I had a quick question about Maca Root, I had asked a herbalist and she asked whether I wanted black, red/purple, or a mix? I presume red/purple because it apparently contains female hormones? Or is there a particular brand/extract that would be best?
On FAQs, it only describes "Maca" but makes no specification.
I think I have a cocktail regime put together, but won't get into it here as to avoid going too far off topic.

Do you have a program thread to make comments on?

I don't have a thread yet, cant start one after work.
Read through that link, maca in general is an adaptogen and provides hormone balancing properties, but looks like yellow/brown is best suited? Or am I reading into that wrong?

I gather the herbalist was showing their prowess lol. Ask them which is the rarest, the answer is the red (and holds the highest antioxidants). Yellow is most common, but the question is where it's from, quality of how it's processed, and what your goal is on using it, (protein source?, libido, etc).

LOTUS is correct. Red Maca is the best one. I've been taking it since last year. POM

Thank you for helping clarify. Any particular brand/dosage that's recommended?
I just started an NBE Diary/Program Thread ---->

L.A,
That's a great program, I am impressed on the choice of HCG for following reasons:
HCG treatment increased the testicular secretion of DHEA and T fivefold, Δ4A threefold, E1 sixfold, and E2 eightfold in normal men. In the single subject with an atrophic testis who received HCG, the spermatic venous concentrations of androgens and estrogens were much less than in normal men similarly treated. We conclude that: (a) E1 is secreted by the human testis, but testicular secretion of E1 accounts for less than 5% of E1 production in normal men; (b) HCG stimulation produces increases in spermatic venous estrogens equal to or greater than the changes in androgens, including testosterone; and © strikingly decreased secretion of androgen and estrogen by unilateral atrophic human tests cannot be appreciated by analyses of peripheral steroid concentrations.
Although I would verify the product, the FDA has put out a warning on it.
