CAUTIONS
Women who have been on HRT for years may respond more slowly from ovarian atrophy. One physician tapers his patients off HRT over two weeks while having them ingest 6 capsules per day of Maca.
Men with high PSA levels or prostate cancer, and women with breast or other hormonal related cancers should avoid Maca. Anyone with liver disease should probably avoid it also.
Naturally, anyone with an allergy to Maca should not take it, either.
The usual prohibitions about pregnant or nursing women also apply.
Various
hormonal tests can determine the need for and the results of taking this substance.
