New Chapter Organic Maca Supplement - Fermented Maca Tablet for Energy + Endurance + Recovery Support - 48 ct

I usually don’t write reviews; moreover, l am pessimistic about buying supplements on Amazon. The reason being, there are too many people selling online. Therefore, l don’t know if Amazon does a thorough job vetting these merchants because there are too many fake products online from China. That being said, I'm incredibly impressed with this supplement. I've been taking it pre-workout for only two days. My performance at the gym has spiked in addition to my energy. I can't really explain it other than the fact that since l started taking this product two days ago, I've been working out for over two hours with better results.

I am not a doctor, this is just my personal experience with this supplement. This is not medical advice, just my personal subjective experience. I started taking these and immediately noticed a change in my energy levels. It wasn’t a energy spurt and crash type situation. I had all day energy. I started sleeping better, feeling more rested from the little sleep that I get as a mom of seven. During the day, the after lunch energy drop was completely gone. I felt really great, like I could take on the world. It wasn’t a nervous energy, just the feeling that I could do anything. My energy level wouldn’t limit what I could do. I also noticed a huge improvement in mood. It made me feel happier and more optimistic. I was better able to deal with stress. I’m very happy with this supplement. It is on the expensive side, but I think it is worth it.

Admittedly, I don't know a lot about various herbal supplements, so when one boasts of helping with energy, I am a bit skeptical. Likewise, how do you measure "energy" as it is a subjective and unique perspective to each individual. I may feel tired, but still have more "energy" to complete tasks than someone who has slept twice as long as me. So, is energy quantified by the ability to do more, or is it about "feeling" more alert, or just whatever...? I will say that after taking the Maca Supplement, I did feel more alert, but whether or not this is because of placebo or an actual mechanical neurochemical change based upon the product, I will never truly know. Would I get this product again - open transparency... it was free to me to review... so, no I probably would not get it of my own volition, but that doesn't make it a bad product. It very well could provide the "energy" it boasts to restore.

I can't speak for anyone else of course, as I suspect, each supplement like maca will have different effects on different people. But for me, it appears to have increased my libido a little bit. It also has acted like weak long lasting coffee in that it keeps me awake for more hours of the day. Which is why I don't take it in the evening, but take it in the morning.On the downside, it does appear to irritate the lining of my gut a little bit. I do feel it a little bit when I excrete. I looked things up online and this product can irritate the stomach of some people, especially if eaten raw (which this product is not technically, since it is fermented).The pills themselves, although they are not supposed to be chewed on, can be chewed and actually tastes okay, unlike most other pills that are supposed to be swallowed. It's not overly flavorful, but neither is it bitter or anything.

As an herbalist I had heard word of maca at its earliest introduction to the market when little was known of its effects. I decided to take it blind, just to see what it would do. Two weeks later I noticed that both my energy and libido were significantly higher.Maca is a food-grade herb that is used in Peru to increase fertility in livestock. It is related to a turnip, but has significantly different effects. In non-fermented forms it needs to be steamed. Fermentation also makes it more bio-available.New Chapter combined maca with schisandra, an adaptogen that increases immunity and hormonal balance, and with cardamon, a carminative that helps you assimilate the supplement.A great, well-designed supplement.

I'm a big believer in this synergistic formulation.When it comes to fermented products, Count Me In! Starting with that Bible of fermentation book, I started researching the benefits. So often, fermentation unlocks the hidden nutrients in terms of enzymes and beneficial bacteria.I had taken a plain maca supplement in the past, and this one is a hundred percent better.Maca has been long known as a superfood but never quite achieved the popularity of things like goji berries and organic blueberries.This combination acts like a health tonic.

This is a powerful blend of maca and schizandra, which work on hormones and glands - and so there are lots of purported effects like increased energy, libido, immunity, etc. I didn't find the pills to be extremely large - pretty common size for a calcium or vitamin C tablet. I don't think I'll be using it, though, because the first "other ingredient" is maltodextrin, which I avoid.

I used to add a scoop of maca powder to my green smoothies. I went through a lot of powder that way. This is a simpler, and probably more convenient way to get the energy benefits of maca supplementation.The pills are fairly large but are easy to swallow. They do seem to give me a bit of extra energy. I take one in the morning along with breakfast.
