Was your tubes blocked?
If you have anxiety or panic attacks, take it. It is the only thing that helps me. I have been using it to manage my anxiety for 10 years.
Wow! I actually felet it effect my mood very positively! 🙌💗☘️
Wow
@RaidedMurda22 I use the NOW Foods Maca capsules, 750mg. I am not sure what color it is, does not specify but it looks yellow/light brown.
@RaidedMurda22 Just one unless my axniety is really bad, I take two. I only use them as I need them so I don't take them daily. You feel the effects within 30 minutes. One thing to note is that your hunger may increase. Mine does from maca so make sure you don't overeat!
PLEASE don't tell others with anxiety to take something just because it worked for you. Are you a physician and you don't know how it'll affect them everybody is different. This is dangerous to advice.
I've been taking maca root ever since my mono recovery and dealing with chronic fatigue. It's been a game changer and helps me stay focused and energetic! Thank you maca

Yea you’re right, he’s very charming, he would make a fantastic Cult Leader
@@lavendertownwotc6819 🤣🤣🤣
Lololol
Thank you so very much for explaining and clarifying all this for us. You are wonderful!💞
Oh wow! I was looking for ingredients for different smoothies and I was curious what maca root is and was so happy to see it helps with Menopause!!!
I love how Dr. Axe gives examples how he consumes or uses the supplements.
I incorporated Maca into my diet a few weeks ago and have taken 1 tsp almost daily in a latte or smoothie. I’ve noticed an increase in my stamina and energy levels. If I’m not well hydrated or if I’m on an empty stomach then the Maca has some side effects for me like heartburn, jittery feeling, and/or a slight stomach pain. Sometimes I only do 1/2 tsp and that’s nice too!!! Yellow Maca powder from Peru is what I use.
Edit: it seems to boost my mood
It's suppose to be gelatinized in order to be absorbed by your intestines. Most powders are raw so you have to cook it. Then take it. Then voila, no stomach pains. Unless you have ulcers.
try taking the capsulated ones instead the powder ones have a side effect like that.
So, I was started taking maca root with other supplements I got from one of your videos about male fertility where your guess recommended a smoothie with maca root powder, goji berries, cacao nibs etc. After making this smoothie for a month now, I started to notice other benefits. I started to gain the hair that I was loosing. I was literally going bald at 33. I noticed last week that my hair is coming and I like it. Thanks for your help.
Did it really help your hair?
Are you still bald headed?
Excellent video! Very informative... Thank you.
Amazing info Dr, Axe! Maca is super beneficial!
Always love Dr. Axe. His advice is very very resourceful and it works!!!!!!!!! He's the best advice.
Thank you for this lesson! 👍
Best Dr on RUclips thank you 🙂
Maca root is one of the many tools i use in my smoothies every day. Taken daily alongside Ashwagandha is excellent for mens health.
How much do you take at your weight per day?
Love hearing your videos because you make me happy.
Question: What is the daily dosage when combining Maca and Moringa ?
I don't know what it does, I just like the way it makes my oatmeal taste. I also add powdered MCT oil, stevia, blueberries, and a bunch of hemp, flax, and chia seeds. Breakfast of champions. I also take lion's mane and cordyceps mushroom extracts as well as kratom in the AM. I don't always get as much sleep as I'd like to but that morning regiment keeps my brain and body pretty sharp to start the day with plenty of energy and focus.
My husband and I have been taking Maca root for a year. We were trying to conceive. It's had amazing benefits. We haven't conceived yet but out fingers are crossed!
I think you may also need other supplements like certain types of vitamin B. And some herbs for men and some herbs for women. If you check Dr axe website I think he has other information for improving fertility for both men & women. All the best to you.
@@lilyrosesoul0077 thank you so much! I truly appreciate it.
My lady made me take this. Currently, things are happening.
use elevit multivitamins for women and menevit by elevit for men..its really helpful..thanks

Thank you for this information. Blessings
Thank you. After a while, it stopped the deterioration of my bone density.
Wonderful ❤️
Does it heal bones that are already in decline?
I put it my smoothy along with other awesome things. I'm feeling sharp & just over all good today too!
I love Maca! I put maca powder in my morning shake. Tastes great & gives me some energy that lasts all day. I have CFS so I’m always looking for something to give me a boost. So far this is the only thing that works for me. Love it.
Try moringa powder too, also gives you explosive energy..
Chronic fatigue syndrome. Lmmfao😂
@@JAYTEAM187if you had this, Myalgic Encephamyelitis, there’s no way in hell you’d laugh. I was an athlete at the top of my game, my professional and social lives also, and this cursed illness killed all those things.
Yeah tastes like a combination of peanuts and walnut shell.
Thank you Dr. Axe. I love watching your videos☺

