Organic Maca Root Capsules 1200 mg – Libido Booster for Women Fast Acting & Potent | Aphrodisiac Supplement | Energy Pills from Peru | Includes Black Pepper for High Absorption | Vegan, 120 Ct

Let me preface my review by saying that I work as a medical editor for a pharmaceutical company, and I grew up with 2 parents who (mistakenly) thought vitamins would solve all of their health problems. Essentially, I am a skeptic. I believe in good nutrition through healthy eating and tend to only take multivitamins, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids. All that being said, I should take better care of my physical and mental health. I'm 53, and my husband recently told me that we needed to make some changes because he needed sex more often than once every 3 months (no exaggeration). But honestly, I haven't had it in me - I've been tired and disinterested. After fertility treatments to conceive our son, followed by a bad experience with a hormone-releasing IUD that led to a 30-lb weight gain, pain during sex, and horrific PMS, I wanted to be there for my husband but felt completely depleted. Throw in perimenopausal hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and a pandemic that wiped every date night off my calendar, and I was done. But with renewed urgency, I started doing some reading and decided to investigate women's health natural remedies - kept seeing that maca and fenugreek were being recommended. So last week, I purchased this product and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0812CQL28/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and I began taking both about 5 days ago. Since I started them at the same time, I can't pinpoint which benefits I can ascribe to which supplement or if it's a snowball effect, but WOW. I take both of these supplements around dinner time, and even if I'm feeling tired by bedtime, by the time we're both in bed, the intensity of my desire for sex overtakes my fatigue. And unlike how I've felt for the last 10 years, I'm not eager for it to be over. The past two nights, after about 45 minutes of, um, satisfying mutual activity, I've gone on for another half hour of self gratification. All of this is not a rush like you'd get from an energy drink so it doesn't feel like a caffeine stimulant - the feeling is more reminiscent of my natural urges in my 20s and 30s. Over the past 5 days, I've also noticed increased natural lubrication that gives me a psychological boost, and the overall experience has helped me sleep better and stay motivated to stick with my diet and exercise plan. I feel like I've been given a gift of 20 years shaved off my age and a new spark for my marriage. Needless to say, I'll be adding this product to my subscription orders!

On day 3 started first day with one just to see how I would react. Did fine was more alert throughout the day. Taking the recommended dose of 2 a day does what I'm sure most of us bought it for, Libido booster. Works great without any bad side effects.

Good stuff

I chose the organic Maca root supplement because I was seeking a natural remedy to help balance my hormones and alleviate challenging mental and emotional PMS symptoms. After reading great reviews of the Go With The Flow blend from Happy Healthy Hippie, but still feeling unsure whether I was ready for all of the ingredients, I chose to try the Maca in combination with some other supplements, as Maca is one of the main ingredients in the Go With the Flow blend, and I had read some helpful articles saying that Maca could help with female hormonal balance. I have also struggled a lot with depression and anxiety, and I hoped to find a safe daily regimen of vitamins and supplements that could support my overall mental health. I feel really happy with the results so far! I honestly do not know how much of this success to attribute to the Maca, as I am taking it only in 1/2 the recommended dose, and began several other supplements at the same time (in fractions of their recommended doses). This was primarily to save money and to see how my body would do. I am happy to report that mental and emotional challenges have felt greatly reduced during my premenstrual phases as well as in general! I feel more energy, and I feel my overall mental health improving. For reference, I am also supplementing daily with a multivitamin (Country Life Core Women’s Daily), & in the beginning I also added 1/2 dose of B-complex supplement during my premenstrual phase (Igennus brand), due to being vegetarian and feeling pretty sure that I was low on B vitamins (and reading in particular how B6 can help with mental and emotional PMS symptoms, and B12 is so important for mental health). I’ve also been taking algae oil daily (Iwi, then Freshfield, vegan sustainable sources of the same Omega 3’s found in fish oil), Turmeric (Organic India, 1/4 - 1/2 recommended dose, after learning that Turmeric can also help with depression), and now Vitamin D (started with 10,000 IU/day for 1 month to address a deficiency, then settled in at 2,500 IU/day). In the beginning, I was also supplementing with a daily protein shake made with organic sprouted brown rice protein (Unpretentious Baker brand), organic pea protein (Namanna brand), and Amazing Grass greens powder supplement (chocolate flavor is really yummy with banana blended in!). I have never spent this much money on vitamins and supplements before, but the health returns I am experiencing are worth it to me! I tried to research each supplement in terms of sustainability, relevance and value, and tried to buy in bulk to keep costs down. Thank you and I hope this helps someone out there! 💖

Llevo una semana usandolas y no siento nada fuera de lo comun espero con el tiempo ver los resultados

I took these pills for about 3 weeks. At first I could tell a big difference in the intimacy department but on the second weeks I began to notice my stomach was hurting a lot. I had diarrhea, nausea, massive stomach pain. It got so bad I went to the ER. We all thought I had a virus but when the symptoms continued after 5 days, I began to think it was due to the combination of my morning medications. I decided to stop taking these pills but continued with my morning meds. I was literally back to my old self the very next day; no pain whatsoever. Then I decided I will not take my meds and will only take 1 instead of 2 to figure out if these pills were the culprit. Well that day the terrible stomach pains returned with a vengeance. I was back to eating soups, crackers and teas just to try to ease the pain. My stomach is so irritated I'm afraid to try another pill like this not to mention the ridiculous ER bill I now have due to these pills. Who knows what sort of damage these pills caused my system.
