Has anyone experienced negative effects associated with organic maca root powder/supplement?
Last year (2023) I was convinced I suffered from PMDD as my hormones were out of control, I was raging and irritable, and wanted to regularly disappear from the world. It was awful. Anyway somehow this has all settled from early this year (Feb 24) and I just put it down to hormones taking a long time to settle after multiple pregnancies/breastfeeding hormones over the last few years.
at the time I was regularly taking maca powder and I have only realised a correlation today, as I had stopped taking it as got out of the habit and restarted it a week ago. Today I had the same experience as described above, and I thought wow I havent felt like this for so long whats changed? I am also 4 days away from period being due.
I suspect a hormone issue anyway as I have excessive hair growth in abnormal places and heavy periods (although regular).
Any thoughts or experiences welcome!
a lot of online information is positive for maca root. I was taking it for a source of iron and energy.
