Maca how long does it take to kick in?

[Stanfoo]

Generally how long does it take for the effects of Maca (taking it for libido) to kick in? I'm on day 8 with no effects yet. (4500mg black maca from TheMacaTeam ED)

It looks like this study using 1.5-3g/day noted effects at 8 weeks, but not 4:

But this study using 2g of a 5:1 Maca extract (equivalent to 10g Maca powder) saw benefits at 2 weeks:

Perhaps it starts working faster when used at a higher dose?

I use NOW 6:1 and noticed it at around 1.5-2 weeks. Fully at 2.5

What did you notice exactly? I tried normal maca at 1 heaping tablespoon a day and all I got was upset stomach and killer farts

I use the pill form not powder. And if we are being honest libido was just through the roof. Harder erections too. No intestinal issues for me but I've never tried powder. Use the pill form with my PCTs

I’ve been using 6 grams (8 capsules) of Organic Premium Peruvian Maca from The Maca Team and I noticed a huge boost in libido after only 2 weeks. I’ve been on it for 6 weeks now (I take 8 capsule as soon as I wake up) and the effects are very noticeable. I went with this companies Maca because it is a blend of Red, Yellow, and Black maca. I highly recommend it

i've used black maca tincture from themacateam. the energizing effects start within a day or 2. the libido effects start after a week.

I tried Maca Now Foods in the past, 5gr, definitely an increase in semen ... I have to try again!

Maca nothing, but Mucuna Pruriens which worked well.
