Literally a lifesaver, most important thing I take!
So this is my first review I've ever done because I am honestly so pleased with this product. If you want the sparknotes version, it gives me a very clean sense of energy, increases my libido, acts a great pre-workout/run supplement, helps with my concentration and provides that extra spark I need in my everyday routines.
First with a little background:
I am someone who has battled ADHD and problems with concentration my entire life. I've tried numerous things to aide my concentration problems. I've been to doctors, tried caffeine, ginseng etc. and I have never found anything as helpful as this Maca powder. I AM NOT GIVING MEDICAL ADVISE, just merely sharing my experiences. I take two small teaspoons (probably 2-4 grams in every serving) of it a day- once when I get up with a cup of coffee and once at 4PM. I don't feel any overwhelming sense of jittery energy like caffeine brings, but just an overall sense of being awake and aware throughout the day.
Also I suggest buying this or any other brand of gelatinized Maca powder or if you buy it raw, look up directions for how to properly cook it. From what I could tell, most people who didn't find this product useful complained of stomach cramps/aches. This is because raw Maca contains starch which is hard for the body to digest.
For what its worth, in addition to Maca I round myself out with a fairly routine blend of vitamins. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below and I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities from my experience with this product!
