Yeah, it's awesome-- I buy it by the kilo. It gives me this kind of peaceful energy incomparable to anything else. Also, a slight increase in libido but at a healthy age 20 it's really hard to increase this much.
I like to make smoothies with blueberries, whey, maca, etc. Or, I mix it with some honey and add hot water-- tastes almost like hot chocolate.

Thanks for the reply. Have you tried other adaptogens like Rhodiola Rosea or Ashwagandha? If so, how do they compare to Maca?
Thanks! [thumb]
Yeah, I've tried them both. Rhodiola is sort of hard to explain because the effects are very subtle and the dosages are much smaller (at least for me) than maca. It gives me a feeling of well-being and an increase in energy comparable to maca but more mental. It seemed like the Ashwaganda made me effortlessly put on muscle. I usually take it at bedtime as it makes me sleepy.
BTW, I buy both from:

I just ordered some Maca from the site you posted Dante and I'll report back after taking a nice attack dose.
Heh heh... you won't be disappointed lynx. Ken Johnson is a really nice guy, I go to his house to pick up the stuff as he lives here in Victoria. His living room is CRAMMED with maca.

What happened with everyone's test of Maca?
Would Maca be a good addition to a nootropic stack to improve virility and libido? I am on an SSRI, which is giving me horrendous sexual side effects. I've had issues with lethargy and libido prior to the SSRI as well. Would this be a good addition?
Does it react (positively or negatively) with any specific drugs or supps/nootropics?

I guess that depends on the attitude/personality of your sexual partner.
In my experience, it prolongs sex due to a mild numbing sensation (think like 3-4 beers), it increased libido, decreased refraction time, and increased semen volume. It made me feel like a man.
I was taking around 5 grams a day, split into two doses.

OOoh , Maca! Thanx for letting me remember that I still have a lot of it:P Ya, I tried it , it's very good, does what it says:p... Speaking of which, gonna try a slightly increased dose right now and we'll see what happens...I used to take only about 1.5-2g before, it tastes good. Also Try Avena Sativa, and GABA (This stuff is intense:O Hit me so hard the first time, almost made me black out! But then I realized that it could be the synergistic effect of piracetam and choline...)

dantecubit- do you get the gelatinized maca or the straight root? Which do you recommend? On the site, he says the gelantized makes you more mellow while the root makes you more lustful. Is that just marketing BS or is there truth to that?
thanks
thanks

You need to use it in powder form, and take at least 3 or 4 heaping tablespoons each day. You can not get that kind of dose in a capsule, unless you like swallowing handfulls of pills all day. It blends with most smoothie recipes very nicely. If you take the proper quantity and it is from a reputable supplier, you will definetly get results. Increased ejaculation, energy, elevated mood..all good stuff.

I just gave Ken Johnson a little business. A girlfriend of mine and I want to try this stuff out. It is great that it has a good or neutral taste, and that it doesn't inactivate when baked. Many people I know will not take a pill, but will knowingly eat a spiked course. Many of my friends would jump at me cooking for them, which makes it all the easier for everyone to enjoy. Hmmm, maybe a couples dinner party?
Haha, this reminded me of a friend that ate a leftover casserole of mine with baked in kava kava. She should have asked first!

MMMmmm, tastes like white chocolate but a bit more bitter and nutty. This would go great with almond, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, oat meal, fruit, etc. If I were to cook it into a desert, I would incorporate it into a cappuccino creme brulee or bavarois. The problem? This stuff is grainy. I wonder how well it would work if it was steeped and put through cheesecloth.
Anyway. After taking a tablespoon on an empty stomach, the mood effects are a bit stronger than with the initial dose of rhodiola, but it is less stimulating. It feels a bit like kava kava except that it does stimulate me a bit.
Update: I am loving the drink: Maca, water, beer, cinnamon, orange blossom honey...drink it heated like cider.
The day after i took it, I noticed more resistance to fatigue.
