Question about Maca and PO or BO
April 13 2008 at 1:48 PM Deb (Login ddover)
I am currently taking just the PO. I was taking Vitex, which I love, and decided to stop taking with the PO due to all the post on here. I've been on it for quite a while and haven't seen any HUGE results. After reading about the Maca (it's my understanding that it also helps, like Vitex, with PMS, etc.) I would really like to try that. If I do start the Maca, should I stop the PO? Or, can they be taken together? Thanks for all your help!!

I started taking Vitex for PMS. No I haven't gained weight from it. I have gained some growth in the boobs, but I've been taking BO and then PO as well, so I haven't a clue which one to thank for that.
The reason I loved the Vitex is because it dramatically lessoned my PMS symptoms. Cramps were gone, period only lasted about 3 days, the mood swings were gone, etc. I don't know how it's worked with others, but it really did help me with all that. My moods seemed to more leveled out. I would always have bad PMS for about a week before my period, but while on the Vitex, I didn't have any of that. It took about 3 months for this to happen though. Once I really got it into my system, I loved it!!
I have gone off of it and am just trying the PO alone. That is because of what I've read on here how they MAY not work together. I'm going to finish the bottle of PO that I have and not buy anymore. I really want to try the Maca but I don't know if I can use that with the Vitex and I hate giving it up entirely.
Any suggestions are appreciated ladies!!
Take care
Deb

From what i can understand, Maca works in a similar way as Vitex, although differences do exist. For example Maca is supposed to increase libido and sex drive while with Vitex I ve read that you may have a slight decrease in sex drive.. Anyway in my opinion you r not supposed to try Maca and Vitex together as they sort of do the same thing, balancing and adjusting hormones but in slightly different ways.. Personally I havent tried any of these and I am also in the same position as you are, thinking which one of the two I should start, together with some herbs for BE. I believe maca is safe to use with other herbs as there are already brands which use Maca and other herbs in their formulas (eg femax I think). As for Vitex taken together with other BE methods I am not yet quite sure, still searching.. I am not very knowledgeable about BO or PO either so wouldnt be able to say anything about these.. Hope this helps a little but I would also welcome further responses as I would also like to find out more about Maca and Vitex and their effect with other BE methods!

vitex - maca
April 15 2008, 12:20 PM
Hi,
I have taken during 6 months only vitex (I have grown one inch of boobs and also two cm of hips). It was dominant estrogen and I had fibrocystic.
In spite of this small increase, I continue having very little boobs.
Do you think that I must follow with vitex?
I must begin with something new?
I have been beginning with cream of natural progesterone (day 13 to the 27).
Think that maca it can help me?
If I begin with fenogreck I am going to have fibrocystic again?
See you...!

I've heard different opinions on the question of taking bovine ovary and maca root, so that's probably why nobody's giving you a definite answer.
