I'm taking concentrated gelatinized maca capsules, which are 500mg per capsule. The recommended dosage on my bottle is 2 capsules a day (1 capaule for petite/sensitive). And trust me, I'm petite!! All over, in every way. Lol. I started with 1/2 a capsule (250 mg), by opening it, dumping out 1/2, then just pouring the other 1/2 in my mouth, followed by water. I've bumped up to 1 capsule now & will bump to 1 and a half in about 2 days.
You need to gradually get to the recommended dosage. A lot of people that just jump right in, get headaches or acne or some mild reaction (that stops as soon as they lower the dose). You have to ease into it, like you should with any other herb.
