chattyb - I don't know the answers to all your questions, but in terms of when you take maca you can take it right through your cycle but should stop taking when you get a BFP as there's not enough research about safety during pregnancy. I found taking it with food helped, and I would take one with breakfast and one with lunch. It's not advisable to take in the evenings as it might have a bit of a stimulant effect and have an impact on your sleeping. I think I took 500mg tablets - starting with 1 a day and then increasing gradually to 3-4 a day. I haven't heard of them having different strength ratios. I'm not sure if you can take with soy too, but hopefully one of the others will be able to advise on that. Good luck xx
