Hi All,
I just bought some Maca (500mg) after a read a post of all of it's benefits, but when I read the label, it says "Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking ... oral contraceptives ..." etc.
Does any lady take both birth control and maca? Do you know anything about possible interactions? I know that maca plays around with your hormones but I'm worried that it could cancel out my pill, which I'm definitely not ready for!
Any feedback/experience would be greatly appreciated!

You need to call your doctor.0

Maca regulates your hormones, helps increase production if you are deficient. Birth control is adding hormones to your body. I wouldn't recommend mixing the two. Please consult your doctor if you feel you need the benefits you are hoping to get from taking maca. There may be something different you should try instead.0
