Thank you shortcake,
I copy Prettymama's maca schedule. She took 1 a day in the first week, ramped up 1 a day each week to 6 a day in week 6. Then a week break, and pick up at 2 a day.
I want to extend the ramp up to the end of my 3 month program. I started maca at three weeks in, so that will be 10 weeks on maca. I also ramp up faster than Prettymama: 3,000 mg yesterday. It made my ears sizzle after a few hours. Today 3,000 too, but that was just an hour ago.
I use the maca powder, in the morning in a glass of water on an empty stomach. I also use dried hops flowers and powdered fenugreek seeds, because I want as little processing as possible. Capsules are for on the road or in the office.
Just heard a little whistle in my left ear. I'm 185 lbs, just divide the 3,000 mg by that and multiply by your weight.
If you have to choose between capsules with or without extract, I'd choose the ones without extract in principle. Unless the extract is better in unwanted side effects. I haven't tried maca extracts yet, but hops extract makes me less sleepy than the whole flowers.
