All I can say is WOW! I was struggling with menopause hot flashes and sleepless nights for months. I decided to give Maca Root a try and the hot flashes disappeared on day one! I’m sleeping better and wake up feeling more rested. I started taking 8 capsules/day, went down to 6 and today I tried 4. I’m so glad I found this all natural product to try. I feel human again :)" - Cheri Hewko

"I have reordered & found the RED MACA ROOT to be great in supporting the hormone. I’m 60 & had horrible issues with post menopause/ sleep issues. I found it helped my issues ~20-25%. Helped with less hot flashes too in the middle of the night. My husband even recognized it helping." - Denise McAllister

"Amazing relief from perimenopausal hot flashes! I started with 2 Red Maca capsules and worked up to 8. I can't live without these!" - Felicia Jackson

"These are amazing. Hot flashes gone! Night sweats gone. You need to give them time to work their magic. Be patient. It took me about 3 weeks before I started feeling normal again. Menopause sucks!! These are a literal life saver. Sure, you can find other brands for cheaper. But don't do it. These organic, fresh, raw maca capsules are worth every penny!" - Traci

"I am going through early menopause, and I have to say that this has helped with my hot flashes tremendously. Now, with that being said, I had not had a period for two months, but when I started using this, my cycle started up again, and I had two cycles in that month. Coincidence? Possibly. The taste is okay. I mix it with a small cup of cold water in the mornings with no problem." L.T.

"I just started menopause (at 48!) and had terrible hot flashes and drenching night sweats. After researching natural remedies I came across some info about maca, and decided I had to try it. I ordered Raw Red Maca and started taking it right away. It took a week or two before I realized I was having less hot flashes and fewer nights with night sweats. I continued taking the maca and the hot flashes and night sweats have almost completely subsided, and even then I think it's on days when I forgot to take my maca. In addition, I had stopped having a period, but that has returned with the maca. Thank you so much for making this product - it has saved me! I'm even giving it to my 17 year old daughter for her period cramps and such." Jennifer

Without my daily Maca I’m a sweaty hot mess of stress. With it I’m confident, happy and cool as a cucumber. Don’t wanna go a day without my MACA!" - Marnie James

"I began having hot flashes in June 2015. Someone recommended Maca and after researching the various brands I decided on Maca Team Red Maca I started out with 2 for a week, then increased to 3 for a few days, then finally 4. My hot flashes and night sweats stopped by week 4! I am continuing to take 4 a day and still no hot lashes or night sweats after 2 months. I will continue to take." - Hallie H.

"This product changed my life. My hot flashes nearly do not exist. My energy level is up and I feel good. Thank you maca team for this great product" - G.A.

"I’ve been taking Maca for hot flashes for a while and was looking to try another brand and came across The Maca Team in a search. First of all I had no idea this stuff has a scent! I was blown away when I opened the jar! I couldn’t believe how fresh and earthy it smells- I’ve been taking 3 in the morning and there’s a noticeable difference in the amount that I get and the severity. I will definitely keep ordering this." - Debbie

"I use it for hot flashes during menopause and it makes all of the difference." - Lisa Scribner

"I really like this product. I drink it in my tea every morning. I am 65 and was still suffering from Hot Flashes until I started using your Red Maca. The Hot Flashes are gone, thanks to Red Maca Powder. Thank you so much!" - Linda Gesch

"I went thru menopause at 53. Now I am 68 and am having hot flashes like I never had before. I wake up drenched in the middle of the night. And usually have a couple lesser hot flashes in the early evening. I bought your Maca because it's from Peru, besides being organic, and it promised to even out hormones, which my doctor tried to do with birth control pills. I bought the yellow maca because it was most affordable for me. It WORKS! After about three days, the hot flashes were stopping. I still got the evening ones, but not the body drenching night ones. Right away I bought two more bags. This is wonderful stuff. Thank you for making such a fine product. Now the evening ones have practically stopped as well. They have become hardly noticeable. I put it in a smoothie with frozen organic fruit and a bit of Almond Milk, and ice. Tasty." - Patty

"From the 1st day I took the red maca capsules my hot flashes are bearable when they do occur now." - Vida

"My hot flashes stopped after a week of using these red maca root capsules!!" - Angela

"I also wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your products. Maca has been a tremendous help regarding menopausal hot flashes. I was miserable and frustrated, until my husband reminded me to try the maca we had (that he'd bought for general health reasons), and it saved me. Thank you so much!" Nicole C.

