I've also read a lot of really good things with the brand you're using! I think I might switch to that brand, but gelatinized, once mine runs out. I'm too lazy to bake my maca, so I'd rather get it gelatinized. Hahaha! But I'm glad that you do bake your raw!
I looked it up and all I can see is that a serving is 5 grams of maca in one teaspoon serving. It didn't say how much to take a day. What does your package say? Honestly, I think you're taking the right amount of maca. It's a higher dose, but I've read that 10,000 mg to 12,000 mg of RAW maca is totally safe upper limits. (It would be much less than that for gelatinized since gelatinized is almost like an extract). I'd say stay at the dose you're taking and take the breaks. Instead of taking it for a month & breaking for a week, try just taking it mon-fri and breaking over the weekends. I found that when you're in the early stages of gaining, a week makes a big difference.
