Who has tried Maca?

Okay so I'm on cycle 15 ttc and I'm dragging my heels to go to the doctor. I'm afraid I'll just be told that they don't know what's wrong and pump me full of hormones. So in a last resort online study fest I came across Maca, a plant found in Peru that helps both female and male fertility. I also read it gets rid of pms, which if im not pregnant I might as well have easier periods. So I'm on day 6 of 500 -1000mg cd 13 and we will see. But anyone else has tried this let me know. If not I suggest looking into it. it seems almost to good to be true , but the info I have found seems legit.

both me and hubby are taking it! i have been taking it for a little over 2 weeks dont notice much but the first night after i took it i had a hard time going to sleep other then that i dont notice any thing.

my hubby is taking it to help with his low sperm count which im hoping in the new year to get another sa test done and hoping to hear great news. other then that i havnt noticed anything else

we both take 2 a day!

I red that people start taking it when quiting coffee because all the B vitamins give you the same surge of energy. I had the same thing happen. Best of luck to you.

I am giving it to my hubby to help with his low sperm count. it does not taste great (in powder form) so I am mixing it in his food to disguise the taste. I did not want to buy it in tablet from cos his list of vitamins is huge as is

does it work to mask it in food? or can you still taste it? the tablets seem to have a strong smell to them, didnt think you could mask it in pill form

it depends, I think tomatoes are the best disguise my DH cant smell a thing, I also add it to his coffee but he usually complains that it does not taste nice (but still drinks it). sprinkling it over fried eggs also worked quite a few times

My husband took the maca gold brand in a fruit smoothie every morning when I mixed it with enough fruit he said he could barely taste it.

thats a good idea i might have to give it a try, atleast then that will cut back on his pill intake lol
