"My PMS is Gone but can Royal Maca® mace Your Period Come early?"
Dr. Viana Muller, Cofounder of Whole World Botanicals recently received this email from a customer
Q: I have been taking the Royal Maca for Women with DIM with success, but I am wondering if I am taking too much. I am taking 2 capsules per day every day but Sunday since Christmastime. I'm getting my period every three weeks like clockwork instead of every four. Otherwise I feel great. I don’t have any more PMS and my periods are easier. Do you have any dosing suggestions? I am a 33-year old female with Hashimoto’s Syndrome.
A: Yes, if you are getting your period every 3 weeks, you are definitely taking too much! Ordinarily two capsules a day of Royal Maca would be an average dose for a 33 year old woman but the Royal Maca Plus for Women with DIM can have almost double the effects of the regular Royal Maca.
That’s because the DIM (diindolylmethane) – a breakdown product from cruciferous veggie family (like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) helps regulate estrogen metabolism in such a positive way. It can reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 50% and also helps reduce hot flashes! When you combine DIM with U.S.D.A. certified organic, precooked, sundried Royal Maca
– you’ve got a very powerful combo product for hormone balance. For some women, like yourself, just one capsule a day will help create a wonderful hormone balance in your body. And, as you probably already know, it is fine to take with Synthroid, Armour or other thyroid hormone products.