Hey Josh, this is what I take: Maca Powder, Ginseng Capsules, L-Theanine, L-Carnitine, Zinc, and L-Cirtruline Malate, and Vitamin C - this combination is really powerful and cheap!!!
In 2 weeks I will start taking maca with Citrulline. What do you think of this combination to improve erections? Thank you.
Are you taking Ascorbic acid or vit c 😬
thanks for your great information and advice. Best Dr. channel to subscribe
Thank you for sharing I will try
I've used maca for the past month alongside synergy super greens and knocking booze on the head and i feel incredible from it!
Awesome oncurrently on that journey
Do you know what the cycle is for 400mg x3 tablets twice a day?
Thank you for the video! I came across a lady talking about maca powder at a Mother’s market and she said the amount you take depends on your height. If you’re petite you should take 1/3 of a teaspoon of maca. Is this correct? They were very particular about the amount taken.
Thank you!
This really works it calms me down instantly.
You're the best😍😍 Thank you for making this videos❤️❤️
I’m living the energy maca root is giving thank for this !!!
I started using this and I love it. During this covid crap it helped me stop craving food. It’s awesome
This is encouraging. I keep reading comments from people who all say they gain weight from it and it increases their appetite. I've read a few articles on how it could aid in weight loss as it can balance blood sugar/insulin levels. But I'm so nervous about it causing weight gain. I wanted to use it to help me with monthly cramps and to have more energy and to help my mood. I took it years ago, but don't remember it causing weight gain back then.
@@OnederfulHealing was you get the instructions about how it used it
Hello 👋🏻 Thank you for the valuable information Dr. Axe
Thank Dr Axe. I'm definitely going to try this in my diet. I believe I do have some hormonal issue because when I first had my menstrual cycle at 12 and my age increased I realized I had irregular irregular menstrual cycle. When I visted my Gyn she recommend birth control to help regulate but it only made me feel sick qnd gained weight so I decided that it wasn't for me. So I began eating health but my weight began to fluctuate. Now I find something something I pray to God works to help me balance my hormone. I'll be reading more of your articles and also researching more. I'm more into natural ways of living that taking pills.
I heard taking aloe Vera pills work?
Natural Melanin Beauty did Maca Root work for you?
@@karlisgray it seem to have been working for me.
Ok.Thanks. blessings to you!
Thank you for the short by beneficial information on maca. I've seen it in many smoothie recipes but wasn't sure why it was useful. (Better to be informed instead of just following the crowd.) Thanks again.
On a particularly strong psilocibin trip I was "told" by the plant to start taking maca. I had somewhat peripherally known about it from my interest in plant medicine but had no idea at the time what it did or how it would benefit, literally it was just the "trip" telling me to take it.
I've been taking it for ten years now and completely benefitted me in so many ways, anxiety, energy, it really is a superfood. There's some research indicating that Chacon variety is the purest and most effective but it's nearly impossible to find. Most of whats available is the meyenii variety. I guess the colors seem to also matter but I never tried to specifically buy black or red or yellow, I assume what I get is a mixture of all but there's places where you should read up if you have specific benefits in mind. For some reason, I always get VERY VIVID dreams when taking it as well. Haven't heard much from the lucid dreaming community on it but you may want to give it a shot.
Ancient superfoods still making people better thousands of years later. Nature is awesome!
Thanks for sharing
Dr. Axe, hello!!! Your videos are always so great, I have a question, what color of Maca is best for woman to take? The red, black or white?
Thank you
Thanks very informative going to look into it more.
Agree! I put in my breakfast coffee protein collagen drink every single morning along with turmeric powder and coconut oil. Then top with bee pollen and a cup of aloe Vera juice and a cup of fresh berries. Love taking care of my health/body/mind. Love your channel!
Wow that's one amazing combo
Holy moly you may fly like superman.🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙄🙄🙄
I thought I was the only one who used all this. Except I make chai tea, add maca, advocado oil, turmeric, black pepper, guarana seed powder, and more. (17 total ingrediants)
tbh that sounds super gross
Wow I have a very similar drink as I’m reading this. Coffee with cinnamon, collagen, maca powder, bee pollen, turmeric, but then i also put chocolate, banana, and vanilla flavored almond milk, a scoop of vegan butter and some chia seeds
Another amazing video! I can't believe it is a vegetable
Great information, thx you !
Thank you for the information.
Thx so much I’m on day 2 of taking this 1 t spoon a day to start would love to share our journeys I’m healthy eating xx
I mix Macca root, Siberian ginseng and Guarana powder together and make a tea = super energy!
Maca is a life-changer. I have more energy in my late 30's than I had in my 20's now.
black or white?
What color do you use?
Tnx dr I like ur all helth tips 👌
thanks for the video, i would like to know if Maca is good for hair loss and for DHT ? thank you
I definitely have experience the increase in my libido. Love maca root!
Does it make your body smell?

