You have read the benefits of maca, what about maca root side effects?
Maca eaten cooked and as a vegetable may not cause any side effect. Otherwise, the Peruvians would have stopped consuming it. But maca supplements may cause side effects or show no effect at all to some people. If your diet is low in iodine, you may have to reduce your maca consumption of eat maca that are cream or green in color. This is because red, purple and black maca contain high amounts of a natural compound called glucosinolate which may cause goiter. Or you can increase your foods that are rich in iodine such as haddock, cod, condensed milk, eggs and cheddar cheese. Just like any other herbs, foods and drinks, some people may be allergic to maca root extract. Some other people’s body system may reject it. Before you decide to take maca or any herbal or health supplements, always check with your doctor or do your research. Anyway, here are some maca effects that indicate that it may not be right for you.
