I'm trying to get healthier and I got interested in herbal solutions and I came across this and a video and when I ordered it I thought it would be bizarre but the only thing bizarre was when you first open it the smell is definitely interesting but when taking it it doesn't taste like anything. I usually open the pill itself and just drop the powder in any drink I'm drinking it's easier for me that way.Depending on how you take your pills it can be a little hard to swallow but there no bad smell with it I actually see what the maca does and I only use it for 2 weeks nowMuch easier than mixing in my coffee. Capsules are big but go down easy.I tried a few different brands of maca, both powder and capsule. This is still my go to as a daily supplement. First, the price/value of this brand is exceptional, only bettered by the powder form which most people can't stomach. It's effectiveness is still noticeable to me even after many months of use. The uplift in mood and energy, while not as noticeable now simply because I'm starting at a higher baseline than when I first used the product, is perhaps the most valuable effect of this herb. The 'other' benefit, increased libido, while it shouldn't be the primary reason for taking maca, is very real for me. I take one capsule in the morning and one at lunch. If I take a third in the evening occasionally that's the kicker for my libido and it works. I've read where one should take a few days off from the herb occasionally to renew its effectiveness. That may be true but it's so much a part of my daily routine that I don't bother. Its very important to remember that any herbal supplement is not a magic bullet. It should be part of a regime of good diet, exercise and proper rest. Yes I still have days when I'm tired, sluggish, and foggy-brained, but they are much diminished since I've made maca part of my regular diet, and second only to my elimination of much of the bad sugars in my diet the reason for this improvement. This particular brand appears to be the darker (red or black maca) variety, but I don't know this for sure. The potency is also attested to by the odor when opening the bottle. I haven't done extensive comparisons with other brands, simply tried a few different ones. This has worked so well that I have no need to change to any others for now. Seller was very good about feedback as well. I highly recommend.As with most “herbal supplements”, the primary effect of maca is to lighten your wallet.Perusing the literature, at best, you will have to take about four pills a day over several weeks to have a chance of maybe seeing something. The reviews I’ve read here make claims wildly out of proportion with even traditional use.Take them all with a grain of salt, observe the silly tone of so many of them, and, better yet, save your money.worked like a charm will be ordering moreAt my age, I lost my libido but this has turned the clock back. Now I'm emptying my body fluids every 1-3days lol.Para el cansancio y fatiga al correr.Excellent.
