Q: Can someone take maca with progesterone?
A: Usually, it works out O.K. Taking the combination doesn’t cause increased hot flashes or insomnia or irritability – all of these are common problems if estrogen and Royal Maca are taken together. But there is absolutely no need to take this combo because Royal Maca straightens out very quickly estrogen dominance problems. Many times Whole World Botanicals gets feedback from customers who tell us that they have been taking progesterone for many months for certain issues related to estrogen dominance – but without success. To be fair to natural progesterone supplements (made in the laboratory from diosgenin derived from wild yams), they have been known to be helpful for mild hot flashes and mood swings. Progesterone supplements, however, are not notable for improving vaginal dryness or libido or some of the other common hormonal imbalances which plague so many women and for which their physicians have no answers.
