Organic Red Maca Root - 2000mg per Capsule - Peruvian Source - Gelatinized for Absorption - UK Manufactured - Pullulan (120 Capsule Pouch)

These capsules arrived quickly, well packaged, they are the real deal, easy to ingest, but I now break open 3 of them and pour the powder over my muesli because I love the sweet taste of maca, and swallowing the capsules means you don't taste it at all. Hard to know how many to take to make a difference, I was recommended to take 3 to 5 grams a day of red maca a day for menopausal vaginal dryness, which is a teaspoon, or 3 capsules. When these finish I may buy the powder instead as it might work out cheaper, and I like the taste. The important thing is that it is gelatinized so it's easier for body to digest. I have only been taking them a week so too soon to say if they are working, certainly no change yet. Nothing is a silver bullet and these natural remedies take time to work. But maca is a good all rounder for general health so looking at it as just another supplement rather than having great expectations. Will come back in 6 weeks and add to the review.

I started taking these for menopausal issues, bleeding and pain. I had been checked and cleared for endometrial cancer and the Provera the doctor prescribed didn't really ease the spotting 100%. So I thought I'd do some research and found out about Maca root. I started on yellow and noticed a difference but the spotting remained the same as on the Provera, so I did more research and finally read about the 3 (?) different types. The red being the one for hormonal problems I found this brand (I'm dairy and wheat intolerant) was safe for me. I noticed the bleeding ease completely after the first dose and I've been free of the symptoms since. I intend to be a repeat buyer, no looking back for me.I am NOT stating that you shouldn't visit the doctor for bleeding and pain, obviously that's a must in case of cancer.

I heard someone say this might help with premenstrual / menopausal symptoms so I snapped it up, given I have so many problems in that department. I have tried a lot of different things to no avail.However, this has definitely had a radical impact on my mood in that it is more balanced, less hot flushes, less breast discomfort, almost no cramping. I can’t believe it but nothing else has changed apart from me taking these supplements! I read that although clinical evidence is scarce, no one denies that maca is a superfood, so you can’t go wrong in trying it surely?!

This absolutely worked in boosting my energy and productivity and concentration AND libido, BUT I'm gutted i had to stop taking it as I started breaking out in painful large spots on my face. I found through my research that this is becasue of the way my hormones are set up leaning towards having more testosterone. FYI I'm female.

Can’t live without this stuff. It’s my sanity

I used these for a few months and i didn’t feel any difference of improvement regarding my health whatsoever. my appetite remained the same but my stomach was a bit upset whilst taking these.

Good quality and strength I would repurchase this brand very pleased

I bought it for menopause symptoms: low mood and hot flashes especially.It started working after about 8 days (2 capsules after lunch + 2 capsules after dinner) and it honestly felt like a miracle; from 25 /30 hot flashes per day, after 2 months I'm now down to 0. Zero. They are gone, completely!I also felt much more energetic and hopeful, like I didn't feel in a long time.And, I was very sceptical. But this really works. I'm genuinely grateful to this product, my life improved substantially.
