Maca Dosage

         Dr. Garry Gordon who specializes in longevity, recommends a
         dose of about 3 grams (3,000mg~4,000mg daily) or more, de-
         pending on individual tolerance, severity of the problem being
         addressed and how quickly results are desired. It is important
         to take enough as a food that nourishes the hormonal system
         to maintain optimal balance and health, to take it regularly and
         to give enough time for the Maca to work with your endocrine
         system, which will depend on your initial state of health. Some
         people notice a beneficial difference with 1-2 weeks and others
         will take longer (up to 3 months). We recommend both partners
         (male/female)to use Inca-Maca while working on conception. The
         usual amount taken for fertility is between 4,000mg to 5,000mg
         daily. Women usually stop taking Maca when pregnancy is dis-
         covered and resume Maca if they are breast-feeding to increase-
         milk production.

         Don't be confused by low-priced imitations.
