Can I take maca if I'm 17 since it's a food supplement and not herbal?
I want to take it to gain weight on my butt/thighs and combine taking it with working out.

Well maca is a food supplement but it's also a herb as well. Many herbs are sold as food supplements.

Not everyone will agree with me, but I think age 17 is fine to be taking maca. Teenagers have been taking maca in Peru for centuries.
