Yes, there isn't any one substance that is good for everyone. Everyone has a different constitution and will react differently. If there are bad reaction, then listen to your body and your intuition if it is not right for you

I was hoping it wasn't the maca but it just had to be. I did/took/ate nothing differently. To be more specific it felt like it gave me a buzz then I crashed and felt very tired. I stopped the maca yesterday and already feel better.

It is also virtually impossible to take too much, but like any food that you have never eaten before, can react in your body a certain number of ways.... mostly stomach issues, or gas issues. I have never heard of it making anyone tired or depressed, it is widely seen as an energy giving food. Perhaps it's not the maca? |

I take the planetary herbals brand that is 500 mg per tab. I started out taking about three of those a day at first because it takes awhile to get into your system. At nine months of taking this stuff I can get away with one 500 mg tab a day without any return of problems. I want to experiment with completely going off but I am scared!
I saw almost immediate results. My neverending AF stopped right away and my cycle became about 28 days after about two months.
I had to really play with the dosage at first to see what it took to make my neverending AF stop.
I did get some PMS symptoms at first. I had tender breasts and irritability but it sure beat bleeding for weeks straight and having 38 day cycles! These side effects did go away after a few weeks. I also learned to take my pill (s) at night so as to avoid any nausea that they sometimes caused.
Give it a try but in the end only your body will know what works for it. Good Luck!!!
