As soon as a female begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca^® for relief from heavy/painful periods, supporting a regular menstrual cycle, supporting mood balance, relieving PMS symptoms, supporting fertility and healthy reproductive function, promoting post-partum mood balance, promoting healthy skin (reducing acne), boosting energy, and helping to dissolve ovarian cysts.*

Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive. Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles and stay on that until they enter the perimenopause phase of life.

Most teenagers fall into the petite/sensitive category where they are shorter than 5’3″ (regardless of weight) or weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height). In that case, consider SHE™. our Royal Maca^®/Royal Camu^® combination product. SHE™ contains a small amount of Royal Maca^® to avoid over-stimulating the body and adds a generous amount of Royal Camu^® to support mood, immunity, and energy.

Not Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon daily. Evaluate symptoms after 5 days.

Perimenopause is a period of several to many years when estrogen and progesterone levels are dropping in a woman’s body creating symptoms of estrogen dominance first and then of estrogen depletion. Royal Maca^® offers excellent symptom relief for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of perimenopause. In Phase 1, symptoms of estrogen-dominance may include very painful periods, flooding periods, endometriosis, breast cysts, fibroid tumors, and painful breasts. In Phase 2, symptoms of estrogen depletion may include migraines, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, brain fog, depression, urinary urgency/frequency, and heart palpitations.

Consider taking 1/3 teaspoon of Royal Maca^® powder each morning if you are still menstruating and having hot flashes. If you have no period, you can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. As you transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of perimenopause, and develop hot flashes or other symptoms, you may need to increase your dosage. After a year of no periods, you may find that you need to increase your dosage again. The way your body feels should always be your guide.

You may also consider our Royal Maca^® for Perimenopause, which is specifically designed for perimenopausal women and contains magnesium and zinc, providing additional support for this phase of life.

Typically, after 3 months, 6 months or even a year or longer, you may notice previous symptoms (like hot flashes) beginning to return or you may develop a side-effect like irritability or insomnia. When this happens, you need to first STOP taking Royal Maca^® for 2 days, and then REDUCE your daily dosage. This will avert being overstimulated by the potency of Royal Maca^® after your body has achieved a better hormone balance of its own.

To begin the transition to Royal Maca^®, you must first stop taking the HRT, bio-identical hormones or other estrogenic elements cold turkey.

Royal Camu^® at this dosage will usually reduce hot flashes by 60-70%. After 4 weeks, start taking Royal Maca^® according to the directions on the bottle and reduce Royal Camu^® to 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily.

Note: If you begin to experience less energy, lower libido or mood, or if you start feeling agitation or have trouble sleeping, that means you need to reduce your intake.
