I have experienced pretty much all the effects that you describe, both positive and negative, so I think it is indeed the maca causing those effects. I also notice subtle cognitive effects. Anyway, I also seem to be sensitive to low doses, so I think the approach you recommend makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, you might give it a break and then start back very light and build up. I’ve found that there is a fine line between the right amount and too much for me. It’s a powerful herb, especially if you’re sensitive to it. A little may go a long way for you. And certainly run it past your naturopath if you’re having side effects.

My naturopath put me on Maca . I’ve been feeling anxious for two days and wondered if it was the herb. I’ll take a break now that I’ve read this. I am a woman with low testosterone, in her forties and noticed my muscles seemed like they were changing.
