Maca – the queen of pleasure

⏱ 1 teaspoon daily · 4-8 week course🌿 All types · especially airy & earthy types
What you do

Stir 1 teaspoon of maca powder (yellow or red) into your morning shake, cocoa or porridge every day. Pay attention to organic quality and gelatinized processing – it is more digestible and rich in nutrients. A course of 4-8 weeks, then a 1-2 week break.

Why it works

Maca is a tuber from the Peruvian Andes, traditionally used for fertility, energy and libido. It does not work via phytoestrogens, but rather supports the hypothalamus-pituitary axis - i.e. your hormonal control system. Studies show improvements in libido, energy, mood and stress resilience, especially during perimenopause.

Step by step
  1. 1
    Start with ½ teaspoon, slowly increase to 1 teaspoon daily
  2. 2
    Take in the morning – Maca can have a stimulating effect
  3. 3
    Stir into warm (not hot) liquid
  4. 4
    Combine with cocoa (Libi-do #40) - they reinforce each other
  5. 5
    After 4-8 weeks, pause for 1-2 weeks, then start again
💡 Coco's tip

Maca usually only shows effects after 2-4 weeks. Patience pays off. If you have thyroid problems, consult your doctor beforehand.
