How Effective Is It As An Aphrodisiac?
Maca's ability to act as an aphrodisiac
is becoming more well known world wide. Maca nurtures
the hormonal system establishing a healthy hormonal
balance naturally. Recent studies have indicated
that the reason for the libido enhancing effect
of Maca is due to isocyanothides
and fatty acids.
Many people are considering a return to plant-based
supplements and much discussion is heard about the
wonderful effects herbs generally have on the human
body as opposed to the side effects commonly found
in pharmaceutical drugs.
Research shows that Maca increases
sperm count and semen volume, and may improve both
erectile and ovarian function. Dr. Chacon,
discovered the four alkaloids
present in Maca that are responsible for its reputed
positive effects on these hormonal issues. Those
who have added Maca to their diet claim a significant
increase in libido, enhanced sexual function and
desire.
Men and women throughout the world
take Maca on a regular basis to enhance their sexual
desire and performance as well as to increase their
energy levels.

Sexual Enhancer section.
What About Using MACA For Fertility?
MACA has been used for centuries in
South America for fertility. In the United States
men and women who have had difficulty conceiving
are beginning to report pregnancies after using
maca. We recommend both partners (male/female)
to be using Maca while working on conception.
Women usually stop taking maca when pregnancy is
discovered and resume Maca if they are breast-feeding
to support milk production.
It is important to remember that
maca is NOT a hormone.
MACA is a food that nourishes the hormonal system
to maintain optimal balance and health, and works
by stimulating the Hypothalamus & Pituitary
Glands to help balance the Endocrine Glands.
MACA was originally studied by Dr. Chacon because
of it’s ability to ward off malnutrition in
the poorer regions of Peru. Maca is especially
high in calcium and magnesium and has proven to
be successful in promoting healthy bone formation.
