I could really feel it working somewhere around the prostrate. It felt like stimulation of some sort. If I remember right, 1-2 tsp/day seemed right.
Most maca is a mix of gold, black and red roots in that order just because they grow more in that order. Black and yellow or gold roots have different effects but they all are the same in terms of libido, semen except red, not as strong and black and gold. Maca also is more based on the extract ratio and the supplier out of Peru not so much as the color or the root. My philosophy is if you find a good maca that works for you at about 3tsp/day or less stay with it.1HP-so how's the maca monster?
For me it didn't taste the best, but it was very potent. It's probably the best for what ever maca does to the reproductive system
Now since nobody replied about the Black Maca... I think it might be the most androgenic. I notice that my body odor in the pits get REAL STRONG if I take over a tbs/day. It reminds me of a teenage boy who hasn't started using deoderant yet. So I think it might be changing my body chemistry.
It could be all in my head, but it seems like women seem "extra interested" when I'm taking maca-expecially the black.
I've got an order of the yellow and maca monster comming so I can give those a try again.
Can you explain the differences between the yellow, black and red?
Bitter?
its all going to be the same color, the only difference is the outside color of the root, pure black maca is more bitter and less nutty tasting. Most maca taste kinda like roasted soy beans. Also even the maca sold as gold/yellow is a mix of gold/black/red, they all grow from the same plant, there isnt no just black or yellow producing maca plants.The maca monster is white/slightly yellow. It's quite a bit stronger then other maca's I've tried but then again, since I buy it by the kilo I've also been taking more of it. Its effects are very strong @ ~15 grams a day which is about the highest I went, it has more benefits then pure libido, you simply feel awesome and very relaxed/cheerfull. I absolutely hate the taste, also very hard to mask mixing it in your shakes. I cap it these days, but you have to take a lot of caps
15g is alot of maca, you shouldnt need over 2 tsp's a day or else you dont have a good maca. I mean all maca works at 15g a day.The maca monster is white/slightly yellow.

Not too bitter really. It's more of a very strong vegetable flavor that hangs around. Beet-like and loaded with phytochemical after tones with a bouquet of cabbages that have been at the bottom of a dumpster for the month of July.
the reason I ask is that I had toyed with making a Whipped nougat Maca-type candy bar.
Anyone know?
Yesssssss.
With maca it's like the more you take the more you notice it. I take 2 times ~2.5 grams a day normally of monster maca, the 15 grams is kinda cool though
A good guess-timate is about 5 grams per teaspoon. Some dry goods are more and some are less. So, about 10 (5 grams) would be a teaspoon, give or take a couple capsules.
Ken goes through a kilo in a month, so he takes like 30 grams a day lol
yeah the more you take the better it is, its a whole food product. I respond to about 1tsp a day or more, I take maca every am in yogurt, 3/4 tsp. When I take over 1tsp/day I get larger loads, but im on DTH. I get my Maca straight from Peru.With maca it's like the more you take the more you notice it.

yeah there's something to Maca which is why its in my test boosters. Its a good adaptogen something like Rhodiola's effects on the HTPA and CNS, just no huge increase in endurance.
1 tsp of maca is usually something like 1.5 to 2g. I will check when I get home. If is a med. size now capsule its prob. 500mg. Good maca works at 2g or less a day. But all maca will work at a certain dose, just might have to take up to 10g or more of some maca. Its a food. Some extracts of maca will actually make you aggressive if you take 2 much.
Oh my goodness what pathetic post (above). Be careful what you write might come back to haunt you
Monster maca problem - smells revolting. The lid and seal are tightly closed in my kitchen and it still smells bad.
I found a 4:1 maca extract that lists it at about 4 grams per teaspoon. You use gelatinized maca, which might be lighter? Either way, NOW maca is full-spectrum, I believe, which probably means you'd need more than the extracts.
extracts and gelentanized is actually denser.
I wasn't sure about the gelatinized(?) ones, but makes sense.
