Is maca suitable for an 18 year old male for his stress due to studies and exams?
#1- Maca Magic Answer: Maca is often used that way, and it works well for many people, however, I would not give it to such a young person for a term longer than 3-4 days. For one, at 18 years old he probably doesn’t need to increase his libido at all. Second, maca is a great tonic and can rebuild bodies, but your son is probably already in good health, only lacking in some nutrients because of pushing himself mentally, or not eating correctly. Maca might help him feel better almost right away, but for long term use you might be better off trying high quality “plant-based” B-vitamins, or something energizing and soothing like “spirulina” or “blue green algae”. Any of the green super foods would be good as well. I have personally found a great benefit with the algae some years ago when I was very stressed. And yes, give him a bottle of maca on his 38th birthday, he will thank you for it then!
