for those experiencing maca side effects, are you taking gelatinized maca or raw maca?
A lot of the side effects like the heart palpitations sound like a thyroid issue (hypothyroidism), and raw maca is a goitrogen, that is it inhibits thyroid function a little bit like brussels sprouts or broccoli. the gelatinized form of maca is cooked, removing the goitrogens and letting your thyroid function normally when you take it.