Does it make a difference which color of the maca? I read elsewhere that yellow maca is more suitable for women while black maca is more suitable for men
@Default Name NOW MACA

Cool thanks and blessings to you Dr. Axe
Very informative. Thanks
I love you, Doctor Axe you have inspired me to practice Herbal medicine thank you 💜
😂😂😂😂
@ShanequaAustin how's ur Herbal medicine going
I do chia pudding with coconut milk turmeric cinnamon ginger red maca and black maca spirulina chlorella moringa beet root powder pink salt honey berries banana and nuts. Followed by capsules of chaga and reishi mushrooms, with eleuthero, rhodiola, and tulsi tincture. 💪 ive kicked coffee, beer, animal products, and preservatives I cant pronounce. and whipped myself into shape, farming all hours of the day. Feeling much less stress with a large workload. Just do it, yall! 🌻🕸💛
Interesting subject; worth trying. Are there any known side effects ?🌷
Very informative. Thank Dr.Axe!
Maca flour also physically acts like gluten so one can make quinoa tortillas with a bit of it added in. Good for those of us who don't eat wheat or corn.
Great suggestion. Thanks!!!
Hey Dr. Axe, can you do a benefits of Tribulus ?
Thanks Dr Axe you are the best, were can I buy Maca root? the real thing please.
Excellent! Learned about while spending much time in S.A. I buy Maca only from Peru.
There is Maca root & there is gelatinized Maca root which is said to be the type recommended for for people with thyroid conditions, so you may have to think about which type is right for you.
As a heads up I take raw maca root and I'm totally fine. About 10-15% of people have weak stomachs and can't handle it at all. Gelatinized maca can be a lifesaver for those people. For most people it will not matter at all which one you choose, although I tend to steer clear from extracts of anything.
Same with me, I take 1000-2000mg raw Maca per day and I suffer from chronic constipation. Its a lifesaver at making me regular!
Love your videos! Can you make one on natural flavors?
+SnowboardYogaGirl Thanks for your recommendation.
Thanks Dr
I've noticed the capsules have helped manage anxiety recently, now I'm taking gelatinized version and it's giving me a real energy boost
We're do you get them
Friend does maca help you with your erection? Thank you.
@@comandotech1 difficult to say, it depends on the person I suppose because not everyone erection problems stem from the same reason. For me it gave me an energy boost but it also calmed down my anxiety a little which is what could have helped me. I would say try for yourself though, hope this helps

Hello Dr Axe! First of all, thank you for your videos, I love your channel.
I have a question about maca. I have PMS and started to take primrose oil and it helped a lot, I was very excited about the results. So recently I found out about maca root and started taking about a teaspoon everyday to help my hormones. And this month I just skipped a period, which is very odd because it has never happened before. Is it due to maca root or maybe other causes? Should I stop taking it? Thank you very much!
I have skipped my period as well. I am also wondering if its due to taking maca root and not sure if I should stop taking it. Have you continued taking it ?
Thanks for the information

Is Macca root safe to incorporate into a family's diet or is it only for people over 30?
Hello, and thank you Dr for your very informative advice and opinions.
Hi Dr Axe! I did try to take Maca powder in my smoothies but I don't like the taste. Can you please recommend good company who makes Maca capsules.
Really helps my mental health

Hello @dr. Josh Axe what about the benefits of Red Raspberry tea?
Im going to try this too!
Dr. Axe, your videos are very helpful, but, I really wish you would address for senior women who had a total hystorectomy 20 years ago. I suffer from depression, many herniated disc, dry eyes, dry everything & hair loss. Also I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1993. So many problems! I live on a very small fixed income so buying lots of supplements is out of the question. I have followed you & Jordan for several years. I'm at my wits end! Can you help??? 😩
Try incorporating kalonji seeds AKA Nigella Sativa in your diet. They helped me so much
Dr. Axe definitely has something against words ending with the letter "t".

Excellent info - thank you sooooo much for your work Dr. Axe.
Thanks Dr brilliant can you send more 👍
If maca root is a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli and cabbage then it probably has the same or more amount of phytochemicals such as diindolylmethane and works as a natural aromatase inhibitor to decrease excess estrogen in both sexes.
Agree that sounds like a win win!
