My package of maca powder suggests going 3 weeks on, and 1 week off. It’s not meant to be taken continually over a long period.
Personally, I use it about once a week as part of my ‘variety is the spice of life’ routine. Perhaps, that is not enough to experience any benefit but, when I was taking it for a few days in a row once, I felt like it turned on my fat-storage hormones (could have just been in my head). I mainly add it to my smoothie when I need it to be extra filling.
