• Maca Benefits
Have you tried Maca?
Dear can it help with virginal dryness. Am 25 years
@@clairenabukeera3851 I've only seen it studied with sexual dysfunction in women who are post menopausal.
I’ve been using it for a year now. I take 1 tbsp 2X daily or 1 tbsp mixed with ashwanganda. Works wonders at age 60 and post menopausal. It’s made a world of difference! Simply amazing! I take yellow Macca gelatinized. Thanks
@@clairenabukeera3851It definitely worked for me along with vitex/chaste tree berry and ashwanganda. Also. Pueraria Muerifica works great too! I’ve found some gems 💎 after thinking it was all over and done ✅ it’s not. Take care.
@shukuru2 ..thanks for this
Where do u buy from and what does it help with specifically pls?
Makes lotsa sense. My mood, sleep, sex drive and period quality has improved like crazy since taking them with my evening hot cocoa an hour before bed. Thanks for the info. 🙏
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience with this herb ❤️
Which brand do you use?
How much Maca do you take in your drink? Does it not keep you awake at night?
Which one do u take please ?
Do you take it through the whole 28 day cycle? Or do you only take it during follicular, or literal phase?
I started using Maca 14 years ago and it has made my transition to menopause easy.
Does it make one gain weight?
@@syedamahira12 yes. I gained 12 kg of muscles. so if you don't wanna be strong, Stay away from Mac'a
I started 1 tbs of maca in my smoothie back in the day and I swear I got pregnant immediately with my son. I also use it to increase my libido and keep my skin clear.
Which one dear ,black red or black ??
@user-hq1zn1qp6g it's light brown or tan powder.
Very helpful with decreasing hot flashes.🔥
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Yes! I was trying everything. I saw reduction in intensity and frequency within 24Hrs!
Agreed
Which one? Black or which?
Which one pls? Help
I’ve been taking it for about 2weeks and I went from 100 to a 109 in so happy because being a 35 year old and being able to keep on weight or look like a woman is so diminishing. I have way more libido and energy all around. I will say that you should take this with food. If you have stomach sensitivity, start off slow but it will fill you out the best way.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Maca!
Which one do u take pls?
Is it used to gain weight?
@@syedamahira12right I’m confused too😂
@@msflygurl3760 😀
Thank you for the information, and I especially love how the video looks like. Real crisp and clean
Thanks for watching!
Hey Jessica, I bought Maca powder from a natural eco supermarket and I read it works with increasing libido. I am pretty young and am struggling with my lípido. I am taking birth control pills though. Is it safe for me to take and how much would you recommend (daily/weekly). That’s honestly my only struggle rn. THANK YOU!❤️
Thank you for informing
you're welcome, thanks for watching
Is it safe to take maca with low blood pressure? I would like to take an adaptogen that doesn't lower BP or make me feel agitated. (Since my burnout I have chronic fatigue and anxiety, and my BP is often too low, usually during my period and when I'm more stressed/overwhelmed.) Thank you for your help! 🌷
Thank you
you're welcome thanks for watching
When I take it, sometimes, I get emotional like almost crying...
Thanks a lot ❤❤❤
You’re welcome thanks for watching ❤️
Good information
I mix my black Maca in my Matcha tea w/lil cacao mmmm mmmmm goooood. 🥰
Sounds like a good combo! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I take black maca before gym to up my energy level
if studies suggest to that individuals should Maca take for four month period, what do you do after that time frame? Do you need to take a break from it before restarting it again?
As a practitioner it’s never my goal to have someone on a supplement for forever. I’m trying to correct the underlying issue and using the supplements as a bridge, while we make the necessary lifestyle changes as well. If I’m concerned about long term use I’ll do testing (like testing hormone levels or other blood work) or use symptoms as a guide to adjust the dosage or duration. I’ll use studies as a guide but in many cases there just are not long term studies done on long term efficacy and safety. After 3 or 4 months (depending on the intervention) I’m generally looking to reevaluate with the client and make any necessary changes.
Has anyone used cordyceps and noticed a difference ?
I have a video about cordyceps, perhaps someone in the comments there can chime in with their experience. th-cam.com/video/93dVCZFUZiI/w-d-xo.html
Can maca loose weight andr good for hormone imbalance?
it can help balance hormones, which in turn can help with weight loss
I heard Maca assists in weight gain as well as targeted gains in booty etc… I currently fast 20:4 everyday for clarity and weight loss. My issue is, I am interested in Maca to help with my libido (which is non-existent) but I do not want my weight loss to be impacted..
Maca on its own will not cause weight gain. You need to be in a calorie surplus. It also cannot cause targeted gains in any area, that can only come with targeted resistance training along with appropriate protein intake. Maca can help with muscle recovery after workouts.
Hows that libido going for ya?? Btw prolonged fasting is known to cause sex drive issues as the body goes into a catabolic state.
Libido is still shit. 😂 Still fasting but no longer doing rolling 72 hr fasts.
Eh, at least I’ve got other stuff goin for me I suppose
@@JessicaNortonNDI read that Maca, as an adaptogen with phytoestrogens, can enlarge breasts by up to 2 sizes... is it true? :)
Wonderful i love it
thanks for watching!
