Maca root or Menevit?

[Beatrix]

Does anyone know much about these?

I know Maca root has

Maca contains significant
amounts of amino acids, complex carbohydrates,
vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E and minerals,
including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium
and iron. Maca is a totally natural herb which has
been traditionally used by those wanting to increase
sexuality and increase energy.


and

Menevit

Each Menevit capsule contains:
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 100mg
Zinc (as zinc sulphate monohydrate) 25mg
d-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) 400iu
Folic Acid 500mcg
Lycopene 6mg
Garlic oil (equiv. allium sativum bulb fresh 1g) 333mcg
Selenium (as selenomethionine) 26mcg


should you take one or the other or would both be ok?

DH and I both took preconception tablets, folate and maca last time. So I'd say both. I'm off to get some maca today, but in our newfound spirit of ''whatever happens happens'' he's not taking it, lol.

I take vitamins and maca (when I remember). DH takes a general multivitamin sometimes. He was taking Menevit but a bloodtest came back with elevated zinc levels which can be detrimental, so he stopped taking them. I recommend getting a baseline preconception bloodtest done. The key thing us to make sure vitamin ratios are right.

DH won't do blood test he absolutely hates needles!!

Our FS got DH started on menevit a few months before our IVF cycle, it improved his sperm motility (not a great deal, but every little bit helps) so can say that we are menevit fans,
Dont know much about the maca root
