Customer Comments & PCOS Testimonials

"I only bought the capsule form of this because its easier for my schedule, and I am a terrible smoothie maker! haha! Well anyways, I've had PCOS for a few years now. Being that their is no cure for it birth control is the only recommended medication to help keep it under control. I stop taking birth control because of the weight gain and seriously did not have a period for a year. After two weeks of taking red maca I naturally had a normal regular period. I was in awe. I feel so much better knowing I can live the rest of my life not on birth control. I am so pleased with this product and I have turned so many of my girlfriends onto it as well." - Kaitlyn

"I recently started using the raw red maca powder. Which has done wonders! I have PCOS and have been dealing with lots of issues for the past 15 years because of it. I can't tell enough people about your product!" - Lynn

"I have been taking this product for the past couple of years. I am a female (43) and generally healthy except that I have PCOS. I have noticed that it is helping with hormonal issues. I also have found that I have more energy and am more vibrant. I want intimacy again. I have the energy to do things that I want to do. At first I did not enjoy the flavor, within a month I craved it. I use it in my morning smoothie or shake and I have one daily. Love this company as well, their customer service is excellent." Gabby

"I really love this product for my hormonal health. About a year ago my period started to become irregular so I ordered this product and took it consistently for several months with breaks in between. Over time my periods became normal again. I have been ordering from the Maca Team for awhile now and so far their products have been really great. The taste and quality is amazing. I highly recommend." Nia

"I take the red maca capsules to regulate my hormones because I have pcos and I have not any cysts and my menstrual cycles have finally regulated. I couldn't be more happy with th product." --Ashley Gonzalez

"I am 41 years old and have been perimenopausal since I was 36. Some of the super awesome symptoms of this are acne (which I've had since I was 12 due to PCOS which makes my hormones crazy anyway), hair where you don't want hair, bloat, weight gain...the list goes on. I went to my doctor and of course she wanted to put me on hormone replacement. That is not an option for me. I started doing some research and came across Maca. I found TheMacaTeam.com and took the questionnaire and it recommended the Premium Maca Powder. I have now been using it for a month and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin and some of the symptoms have lightened up as well. The woman I go to for dermaplaning saw me for the first time in the month that I have been using Maca and couldn't believe the difference. She said my melasma was 90% better than the month prior!!! I can not wait for another month to pass to see how much better my symptoms get. I highly recommend this product for everyone and especially for women who's hormones are going nutso. You have nothing to lose by giving this product a chance, just make sure you stick with it regularly - every single day." -Andrea Tucker

"I ordered this product to help with PCOS issues and energy/stamina. Right off the bat, I have more energy and stamina to get through my day. In the not so distant past I almost always needed a nap. I think the hormonal balance works slower and I've only been taking 6 pills daily for two weeks. So far, so good.-" - Ashley Merrit

"I've been ordering maca from you for about a year now. So far I have had premium and red, mostly sticking to premium. Maca had given a lot back to me... I have celiac disease, PCOS, and endometriosis.... extreme fatigue is a very real problem I face daily... until I found your site describing all of the wonderful benefits of maca. I still have fatigue some days, i can't get around that, but I can say that it has improved probably 80% of the rest of the time. Maca has also helped get my digestive tract back on track after the devisitating effects of having undiagnosed celiac for so long... if I skip maca for a day it is very obvious to my body. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for putting such an amazing product out there!" --Jessica

"I started with the red maca capsules, but taking 10-12 a day was to much so switched to the powder. I really love it. I am on my second month. I was taking pain pills for cramps every 4 hours for the first 2 day. The first cycle on the maca i only took 3 pills total. That is huge.Cramps weren't as bad as they were before.That was the main reason to take the red maca. I love the energy I get from it. My hair and nails are growing like crazy. My skin looks better" - Anonymous

"Not only was the shipping super fast and everything arriving in tact. I absolutely love the benefits of this natural product. It has regulated my periods, since I am suffering from PCOS. I take this everyday faithfully along with other supplements." - Kia

"I have noticed so much improvement in my day to day activities. I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and had been recently struggling with a lot of the symptoms, especially fatigue. Over the course of a month I noticed my energy level increasing, my mood is better, and many other improvements. I will tell you this is not an overnight miracle pill. It will take time to work, but is totally worth it. I plan on continuing to purchase the raw organic capsules. I was worried because I tend to have a sensitive stomach but notice no irritations or discomfort while taking these. Great product. So glad I found The Maca Team!" - Faith

"I was worried, after reading reviews, that raw maca might be too much for my tastebuds or sensitive stomach. I drink about 5 g mixed in 8 oz of water first thing every morning and I have had no problems with the taste. My digestion is wrecked from years of daily antibiotics, but I have not had any problems digesting this. It's done wonders for my PCOS. Thank you" - J.L.

