Hot flashes gone, mood improved!
This stuff is great.  I had tried other herbs to try to control my hot flashes, but they were not effective.  After Christmas I was getting more than 20 hot flashes a day, including night sweats. My nutritionist suggested red maca from The Maca Team.  She said it might take 2 to 3 weeks to have an effect.  I was skeptical, but thought I'd try it. I take 2 1/2 teaspoons a day in a smoothie.  Well, the flashes decreased at 2 1/2 weeks, and were GONE in just over 3 weeks!  What a blessing to wake up rested with no sweating.  The maca helps my mood--I feel so happy and more energetic. I also am writing all this music since the maca kicked in.  It's supporting my creativity beautifully.<br /><br />I started with the gelatinized, then tried the raw.  Both are effective, but I think the gelatinized gives me less gas, so I'm going back to that one. Tips for masking the taste: Bananas and coconut milk do a good job of masking the pungent maca taste.  In my smoothie I put almond milk, half a banana, yogurt, coconut milk, raspberries, banana flavor protein powder, the maca powder, and a little stevia.  Blend it up and it's pretty yummy.
