Hi ladies!
To anyone who is taking the powdered maca root, what do you mix it with? I am having a hard time stomaching the taste of it alone and I have not found anything that will mix with it well so it has been sitting up in my cabinet until I find something that can mix with it well.. |
I always have mixed mine with orange juice or fruit juice. I open the capsule and pour the powder in a cup then add orange juice or any kind of fruit juice and mix it up and drink it. |
If you open up the capsules to add it to your drinks why don't you just buy the loose powder? It's way cheaper than the capsules.

Quick check-in: I haven't measured or anything but I can definitely tell my boobs are getting fuller. They normally feel big like this prior to my period but that's not coming soon so I know it's the Maca! I started poppin the pills  (2 x 500mg a day) on Dec. 1st so that means in 2 weeks I've started seeing some results. Not getting ahead of myself but definitely glad! I just need ways to up my appetite because I'm not as hungry anymore. I bought some EAS whey protein to have in between meals so I'll start that this week. Hopefully I can find recipes to make other foods with it because I tried to drink a shake + fruit and it was bearable but noooo thanks. Anyway, good luck ladies!

I just personally prefer the capsules.

Just a word of advice for the new ladies...
Its so hard to stick with something when your not seeing results i understand. The decision is up to you how long you should take them, nobody else.. Ima tell u why
Some women say take herbs for at least 3 months, some say 6 honestly nobody knows cuz everyone is different..
I gained an inch in my belly with gelantinized maca after a month..i was gettin criticized cuz i stopped "too soon". But who wouldnt if they was in my shoes. I stayed bloated The whole time and it gave me backfat! I never had backfat before! Didn't help with boobs butt thighs nothing.
how ima go from negative results to positive.. when u takin a herb and u gettin negative side effects its gnna get worse not better so sometimes i dont agree with give it some time.
Yes you can take peoples advice into consideration but you have to do whats best for you
When i get my maca if i feel like it was worth it by the end of the month I will continue.
If i dont feel that way I'ma stop...sometimes u gotta take your own advice, nobody don't know your body better than you. Just listen to your body and follow your gutt...
Dont let anybody in this forum make u feel bad for u making a decision..about your own body.
Also, taking more mgs of a herb, isn't going to give you faster results.. I've noticed a lot of women doing that lately these herbs take time to get in your system. I've seen some women take 5,000mg of maca, aguaje, etc.. For example I saw a girl start off with 5,000mg of aguaje, but she couldn't keep up with it. So she lowered the dosage and it slowed down her results
just remember what you feed in your put thats what its going to expect.. so if you start at a higher dosage then try to lower it, your body might not respond to lower dosages anymore.
From reading this thread (not finished yet)
Some women experience results at the begginning then it stops...And Some women see results later on.. all I'm saying is I haven't seen anyone get a significant amount of growth in a short amount of time, those are rare cases... |
Thanks for the advice. I may stop after I'm done with my bottle or just take it 2 times or less a week. Since posting I did measure again and looks like I gained 1/2 an inch. But I did start taking creatine with my protein shakes after workouts this week so could just be water gain.
It's the anxiety that I simply cannot take because I have problems with that to begin with and one day it got so bad I was having mini anxiety attacks every few hours. It is an energy booster and since caffeine has similar effects (just not as bad) it is probably that that's causing it. I read saw palmetto is a downer not upper so I may try that too instead.

I had a week break from maca but I'm back now to this challenge. I have enough for another 13 days. I restarted today the fish oil booty (I was on my period and I dislike sleeping with tampons - sorry for the tmi) and I thought I should finish my maca with it, before I jump into something else.
I am lifting more every day since it doesn't challenge me after a day or two doing squats with a certain weight (I am now lifting 82lbs but will increase to 100lbs by NYE) and my butt seems smaller! The muscles are harder but the size increase seems to be zero. I haven't measured myself in a week and will do so this week.
After I finish my maca, if I see no growth even with the fish oil, I will start on apetamin; some girl gained 30lbs in two months and if I gain only 10lbs it would for sure increase my butt size! I always gain or lose weight right on my boobs and butt!

Is it ok to take saw palmetto while taking red clover? Different time of the day though. I ordered saw palmetto and red clover and Im not sure if i can tae one while im taking the other one. I was thinking about finishing one bottle first then moving on to the next. Im not sure which one to take first though. Which one do you think would work better with boob growth red clover or saw palmetto?

I actually do have the loose powder.. I just can't stomach the taste alone so I was needing suggestions on things to mix it with.. I bought orange juice today so I will see how that goes.. Thanks for the suggestions.