"I can't say enough of the staff at The Maca Team. They are so attentive and fast when you ask a question. This is key to a business and I'm so glad that I chose to buy Maca from them as opposed to another retailer. I purchased Red Maca because I have a lot of hormonal issues with having PCOS, I have only been taking for about a week or so but my energy level is through the roof. The taste is pretty strong for me, so I've had to try and find some smoothie recipes to kind of soften that blow, but I'll hold my nose if I have too to get all that energy! I'm hoping to see some positive results from it soon in regards to my hormone issues." - Dee

"My father recommended this product to me because he has had marked improvement in his prostate issues, mental clarity and his overall physical condition. I decided to try the red maca because I have PCOS and issues with fertility and ovulating. I am also overweight and I'm currently on track to reach my weight goals. haven't even finished the first bag and I've had 2 periods one was 30 days apart and the next was 28 days (perfect). This has really seemed to balance my hormones. My moods are more stable. I've been taking it every morning before work and it is way easier for me to get up in the morning as I have to report to work at the crack of dawn. I love the nutty taste, I normally add it to smoothies when I have time on weekends but if I don't, I mix it with water and shake and take it with me on my work commute and it's just fine. I don't see myself giving up this product. I have used products in the past that claim to add maca to their products and have never seen these results. I noticed that I have a breakout on my face and I've heard that is because the product is regulating hormones which can initially cause a breakout. I look forward to improving skin and I have confidence that the product will deliver. I also notice changes in my nails, they are visibly stronger and clearer. Overall, I can tell this is one of the life changing products. I think it's well worth the investment in yourself and your health. I also feel that the price is reasonable as I'm not rich and I also don't want to spend tons of money on Dr's visits and medicines so I like superfoods like maca and I look forward to continuing purchasing from this brand. I've also told several people about my results because they ask and are curious about what I'm drinking. When I share it just feels so authentic because I truly enjoy and am benefited by this product." - Gabrielle Andrews

"My cycles were only 17 days long and super irregular. I have been wanting to conceive and heard about raw maca and decided to give it a try. It has definitely fixed my overall cycle! I am planning to try the red maca next to help with fertility." Lauryssa

"I suffer with pcos and no longer get my menstrual. My fertility specialist always want to give me progesterone tablets and metformin to help restore it and to help with the pcos however I constantly wxpress.to her I want to do everything the natural way. One day I was telling my cowoker anout the situation and she told me to try Maca root just any kind and I ignored her at first because it didn't think it would work because she was the same one who told.mw to try Vitex and it don't work. About a month ago I went back to the fertility specialist for gwt.ro tell me I'm not ovulating again and on that day I decided to google Maca Root and read the reviews and I read a bunch of great views however none of the compared to The Maca team reviews. So I ordered 2 bottles of the red Maca Root and they are great.. I started using them May 3 and approximately 11 days later I receive a surprise. My best menstrual cycle began. I will.comtimue to use Red Maca for me and my daughter, I will also be purchasing black Maca for my husband. Thank you Maca Team for a great product." - J.C.

"I've taken the gelatinized red maca for over 6 months and it help so much with regulating my monthly cycle when I would have several months up to years apart from my regulatory. I was told that I needed to gain weight and it would get back to normal. Being diabetic I gained a little weight and still irregular. I did some research on maca and started taking it and the irregularity started to go away to where my cycle comes every month. My family members tell me that they suffer of irregularity also and I've suggested this to them. It really helps." - Elyzabeth

"I love the Maca powder. It has helped me regulate hormones and normalize my monthly cycles that were all over the place after getting the Depo shot for birth control. What a nightmare! Your maca was the only thing that worked to get my cycles back to normal again. Thank you!" ---Lea

"Me and my boyfriend both notice more energy when taking this maca! My menstrual cycle was out of wack and after 2 months of using this product it has regulated itself. I highly recommend this product." --Melissa

"Hi Maca team, it's been a couple months, and I thought of writing you again- as I have been keeping up taking 1/3 tablespoon of maca each day, with days off, and it has eventually equalized my cycle, it is indeed a very useful thing to have! (for those who have the bc hormone arm implant, and have been thrown off)." - Julia

"I did not have a period for 3 months which I Was very up set ! I’m so excited could the red Maca extract made it appear if so I’m very happy about it !" - La'shawn Davis

"Since starting the use of the premium maca powder, I've noticed a decrease in PMS symptoms and fatigue. I blend it in my veggie-fruit smoothies in the mornings. After I finish with this bag, I will try the red maca. It is a great product!!" - Heather

"I initially purchased the Raw Organic Red Maca Root Powder to help with balancing my hormones. Not only did it help balance my hormones, but its adaptogen qualities helped me manage my stress even more effectively! I love the taste, and I include it into my morning smoothie every day. As a healthcare practitioner, I also recommend it to my patients, especially if they are needing to rebalance hormonal issues, such as acne that gets worse with their period, cramping during their period, and even for PCOS. They love it!" --Margarita