I was taking it for menstrual cramps but it thru my high sex drive thru the roof. Not good
😂😂
Can black maca increase breast size ?
this video can help answer that question th-cam.com/video/hOAjOBYpiE4/w-d-xo.html
Hey, Jessica! I looked at some gelatinized maca root powder products online, and I see that a majority of them have cancer warnings. Any advice or insight to ease the fear of consuming maca root?
Depending on where the Maca is sourced it can have higher levels of heavy metals thus the warning. I look for brands that do heavy metal testing and other quality checks. The powder I linked in the description is one such brand.
It definitely made me more aggressive, and helps with ED for sure. 😂
What is ED son?
Is there a specific brand and dosage you use?
Omg maca is the best !!!
It’s a great herb!
Maca root capsules which company good
Company name plz 🙏
Cap
@@MaddTurna what WHY tell uss
have a green powdered one
The green is matcha
Can women with fibroids use maca
I would not recommend it for women with fibroids
@@JessicaNortonNDMay I ask why? Is it due to increase in estrogen? I have a very small one but would like to start taking Maca to increase libido. What would you advise?
@@ebonipeddie1139 yes because Maca has been shown to increase estrogen production I would not recommend this to a patient/client with fibroids as it could make symptoms worse.
Are any of the maca roots (black, red or yellow) safe to take if you have fibroids? My doctors are not able to help me increase my libido although my blood work shows everything is normal.
It is not an herb I would recommend for someone with fibroids
Research how to reduce fibroids. I no longer have them. I changed my diet. Good luck.
Do you have a brand you would recommend?
yep, check out the links in the description box, they are brands I use in my practice
Thank you!
Which brand maca is safe to use?
I’ve left a few links in the description of brands I like
Tried it today for the first time. Seems a little like caffine.
How should a person use Maca powder? Can you use it in your food or use it in your water?
Adding it to a smoothie is usually easy
Can I use, almost 80, and on blood pressure meds
Have low ferritin on iron fatigue
sounds like it could be a good choice, but because I don't know your full health history I always say check with your doc!
Ovaries and uterus removed except cervix, but Im on HRT can I use maca?
Would depend on your history and why the the removal was necessary I would definitely recommend taking to your doc before starting ❤️
what is the best type of maca for getting pregnant.i want to get pregnant and want to try drinking mac
both red and yellow maca have been studied for their effects on fertility.
Can I use maca roots and clomid together
this is not something I would recommend. If you are taking clomid please talk with your doc before adding additional supplements
Pharmaceutical chemist
I’ve been using maca root for two months now, and have noticed no changes in anything. Made by Pattern Wellness, 20:1 extract, tri-color blend. Disappointed.
We’re can I get it in Nigeria I really need this ooo
not sure
What about with hyperthyroid? Thanks
Maca is more stimulating herb which is not something i would generally recommend with hyperthyroidism
I have severe endometriosis.Is it safe to use maca?
@@djavolaki I wouldn’t recommend it
Does it cause you to gain weight! I’m trying to lose.
Can i use the yellow for high prolactin?
I’ve not seen any studies on it being effective on changing prolactin levels
Which maca color is recommended?
I discuss the different colors in the video
Can I help gain weight
I don't see it helping anymore than going into a calorie surplus.
I got the yellow maca... Will that help with menopause symptoms?
Yellow will still help with hormone modulation
@@JessicaNortonND wonderful, thank you for answering 🌹 Is there a different color powder that would be better for hormones or is the yellow sufficient?
@@SimplySurrender The yellow is sufficient in my clinical experience. I will say that there has been more research on the red being using for hormones but from what I’ve seen in the research the difference in constituents is minimal. If you already have the yellow I would say give it a trial…if you are not seeing any changes consider trying the red next. I hope this helps!
@@JessicaNortonND Thank you!!😊
Would this be something to avoid if you have endometriosis and hashimoto?
I would not recommend it in the case of endometriosis
@@JessicaNortonND thank you!
@@JessicaNortonND can you explain why you don't recommend for endometriosis?
Can Maca be used to decrease vaginal dryness. If so, how much is taken as a powder in smoothies or coffee?
hmm...because some studies show it changing hormones levels, it is possible that it can help with dryness. Check out this article, where they talk about dosages used in their study. I've not used it clinically for this purpose.
Meissner HO, Kapczynski W, Mscisz A, Lutomski J. Use of gelatinized maca (lepidium peruvianum) in early postmenopausal women. Int J Biomed Sci. 2005;1(1):33-45.
Were can a buy Maca
From ?
I have a link in the description box
I'm a 30 year old female. Can I take maca?
depends on your history and what you are trying to correct. I always recommend you check with your doctor/provider
I want macca butt enhancement pills,how will I get them???
Can’t help ya with that one
Can it help you get pregnant or regularlate your period?
for some it can help to regulate cycles and in turn that helps with fertility, but it depends on the root cause of the irregular periods.
Made my very regular period irregular. I’m trying to see how I can use without impacting my period
@@ujubanton2047 thanks for sharing, goes to show it really can effect your hormones
I started using maca roots and I saw my period can I still continue using it to increase my chances of having a baby
Or can I stop it since I have seen my period
if you have an irregular cycle this would be something to chat with your health care provider with.
I’m scared I’ll gain weight 😢
Maca is superb...works like viagra without the risk of having a heart attack.
thanks for sharing your experience
@@JessicaNortonND Cheers Jessica for posting this video.
Which one do u use pls?.brand etc
Doesn’t do anything for me.
🙏🙏🙏
Ok. She knows nothing about Maca.
