How Much MACA LIVE™
Do I Need?
One to two full teaspoons of
powder daily. 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 four teaspoons-take half in the morning and
other half again in the afternoon to start.
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.
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 caffine 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.
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 suppliments 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.

the 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.
