    Maca Powder

    Hi,
    Has anyone had any TTC success stories using Maca Powder?

    I've been researching and came across an article that recommends introducing Maca Powder into my diet.

    If you do/did use Maca Powder how would you recommend taking it? I've been googling "maca root powder recipes" and only coming across liquid suggestions. Food/Meal suggestions would be useful.

    I took Macca root powder when TTC #2 as my cycles were all over the place. I didn't need to take it for long as we conceived first go.

    Nai,
    If you don't mind me asking, how did you take it?
    What affects did you feel from it?
    Thanks

    I got it from the health food shop in a powdered form that I added to juice and drank. Apart from the shudders and grimaces when having to drink it I didn't really notice any effects. I felt good while I was taking it so that might have been an effect - I felt really full of energy.

    I took Maca capsules for a long while when TTC DS2 gave me heaps of energy, can't say it exactly helped with conceiving though i think that was attributed to a good healthy diet and a detox supplement i was taking for six months prior. That website i referred you to Charliebrowngirl is where i used to buy the capsules from and they participate in the fair trade scheme where they help the local farmers who grow it.... check it out very interesting what they talk about with the product!

    DANNIIM,
    Thank you so much! I ordered the CAP and trying to sync my O'ing with the Lunar Phase. The eBook I got with the CAP talks about Maca Powder.
    So happy that you recommended the website
