    Maca users,how long does it take for it to work?


    I`m on day 3 and haven`t felt anything libido-wise.

    I`m just tired in the evening,and that`s all.

    It's not really something that you feel right away, if at all. Some people report increased sex drive but nothing insane

    Personally only thing it does for me is makes me cum fast ( seriously) I hate the stuff

    I notice it pretty quickly (day or two of use 2-3 X per day). Works decently well.

    When supplementing with raw ayverdic medicine or raw herbs and such, you wont necessarily feel or see results for at least a decent lapse of time. This of course all depends on other variables such as supplement quality, dosage, frequency of dose, rate of absorption when taken on empty stomach versus with a meal, your body weight, and your rate of metabolizing the supplement and your tolerance. Maca helps with many ailments reproductive and adrenal, some functions are improved with a few weeks, and some take regular usage over an extended period of time.

    Just to say this:
    I am terribly fatigued and nauseated from this maca at this dose.

    But....I have been doing bloodwork this morning and my test levels came back at 469 ng/dl/.
    I have had low test all my life,constantly from 280-300,whenever I did blood work for the past 5 years.

    So I don`t know what the **** is going on here....
    Maybe the test is bunk.

    I`ll do another one total T in a few more days but I have split the maca dose in half,as of today,I can`t stand how ****ty it makes me feel.

    That's too bad, Maca actually makes me feel pretty good and I take it before workouts sometimes.

    It definitely works,as I`ve said,it boosted my test from 300 to 470.

    It`s just that I felt like ****,fatigued and depressed,and with no libido(when using maximum dose)

    Don`t know,maybe some other hormone was elevated that made me feel like that.

    Seeing as how your test is moderate but you are still supplementing , you could have just shut down your own production and your estrogen levels could be neck and neck. You might wanna try taking a good estrogen blocker like letrozole and picking up on t3/t4 to get your energy back.

    Yes, its very good for circulation and natural energy so there is definitely an underlying issue for his lack of energy and such not related to the maca.

    Fatigued and depressed is a weird side to report. When I do a maca run, you gotta go raw, the caps won't do it. 2TBS for maintenance and three for fun Space evenly 1 morning, 1 lunch, 1 night if 3 TBS/day. I noticed a difference after one day as I started to have more night time emissions, energy was more consistent, and my balls felt like they were being massaged all day --> best feeling in the world

    I havent felt depressed on maca...angry/agitated sometimes, but mostly horny as all get out. Even bulk non-extracted herb works for me.
