Maca experience
I had a hard time trying this as a supplement, even though I was warned that the taste was not pleasant. I took about one teaspoon in several different forms, like mixed into pancakes, a smoothie, and made into capsules. There was a rotten flavor to the powder that I had trouble getting over - it was worst in the smoothie, but taking a capsule gave me burps with the rotten flavor. It actually made me gag quite hard in the smoothie, and each time after taking it I had a bad stomach ache, kind of like a small stomach bug. I tried it about 7 times, couldn’t keep going because the taste continues to make me gag. From The Maca Team: We're sorry for your experience Olivia. Maca root does have an earthy flavor that some people really don't like. We might suggest that you try one of our maca extracts instead. Those taste sweet (because of the vegetable glycerin used in the extraction process). Those should help. We've also reached out on email.
