An in-depth Q&A is available on the use of South American herb maca for hormonal balancing. Some key points:
  • Amazingly enough, people sometimes experience a significant difference when they are taking maca even on the same day
  • Dr. Muller has numerous reports of women whose menstrual cramps have been lessened considerably. In all of these cases, women took only 2 capsules a day of certified organic maca root extract powder
  • Dr. Muller always get surprised when she sees changes happening quickly, but she shouldn’t be surprised...the original animal tests that were done on maca show a significant change in only 72 hours!
More detailed information on maca can be found at the Maca Q&A With Dr. Viana Muller.
