A: It is simpler to try the regular Royal Maca first. Once in a while a woman may have trouble assimilating maca and the same thing can happen with DIM. If you start by taking both together, you won’t know which one might be the one you’re having trouble with.
You can start with one capsule daily (unless you weigh 115 lbs. or less – in that case, start with one capsule every other day) for the first month. It’s best to begin taking Royal Maca in the first week of your cycle–even the first day of your period is fine. Evaluate your results with this dosage at the end (approximately four weeks later) of your menstrual cycle. If your cycle is normal, then you have the right dosage for you. If your period is better but not as good as you would like, increase dosage during the second menstrual cycle as follows: alternate every day between one and two capsules (e.g. Mon. – 1, Tues. – 2, Wed. – 1 etc.)
If this is not totally satisfactory either, then the third month you can increase to 2 caps every day. If you don’t end up with satisfactory results, then you could start with Royal Maca Plus with DIM. Even if you get satisfactory results with the regular Royal Maca, you might want to consider trying the Plus product in order to get the benefits of a reduction in the risk of developing an estrogen-dependent cancer.
