Dargona discussed getting headaches from Maca and Isabelle advised that taking Maca to reduce headaches from pm will only worsen things. As far as I can tell, taking maca to eliminate headaches from pm has only worked for you.

Whoops! That will teach me to try to quote from memory! Apologies! (and to Isabelle for misquoting!)

Actually I'm also convinced that, aside from really helping with maintaining "male functionality", Maca also helps me keep my GID depression at bay.

Thank you for your advice. I learned more about the uses for maca. For right now I think it'll be simpler to reduce my pm dosage than add another herb to my regime.

One thing I forgot to say before. When I started on 3g/day, I found that if I took 2x500 3xday, I got really bad cramps around the kidneys.

I found that I could manage 1 x 500g 6xday as long as I left 3 hours between each one. So, for me, it takes about 3 hours to reduce down to the point where ill effects are no longer experienced.

Perhaps that's an alternative reason why I don't get the headaches? I had assumed it was the Maca, but maybe not.

How did you take yours? 2 x 3 or 1 x 6? If the former, why not try the latter?
