    Anyone had experiance with Maca?

    So my Endo wants to put me on "Maca" to try and stimulate T production. It's an herbal root derived from Peru, and is used to ramp up the Male sex drive.

    Has anyone here ever used it? Is it pretty tolerable? It seems more low risk at the moment that taking any specific hormone, and I have read pretty good things about it so far.

    I'm not currently on HRT or TRT but I have low T from taking an Anti Androgenand am trying to get my hormonal cycle back in correct order.

    Can't hurt. I never noticed many benefits from it but that is already being on TRT and using it. Or maybe it is doing stuff and I just don't know.....will know when I run out since I don't plan on getting more. I take 3000mg per day. At that dosage raised my BP a bit but nothing too bad.

    If it did fix you up, it's cheap. So go for it.

    I believe there's a study or two that says it may increase HPTA performance a bit but nothing significant.

    You'd be better off taking 5000 to 10000 units of D3 as it been reported to increase androgen levels by as much as 25%...kid you not.

    Will the pill form of D3 suffice?

    Well I just got my Maca today and will start taking 3000mg a day. I might also try a few sessions of acupuncture to try and balance my hormonal pathways. My bloodwork states my body SHOULD be able to make T on its own, but isn't.

    I want to take D3, but I haven't had my bloodtest yet to measure my levels. I took only 2000 IU of D3 for about 3 days a few weeks ago, and I had severe abdominal cramps and constipation. Not sure if this is common...

    I have also read that taking too much D3 can make you toxic. Any truth to this, or any experiences on here with that problem?
