Cool! If you see results, I'll have to invest in some. I could use a little more booty ;)

I used Navitas Naturals from Whole Foods, be careful though it made me break out realllllly bad i guess i already had enough estrogen. Gave me nice results including some unwanted pounds in the stomach area:( But mind you Ive always carried weight in butt, hips, and thighs and I could see this only working for someone if thats where you gain weight not a pancake booty. Oh also I do booty workouts wasnt sure if that was a factor in it.

I am taking Maca to get more energy. I bought maca in store where all products from latin america.my maca is cream color. I know that red one is better for women and black one for men, and cream one has less nutrition. So what i have notice that - yea boobs is firm( . )( . ), and if i take before gym i have more energy. So im getting too crazy in the gym and after fall asleep. The taste doesnt worry me at all. I take one spoon and drink it with a water. But also i have bloating ugh. I will try to buy gelatinised maca.

By derriere is my a big concern of mine, or rather, the lack there of.
I plan to read up more on this, but I'm too vain to mess with my skin or have added bloat. We'll see what I find....!

I got mine a few days ago. I didn't want to deal with the gross flavour so I bought the gelatinized capsules. Suggested serving says 3 a day. I started w 2 yesterday. 3 today. So far, so good.
Definitely gonna see how my energy is affected. I haven't had trouble sleeping thus far.......but i'm also a pothead.
If the side effects of bloating, gas, acne, tooooo much energy leading to anxiety......then I will discontinue. Here's to hoping! I'll check back in as well!

Okay, I'm back with a two week update. I've been taking 2000mg a day everyday. There are a few days that I slipped up and only took 1000mg on though. Anyways, as promised it makes you gassy but nothing real terrible, ime. My boobs have gotten a little fuller (btw, I'm pretty close to being flat-chested so I definitely noticed the change) and my ass has rounded out more up top. I've gained a .5inch so far. My hip measurement now is approx 36" (I'm hoping to make 38")
I read somewhere about alternating days or weeks when you take it so I'm going to stop for a week and then start again (but taking 3000mg).
Oh and energy! Yes it definitely gives you and extra boost plus my sex drive is through the roof.

so the maca does make your boobs grow? Has anyone else here had any major breast changes? I would love to have mine rounded out they are kind of tear drop shaped maybe even a little tuberous where I have huge areoloas as I have gotten older they have took a more normal shape still need to be rounder though. I will definitely get this and report back if any of u ladies have seen a difference thanks.

It's added a little more jiggle and weight to mine however I wouldn't go so far as to say it's given me a cup size. It's definitely boosted my ASSests though.

also back with an update!
awesome stuff:
-well, the energy aspect is great, I've still not had trouble sleeping even if i take my 3rd capsule around 4/5 pm.
-I now feel a bit less hungry in the morning- took a week or so for that to kick in- but damn it to hell! it's crucial for me to eat brkfst so i don't end up buying a croissant later or something else i could save my $ for....
-i've found i drink more coffee now, oddly enough.
-I'm got the "endurance" aspect working for me KIND OF - like....i'm able to face the day... (not in a depressive or anxious way, but moreso, i feel as though I'm more prepped for my longer school days twice a week...instead of dreading having to even deal with it)
-i've noticed pants fitting looser, so....i'm okay with that too!
-enough of a libido boost that it's def worth it!
the shitty parts:
-I haven't noticed much change where i wanted it the most - my butt!
-i think it's def screwing w/ my hormones.... usually i get pre-period breakouts....this time, nope...until my 5 days was over....now my chin is lamely pimply. i take the BC Pill to lessen my breakouts, dammit!
-this happens on a rare occassion, but it was at least 3 days straight that I was lactating - minimally, but....not into it at all! I'm also not into having kids ever, so...just a weird thing with the hormones.

still curious if this post-period breakout was a fluke or not. giving it a bit more time!

I wish I could take this but I can not sleep on it. It does make your period regular if you have issues with that.

So I've been taking a 500mg capsule every morning for 3 weeks. So far I definitely have less energy, am less depressed, and my sex drive is through the roof. My cravings (for sweets, greasy food, etc ) are non existent. My stomach does look flatter too. I started it when I was on my period. Unfortunately ever since then I have had dark brown spotting every day and have to wear a panty liner through the day and tampons when dancing so I'm not so happy with that. Also I have some small breakouts and I never get acne. It does effect your hormones so i assume this might take at least a month to even out. But so far the benefits far outweigh the balancing out time.

Hello Ladies,
I am so surprised this thread is still going on. I will update yall on my life for those who care. I've had 2 kids since my last post. Youngest is under a year. So I started taking maca again after my 2nd child to build up my sex drive which was no where to be found and possibly help lose a little baby weight. My babies didn't give me hips or ass and I just knew they would. Of course my sex drive went through the roof and I started shedding inches from my waist but I was also working out so I don't know if it was the maca or me. My butt was a little smaller than before I got pregnant so I was hoping to get it back to pre butt "weight". I recently moved to Georgia and all the girls here have big ol booties. My butt is not HUGE but it has def grown, and my waist is a lot smaller (but I have been working out, and doing some butt exercises-very little). I don't know if yall can still see the pics I posted way back when but I have added some below. I'm the one on the left. I must admit, I am tooting it out a little...I'm learning my angles :)
P.S. Don't joke on my bff, shes got noassatall and Im not sharing my secrets. lol. Don't judge me. lol

This is my first time posting because I usually lurk but started taking maca like early March. I take 2 capsules in the morning and two at night before bed. I also have the same dosage with fenugreek root. I don't know the exact measurement of my butt but it has grown a bit. Starting out my butt wasn't flat. I had the type of butt where if I wear leggings it'll look big but with regular jeans it looked like an average sized butt. Now if I wear jeans my booty be popping lol. I still have a good bit of capsules left but when I'm done I'm definitely ordering again.
