Q: I am taking a women´s health formula from another company that contains fermented soy. Is this safe to take together with Royal Maca?
A: – Fermented soy foods, which include tempeh, natto, soy and tamari sauce are fine. The only type of soy which could be a problem is any supplement in which the isoflaones -- the phytoestrogens present in soy beans -- are extracted from the whole food and concentrated into a pill. These phytoestrogens combined with a potent type of maca root like Royal Maca, which acts as an adaptogen and helps your body utilize its own hormone production more effectively and in a more balanced way, can actually be unbalancing when combined.
Most women´s health formulas in health food stores contain phytoestrogens. So you need to read the label carefully on the bottle before combining with Royal Maca. The well known ones like black cohosh are easy to spot. But there are hundreds of phytoestrogenic compounds in nature which could be extracted and concentrated in a women´s health product, including lignans. Another ingredient in many of these women´s health products is an adaptogenic botanical.
The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia contains many such herbs and they do not generally combine well with maca root. Royal Maca works very well by itself for the overwhelming majority of women, helping to reduce symptoms of estrogen dominance while raising estrogen levels where estrogen depletion exists (as in women with menopausal hot flashes) that there is no need to look for another product to add as a hormone balancer.

Q: Which is better for 18 year old girls with irregular periods Royal Maca Plus with DIM or the regular Royal Maca?
A: It is not necessary for your daughters to take Royal Maca Plus with DIM. This product is particularly useful for helping to significantly lower a woman’s risk for getting breast cancer but girls have a very low incidence of breast cancer anyway. For half the cost you can have your daughters take the regular Royal Maca. For girls who haven’t had a period for several months we generally recommend 6 capsules a day for a period of 30 days. If they have a period before the end of the 30 day period, they can reduce their dosage to 3 capsules daily, starting from the day they begin to bleed. If this dosage is effective in helping to establish a healthy menstrual cycle for a second month, in the third month have them try taking two capsules daily on an indefinite basis.

Q: I am in menopause. Will taking Royal Maca cause me to start menstruating again?
I haven't had a period since 2002. I haven't been able to ascertain if using this product will cause menstruation to start up again, which would be a downside of the product for me. Can you please let me know if I take enough of this product to relieve dry skin and vaginal atrophy issues if that would stimulate menstruation again.
A: Although we have heard of women who have been in menopause of a year or two getting their periods back for a few months after starting Royal Maca, we have never heard of a women in menopause for 7 or 8 years getting her period again. So, it’s safe to answer that it would be extremely unlikely that you would start menstruating again if you take enough Royal Maca to relieve your vaginal atrophy and other dry skin issues. To help your dry skin, you might also take an oil high in Omega 3 which is known to be helpful for skin health. Our Royal Camu is also helpful for skin health since it is so high in natural Vitamin C complex and is far more effective than taking a synthetic “made in the laboratory” ascorbic acid.

Q: How can you enhance the antioxidant properties of a good diet with fresh fruits and vegetables?
A: According to some impressive research, by supplementing your diet with Cat’s Claw Tea or an alcohol-liquid extract.
Research published in the Journal of Food Chemistry suggests that Cat’s Claw( Uncaria tomentosa) possesses higher antioxidant properties than the fruits, vegetables, grains and other medicinal plants which were also tested.
The Cat’s Claw was tested in two ways: as an aqueous extract (a traditional tea prepared by simmering the bark in hot water) and as an alcoholic extract. Both types of extracts were prepared from the bark as it grows in nature, not a patented formula in which certain types of alkaloids were removed. Both of these extracts were found to contain a high TEAC level. TEAC stands for trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity.
The trolox (a form of Vitamin E) equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay is a popular method for assessing the capacity of a compound to scavenge a form of free radicals known as ABTS*.
ABTS is a chemical compound frequently used by the food industry and agricultural researchers to measure the antioxidant capacities of foods.[1] The ABTS [free] radical form is reactive towards most antioxidants including phenolics, thiols and Vitamin C The reactivity of the various antioxidants tested are compared to that of Trolox, which is a vitamin E analog using the TEAC test. In this case, the ABTS antioxidant capacity of Cat’s Claw—Uncaria tomentosa—was measured and compared to a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains. Cat’s Claw came out on top.

Q: I have multiple hormone imbalances including cystic ovaries, a high DHT level and a burning scalp. Would Royal Maca help?
A: Doctors in Peru use organic precooked maca to help regulate cystic ovaries. Published research on the effects of maca show that it supports healthy estradiol and progesterone levels and that it reduces DHT levels in animals. Doctors suggest 2 capsules a day for perimenopausal women. You might also try taking at the same time Royal Camu (Camu-Camu) which is very high in natural Vitamin C complex. This product is helpful for modulating hormone balance, reducing your body’s reaction to stress (and these two subjects are interrelated), as well as helping with all kinds of skin conditions.
