Maca Root: What is it, what does it do?

You can use Maca anytime during the program. It's a cruciferous, radish-family root and is touted for chronic fatigue, blood building, stamina, and female hormonal issues, and yes, it does have the amorous intrigue factor. Femminessence is our favorite and most effective one for women and you can find it at Whole Foods or online here. There are 13 different phenotypes (colors) of maca. Yellow maca root is great for women, and black maca root is great for men.

Maca is something you should cycle (on 4-6 weeks, then off 3 weeks). Then as your GI tract and immune system improves, you should need less and less, because your body will be able to retain the hormonal balance the maca gives by supporting your pituitary gland. As your health improves, your need for things will decrease, but maca is a good, periodic go-to for energy, stamina, and thyroid health supplement.
