I’ve tried the GNC 525 mg maca whole herb capsules for several months now, and I can definitely say that in regards to libido, this stuff can perform like viagara without the side effects! I’ve never had any of the side effects that any one is talking about, because like anything else, you take it in moderation to see how your body adjusts to it. At the most I’ve taken 2 in one day, and not at the same time. Usually, 1 is enough, but that’s also because I eat a fairly stable diet, without junk food, sodas, and sweets everyday.
You wouldn’t just plop 4 motrins in your mouth for the 1st time, because you woke up in the morning with a killer headache! That’s common sense. You gradually move into ANYTHING you ingest into your body. If you’ve never tasted mussels before, would you stuff 6 of them in your mouth to get the full effect? Of course not.
Maca is no different. I’m not saying people may not have reactions to maca, but I can assure you wouldn’t have the same 30 second paper long list of “serious” side effects on the prescription commercials. And if you do have an effect, you would’ve had to take an awful lot of maca to feel weird or completely abnormal. I don’t have problems with it. And as for a sexual enhancement, YES unequivocally it does give you that, very well.
