I'll be careful and stick with 1 tsp for now!
Still have not felt anything noticeable from maca (today is day 2 - I took it in some water and damn, that stuff tastes strong like this! I couldn't really taste it in my smoothie the other day), but maybe I have..
How long does the maca stay in your system? I took it just before noon today and didn't notice anything much, but the one thing I noticed (which may or may not be from maca) came at around 5 or 6pm. Could it have been from the maca? 6 hours seems kind of crazy.
Has anyone ever had any experience with maca interacting with anything else, like caffeine? Around 4-5pm, I had some coffee.. and it was around 5 or 6pm that I started noticing that I felt kind of strung out but tired at the same time (the feeling you get when you are tired but may have had too much caffeine). Then I started thinking about it and feeling a bit weird/unsteady, kind of like when you feel a bit low blood sugar. It made me wonder if this was from a combo of coffee + maca? Then again, it could have just been because I may have been dehydrated too. I felt a bit better after a glass of water, but still felt kind of tired+strung out at the same time. Now I am really tired, like crashing when caffeine wears off.
