Helped significantly in reducing the hot flashes
After experiencing 30 to 40 “hot flashes” per day, I came across the recommendation to try maca root. It has helped significantly in reducing the hot flashes, and minimizing their severity. A couple of things about maca root, however, is that you have to take it for 2 to 4 weeks before any real benefits kick in. I’ve been taking 3 a day. In trying to scale back to two times per day, there is some worsening of symptoms, so it’s back to 3 and I’m not particularly thrilled about that, but would rather take 3 than have the problems
