red maca

Hello I am a first time poster long time reader :wink:

Until now I’ve considered it best just to peruse the forums reading here and there. I didn’t want to make it seem real. But it is real… I’ve had these side effects for 6 months. And been off propica for 3. I pressed through the first three on guidance from 2 doctors. Now I wish I really hadn’t. but that is the past.

My approach until now has been just to let time heal my sexual dysfunction. But little has changed and I feel like its time to get proactive. A few people in my personal life have suggested I take a supplement of the root called red maca.

Since then I’ve research countless hours on the internet attempting to understand the exacts of this plant. what I have red has peaked my curiosity immensely yet at the same time planted seeds of doubt.

So here is my question:

In my search I’ve come to understand that the root is also being used by people in the hairloss community as a finasteride substitute. Saying that it decreases dht. Wouldn’t this be counter productive to our goals in getting better? How does it decreases dht if it is used to promote sexual health and raise ones libido? Wouldn’t that be like taking saw palmetto to get better? This makes no sense.

a lot of people on this bored seem to say red maca has helped them recover and I would like to get on that same boat I just want to make sure it’s the right one.

Thank you in advance for you help

I think your a little confused. They say, DHT is the cause of hairloss. S.P is used to reduce DHT as like finasteride. Maca doesnt do that…

DHT is important for sexual function.

sorry, it seems u are correct in that red maca can reduce dht/shrink prostate. Who told you specifically to get red maca?