"I love this product. My hormonal symptoms of perimenopause seem more in control when I'm taking my Maca from The Maca Team. The product is wonderful. And the process is great. Thank you!" Kathryn Krase

"The maca extract has really done wonders for me! I am going through peri menopause and also has lupus and the hormone imbalances would trigger or exacerbate my lupus flares. With Maca I am so much better!! Also, I think I may have gluten sensitivities so if you don't see any effects from the maca powder, try the extract before giving up. Maybe you are not absorbing well. This happened for me. The maca extract has taken away my hot flashes, my anxiety from my hormone fluctuations, a bunch of symptoms related to my lupus flares and lots of more symptoms I can't even remember now!!! I thank God and The maca team every day for this great help!!" Klara Seiger

"This is my second review and I had to share the good news. First, I was taking Estrogen and Progesterone hormones. I hated taking the hormones but I was having lots of menopause symptoms that affected my life. Hot flashes/sweats and mind spacing out. So I was a mess. So I went on the hormones. I started taking Maca and after 2 weeks, I started breaking out in small patches of hives. I eliminated progesterone and eventually eliminated the estrogen. Now I have no hives. I think (but don't know) the Maca was adjusting my own hormones and that I was "overdosing" on hormones so I have eliminated all the hormones because Maca has allowed me not to use them anymore. Eliminating them stopped the hives, the hotflashes and my mind is sharp. Yeah! So I am hooked on Red Maca forever. Thank you! Thank you! I feel great, sleep great and have no menopause symptoms!! Double Yeah!!" - Lorainne V.

"I’m so grateful that I found your Maca capsules. I take them daily and they have saved me from having to be on HRT ( hormone replacement therapy) . As a women currently in menopause I felt I had no alternative to starting this new chapter in my life and was dreading the HRT.. I did my research and found your Maca capsules and thought I’d give it a try.. your product is a Godsend.. I’m back to myself, sleeping well, no night sweats and my husband's grateful too!!! Thank you again and you e got a life long customer here.." - Iris

Red Maca has been extremely helpful in balancing hormones. I am in perimenopause and my progesterone, testosterone and estrogen was lowered. After several months is using this product, my hair loss stopped, I lost weight with a healthy diet, and stabilized my moods." -Shae

"Menopause kicked my butt. Everything hurt. I would wake up because my hips, ankles and elbow joints hurt. When I got up from sitting for long periods of time, I looked like I was twice my age. The Red Maca has helped improve these symptoms and more. Grateful that I learned about this product and would highly recommend it." - Victoria

"As I’m going through pre-menopause and having hot flashes I have discovered taking Red Maca Root Extract has helped my discomfort." - Kimberly Hylton

"This product has helped with living my best life. My joint pain from menopause is manageable and I'm making gains." -Sara

"I have been taking Maca for a little over a month. Within days I noticed an increase in energy. However, the biggest win is my post-menopausal hot flashes diminished over the first few days of using Maca and now a month later they are nearly gone. I may have a very mild feeling of warmth (we are also well into Summer with temps in the high 80s) but it passes quickly. And best of all, I am SLEEPING through the night comfortably. No more kicking off the covers, getting cold and covering back up, getting hot and kicking them back off. This happened all night long!! No more! I can actually sleep with blankets. Nothing like being warm under the blankets in a nice cool room. Perfect sleeping. I am currently taking 5 capsules which seems to be the ideal dose for me at this time. The first few weeks my stomach was a little unsettled when taking the Raw Maca caps. I switched over to the gelatinized caps and had no issues. Now I combine the both with no issues. It may just take a little time to get adjusted. I wish I knew about this when I was getting my periods, I think it would have helped!! I love that it is considered a food and not a supplement. Highly recommend and I have been telling everyone about it. I will continue to take this and hopefully see more beneficial results over the next month or so." -Nicole

"Almost immediately I found Maca to give me more energy. I used to take naps all the time and I've only had 1 nap in the last month. I'm in perimenopause and experiencing lots of different symptoms including hot flashes. I have found that my symptoms have greatly reduced. Right now, using about 1 teaspoon per day." --J.R.

