I've been taking Now brand Maca for almost two months [started out 1 a day, currently at 3 a day] and I can honestly say I don't feel it's "working" like it seemed to be when I first started. I even took a break [4 weeks on, 1 week off like some advised here]. When I first started popping the pills  I was more hungry, energized when I woke up and slept better. Now I feel the exact same before I started taking Maca. I haven't gained any weight/inches anywhere either. I read that this brand is usually hit or miss and so far - I'm missing. I plan on finishing the rest of my bottle before I try the Natrol brand. So hopefully I will see something happening after I increase my dosage to 4 a day! Also, start the first day of your cycle. I took mine in between cycles and it pushed my next one off for 2 weeks.

I'm soo happy yall after tryin 3 different brands i finally found somethin that worked! Oh yesss i did.
I got my period I haven't had 1 in two years! Lol let me explain.
I was pregnant..then after i had the baby i got on the depo shot..but i took a break and my period didn't return. I had some spotting once but that was it...And I was so worried cuz my period seemed like it could not come back on its own.
After a week of Natures way maca(2 daily) im on my period and I gained .5 in my booty! :-D And belly ;/
I now realize i cant eat too much junk while on maca..cuz it goes to my belly instantly lol. Hc shakes no bueno.
My whole life ive always had irregular periods it sucks cuz u never know when its coming..its a suprise everytime :-[ so I hth! i might be able to track my period one day!
@ babygurl congratz on your progress with maca...i wish it would help with my hips..we will see.
I've been thinkin about amerhmed however u spell it..mainly because 1 pill has alot of mgs..i think 2500mg? Anyways I would loove to take 1 pill and be done for the day
so when i finish natures way im gonna try it and if it dnt work..then its back to natures way!

Congrats! I am also taking the Nature's Way brand and I like it! I got good results.

Hi! I'm new to this forum. But I've been taking 500mg of both Maca Root (NOW brand) and Pueraria Mirifica for 7 days and have had: VERY strange dreams, cystic acne (the big painful pimples that leave really dark marks, ugh), gas and sleepiness. However, all of those unpleasant things have started to finally pass, yesss! Tea tree oil applied directly to the pimples helped a lot and there have not been any new ones. Also, I have gained 1 inch in the butt/hip (went from 31A-25-33 to 31A-25-34), my thighs have gained half of an inch so far also. Thanks for this forum, I love it!

^^^ I know its possible to have a child after your tubes have been tied cuz my cousin had her tubes tied but 10 years later they un tied (dunno if thats a word).
But they were burned off I don't think its possible, maca can't regrow organs..
uhh..tubes lol
