Thread: MACA for weight loss

Has anyone tried MACA before? I heard it has many health benefits including weight loss. I think it's a root vegetable and there is a supplement available in the market as well. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks in advance.

MACA? Never heard of it. What is that? Is it effective?

Maca is said to Enhances fertility and sexual desire, improves immune system, enhances mood and aid weight loss. I read that there are no known side effects or drug interactions in eating the roots or taking the supplement.

That's correct viktoria. That's what I've read too. Lovetoknow, if you want to try this, just be sure to ask professional advice first just to be safe..

It's strange, this supplement or vegetable is completely new to me. Is it new?

I'm not sure. A friend of mine mentioned it yesterday and I got curious. I don't know where to get this supplement or how the vegetable should be eaten.

just read an article about this. As a supplement, users will take 6-8 capsules a day and as a vegetable, you can include them in your diet. One user experienced minor side effects like racing heart beat, depression, headaches but nothing major. It doesn't say how much weight you can lose though.

I heard they are famous in peru but there aren't much information about this supplement especially for weight loss so I can't really give much details.

Where can you find this product especially the root? Do you order it online or what?
