Hormone Balance Improved by Royal Break-Stone Liver Flush
Q: The Whole World Botanicals brochure says that you can’t combine Royal Maca with estrogen or with other adaptogenic botanicals, like ginseng. I take other adaptogenic herbs sometimes, like ashwaganda and ginseng, and want to know why I can’t combine them with maca.

Q: I am in peri-menopause and am having very long menstrual periods. I am assuming that I am estrogen-dominant and am wondering which product would be more effective for me: regular Royal Maca or Royal Maca Plus with DIM?
