Red maca is classified by scientists as a safe food, which is why it can be taken in larger quantities without further problems.
In a study, test persons did not show any complaints after a daily dose. Nevertheless, we could unfortunately not find any scientifically proven information about the recommended daily amount.
In general, it is advisable to approach Maca products slowly and to start with a small dose. This gives your body time to get used to the active ingredients, as red maca takes effect quite quickly.
After you have become accustomed to taking it, you can increase the amount to meet your needs.
Since different dosage forms are offered, they also have to be dosed differently. The raw powder has the lowest concentration, which is why one to two heaped tablespoons a day are sufficient. For the gelatinised powder, about a quarter to half of this amount is recommended.
The number of capsules should be taken according to the concentration. The recommended daily amount is usually given in the package inserts. With tinctures, a few drops are usually enough for an effective effect.
