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.
