Hi Sunny and Lotus,
Again about MACA increasing testosterone...
I've saw this quote on a Lotus post in other thread:
"Quote: According to Dr. William Wong, (a PhD and natuaropath) you have to ingest 2-3 tablespoons of maca daily to have a physiological effect. Maca contains plant sterols that are precursors to testosterone and progesterone and also has DIM, which blocks and metabolizes estrogen. Dr. Wong also states that maca does not slow thyroid function as the cabbage-based DIM does."
What exactly does this mean?
And DIM helps to convert 16-hydroxy into 2-hydroxy?
"Supplementing our diets with DIM can shift the production of estrogen metabolites away from dangerous 16-hydroxy in favor of beneficial 2-hydroxy metabolites."
