Maca root.

Hi Do any of you ladies take maca supplements? Are you finding that they are making a difference? I have heard good things but Id love to hear your thoughts. Also if you are taking them, are you taking anything else along side? Folic acid etc? Tia x

Hi OP, I drank a raw maca powder drink every day for the 3 months I was preparing for my second IVF cycle. The cycle was dramatically more successful than the first (currently 28 weeks with twins), and whilst I can't say this was exclusively down to the maca powder as I was doing a lot of other fertility boosting things as well, I can say that I've never felt so healthy as I did for those 3 months! Be warned though - it tastes absolutely disgusting 🤮

Oh wow, huge congratulations on your beautiful bundles! I'm excited to give it a try. I have just stopped taking my pill in order to ttc number 2. I would like my cycles back to normal ASAP. It took us quite a while to catch with dd and anything that I can try the help this one along is massively welcomed!
Should I take other supplements along side? I know maca doesn't have any folic acid in it so I might buy some to take as well. Have a great day mumma x

@mumabear123 thank you 😊

Yes you should take folic acid too. Along with the maca I was taking preconception vitamins (which contain folic acid) vitamin d spray, omega 3 capsules and spirulina powder.

Thank you very much for the advice... I'm off to the shops to buy some other supplements! Xxx
