Timing

TIME AND DOSAGE

Maca is deeply nourishing and supportive of your body.

​

This means it takes time to receive the full benefits. It takes about three months to feel the full effects.

​

Taking it for just a week or even a month will most likely not yield the benefits you are looking for.

​

It's very important to take the full dosage of maca each day. Skipping lots of days or only taking a small amount of maca is not going to get you the results you desire.

​

While the dosages we use may seem higher than other brands, this is because we know the importance of getting enough of the beneficial compounds to have a therapeutic effect.

​

The vast majority of maca products and the dosage they recommend do not supply adequate amounts of macamides and other important compounds. 

​

Don't sell your health short; take the right dose for the right amount of time and experience the full benefits that this incredible plant has to offer!