"Very helpful in controlling menopause symptoms and increasing overall energy." -Laurie Kellog

"I am only starting my fourth week on the maca but I'm feeling really good. I have been taking hormones and this is the time when I would need to go back to the doctor but so far I've been able to hold off. I am not having hot flashes or night sweats and my energy seems pretty good. That's why I ordered this and it seems to be working. If I can stop taking hormones, I will be extremely happy. I also love that this is a small family owned business!!!" - Annette

"I’m so glad I found your company. After taking the raw red maca for a month, I’m feeling so much better! No more hot flashes, belly bloating, or constipation. The raw maca is very easy to add into some orange juice or milk, and even doesn’t taste bad in ust water. I’m definitely telling my friends and family about your products:)" - Karla Gailey

Was recommended Red Maca by ChatGPT to help with perimenopause symptoms. From taking the first pill, I could tell an immediate boost in energy. In fact, start slow. Even slower than what the bottle recommends at first. This has definitely helped with all the physical and emotional changes from perimenopause with some added benefits ;)". - Cheryl

"I originally started taking Red Maca Capsules about 18 months ago to help relieve the symptoms of menopause one of which began affecting my life tremendously and that was very painful sex. Within a month of taking two capsules twice a day, I was back to being 'me' again. This product has also helped with hot flushes throughout the day, although I still experience night sweats, something that always hits me within a minute of going to bed. Thinking about perhaps increasing my daily dose to try to fix this. Love this product though and could not do without it. Thanks Maca Team." - Julie

"I have been taking the Red Maca to help with perimenopause night sweats. It has helped me so much and I am so thankful!!!" - Gretchen

"I will forever be faithful to the Gelantinized Raw Red Maca! It saved me from 99% of my menopause symptoms. Three months after turning 50 my body went to crap. Crashing fatigue in the afternoon, my joints aching in my hands, could NOT sleep more than 2 hours at a time, hot flashes, night sweats, lack of concentration, mood swings of a pregnant woman, and acne of a teenager. At night when I couldn't sleep, I would research for something to give me relief because I was too scared to take hormones, and my insurance doesn't cover bio-identical treatment. I began reading about Maca and its benefits, and the ONE thing that was consistent in every report was to make sure you purchase from a reputable source. The ONLY one that came up in my search was The Maca Team. I made my first purchase of capsules in August 2015, and within 3 days of taking them, joints stopped hurting, hot flashes were down by over half, and my energy level was restored. Also, I had been on a blood pressure medicine for about 2 years, I no longer take it. My blood pressure has been normal for about 5 months now, I do take the occasional water pill, but not daily. My doctor said take as needed, he said my swelling is due to my menopause and will come and go. I want to thank everyone at The Maca Team for the fast shipping, ensuring I am never without my Maca, thank you for a quality product, and I am thrilled about the new rewards program!" Anna Whitehead

"I am a 48 year old female and have used the gelatinized red maca for over a year. I wanted to wait to write a review because so many times I try something that seems to work initially and then stops working. I am in perimenopause and have adenomyosis. I first took natural oral progesterone which worked fantastic, until the company stopped making it and the transdermal progesterone did not work for me. Then I came across articles about maca trying to find something to help my symptoms. I chose The Maca Team maca and after one month my irregular bleeding became a normal 28 day cycle which was consistent until I went off the maca for one month and started having symptoms again. I went back on the maca and I'm back to "normal". This product has: decreased my hot flashes/night sweats substantially, regulated my cycle, and normalized my mood. I still have some other perimenopausal symptoms; however, this is still a miracle food for me!!!!" - Angie
