Those are common symptoms. Glad to hear switching to the powder eliminated the bloating!
I'm only taking 500mg of maca a day right now. It gave me terrible dreams and acne before, so I'm taking it slow this time. It really does do wonders when you workout on it, an even those who don't workout claim that it makes their butt more shapely, because it works the muscles harder just from everyday walking.
For those who experience bad side effects from it (like acne or BO), that's because it increases Testosterone in women, so just take an anti-androgen (or, if you already are, adjust it accordingly as you take more and more maca). For some reason, this most recent time I started on maca (after a few months break), I didn't get any bad side effects like usual. :/ I'm not sure how common this is, but I assume it's because my NBE is constantly changing my hormone levels, so the maca works slightly differently.
