Re: Maca

[Guest guest]

To: Alcipperati.

Being male myself, i can't say anything about the effects of Maca on females.

The combination of Arginin, Gingko, and 1.6 g of Maca definitely helps sexual ability in my case, but does nothing for my libido. Except, tantalizingly, on one single occasion a few months ago, for about

five minutes when libido for the first time ever since PSSD returned - in full force, to 100 %, in response to visual stimuli. It was an astounding experience. Just like old times. It's like Vornan and others say, there is not anything

destroyed in our brain, it's probably about gene expression.

By coincidence, just 2-3 days ago, a weak but distinct libido returned, to maybe 10-15 % of pre-PSSD level. My second occasion of libido since PSSD. This time, it lasted for about two days, or rather for those periods those days that I was open to it. This time i used only Maca, but with a stronger dose, 2.4 g daily. The libido effect surfaced on about days 5 and 6 of the Maca. But then it disappeared. I'll stop and may later try Maca alone again, at a yet higher dose. I have not noticed any side-effects from it. // Ulf

do you think this would work with females too? was it a significantchange? Sorry, guess I didn't answer your questions, just came up withmore questions >> > Is there anybody on this list with experience of long-term use ofMaca? I have only used it short-term, for a couple of weeks at a time,but am wondering weather long-term use could have libido-enhancingeffects. // UIf

Well that is all a good sign! I find Gingko helps me, if I take like

500mg every two days or something. How does the maca work? Similar to

gingko? cuz i would imagine it's all about how it functions.

500mg?? Isn't that something like 10 tablets? Even recommendations for

L-Arginine are usually 10 tablets a day. Is this what people are taking? I

wouldn't mind doing it if there is a tangible effect.

I don't know. I don't take that much!! One tablet every second day. I

was too lazy to go find out how much that is, but I will now.... 60mg

haha you're right. But I don't know, I'm not big (5'7 " like 125) and a

female so take that into consideration. I notice the difference mostly

after I get started with the hanky panky if you know what I mean.

I will try maca though if it is not too expensive.

What brand of Maca did you take? Also, where did you get it from? I

think I'm ready to try supplements now that I'm almost all detoxed

from benzos...

The bran of MACA that I take is called MACA MAN and I purchased this

stuff at a local GNC. You will notice a boost in your libido. This

is my third day taking it and the last couple of times that I have

masturbated, I have had much better orgasms although my once porn star

dick won't get hard all the way. Anyway, go ahead and try it out and

let me know if you see any progress.

peace, brian
