Hello
Maca has been around for centuries and from what I know It is taken regularly in Peru. I myself was born there but I was raised in Canada. When my oldest son got sick and started getting a headache that lasted him 2 weeks and the doctors here said they had to do more studies because they had ruled out migraines, a friend of the family recommended I speak to his uncle a renown naturalist in Peru. One of his recommendations was that I give my son Maca but not by itself he told me to make a drink of oats and quinua and add a little maca. That drink is how they have it back home.
