I am 39 years old and have been taking Royal Maca for the last 10 months because I had developed perimenopausal symptoms at that time. I had irregular periods, horrible PMS and just felt exhausted. (I have been under severe stress for the last three years caring for my father who has cancer.) Taking Royal Maca my periods are regular now and I have a lot more energy and my PMS is much better but I still get it. I recently had a hormone panel test done and it came back that I am low in progesterone and in cortisol. My holistic doctor suggested adding Dr. John Lee’s progesterone cream to what I am already doing. (I also take Royal Camu and cod liver oil and Vitamin D.)
A: There is no problem in combining Royal Maca with a natural progesterone supplement. Most women don’t need to do this – Royal Maca, at the right dosage—usually straightens out a progesterone imbalance nicely. But there are always exceptional cases.
