Iam taking Maca for weight gain (since I do chemo every day) and am a very thin person I lost a lot of weight due to the meds.
I am taking Mmaca for 4 weeks now, started with 500 mg the first 2 weeks and increased to 1g on the second week. I gained 4 kg so far ( last time I checked was 1 week ago) which is pretty amazing for someone who doenst ever gain weight. I also noticed increased breat size and increased (and rounded) butt. Face has goten fuller too. I like Maca so far but it wasnt easy at the beginning. The first time I took it my brain felt fuzzy and I was having a drug like experince (something like opening the third eye) but this was only on day 1. Oon day 2 it was less and on day 4 it was completely gone. I believe this was because my body was not balanced and was “detoxing” and “atuning” in a new way. Once the side effects where gone I got agressive behaviour for the 1 week, again on week 2 this behaviour was completely gone. I really do believe that Maca helps cleanse egative emotion but it takes time for the body to adjust. On week 4 I have no major side effects, I do get a little bit of heart burn and very hungry (Maca increases appetite a lot!) and sometimes a little dificult breathing but this could be related to my underlying condition.
This is my experience so far.
