I also read that Maca raises testosterone and estrogen, but not sure if it raises progesterone so I was thinking about starting the cream another time. I did before, it made me feel better, but I think my breasts got a little smaller after using it.

Maca raises testosterone and can raise DHT, it must do in my case because of the acne. I read that green tea extract and soy together could greatly reduce the convertion into DHT.

Here is an interesting opposing view on the effects of maca on testosterone.

Basically, the studies that were conducted on humans had no control group or really weak results. It did not raise any male hormones either. There are actually several studies showing that maca did not increase any hormones(testosterone, estrogen, progesterone). Maca does, however, nourish the glands that produce the hormones but does not affect the production directly.
