I’ve had amazing results preparing the cat’s claw tea and sipping it over a day.

Here is what’s improved:

No more acid indigestion a couple hours after I eat.

Greater energy (unexpected).

Also, strangely, I can eat and digest carbs, sugars better (which I’d really cut down before the tea).

Thanks!
Karen

DIM is converted to red-brown metabolites in the body, thereby causing harmless changes in urine color. The color change is usually unnoticeable in people who consume enough water each day. It only becomes apparent in people who have little water intake. Therefore, by increasing water intake, the urine color change can be reversed back to normal color.

Directions: Take 2 Royal Maca® capsules daily with breakfast.  If you are hypersensitive to herbs or to drugs, take only 1 capsule daily.

If you are on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), please follow directions for getting off HRT before starting Royal Maca®.

Women with skipped periods, hot flashes, and other menopausal symptoms, please read Royal Maca® booklet for more dosing information.

Whole World Botanicals has been surprised and delighted to receive feedback from hundreds of women with hypothyroid issues who have benefited greatly upon taking Royal Maca®.  Most of them were having other hormonal imbalances, such as PMS, perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms and discovered “accidentally” how much better they felt when combing Royal Maca® with their thyroid medication. In some cases, they even faxed WWB their “before” and “after” results of their hormone thyroid test in order to show us how much they had benefited.

Please see the test results of one such woman sent to us.

WARNING: Consult a physician if you are on birth control pills or have a hormone related cancer.  You may consider, with your health care practitioners consent, to take our Royal Maca® Plus with DIM for Women.

Women who want to get off of conventional HRT, bioidentical hormones, precursor hormones such as pregnenolone and HgH or HgH precursors, estrogen suppositories, estrogenic herbs like black cohosh, red clover, or isoflavones of soy need to STOP these hormones and estrogenic herbs, as well as adaptogenic herbs, such as ginseng.

Royal Maca works best by itself.   Although there is no contraindication for using progesterone cream with it, it is probably unnecessary as maca root appears to increase the body’s production of progesterone and testosterone, as well as DHEA.

Going Cold Turkey

It takes about 4 weeks for both animal and plant hormones to leave your body.  Many women find that the least painful way to make the transition from hormone replacement to the maca root is to stop cold turkey for the first two weeks.  If you had hot flashes before you started taking hormones, it is almost certain that they will return.  After two weeks of taking nothing, you can start taking one capsule a day of Royal Maca. At the beginning of the 4th week, you can take two capsules a day.  You will probably continue to experience your hot flashes however.

After four weeks of NO hormones, you can increase your dosage of Royal Maca as follows**:

If your hot flashes are MILD, (1 or 2 a day) take 3 caps (1/2 tsp. of powder daily).

If your hot flashes are MODERATE, (3 - 5 a day or night sweats), you can start with 4 a day.  Evaluate after a week.  Increase to 6 capsules daily if your hot flashes are not 80% better.

If your hot flashes are SEVERE (more than 6 daily and frequent night sweats), start with 6 capsules a day for 5 days.  Then if necessary, increase to 9 a day for another 5 days.  If you still need more Royal Maca to control the hot flashes, you might want to take 2 tsp. of Royal Maca Powder, which is more economical.  Some women might need as much as one tablespoon (= 3 tsp.) a day of Royal Maca Powder.  (One tsp. of powder = 6 caps)

** Women who are petite with light body weight or highly sensitive to small amounts of herbs or pharmaceutical drugs will want to cut the dosages in half.

WARNING: Consult a physician if you are on birth control pills or have a hormone related cancer.  You may consider, with your health care practitioners consent, to take our Royal Maca® Plus with DIM for Women.

4-10 caps 3 times a week:

for men seeking a dramatic effect the same day.

(Usually doesn’t work if you repeat every day.)

6 caps or one tsp. every day for 30 days OR until period comes–which ever comes first.

If still no period after 30 days: increase to 12 caps or 2 tsp. daily for 30 days or until period comes.

If still no period, she is probably pregnant.

Once period comes, for the next month, reduce dosage to one half of what it was: for most women, that means 3 caps daily or 1/2 tsp. daily.  If period comes within 30 days, can keep on same schedule or can reduce to 2 caps (1/3 tsp) for the third month.  This should then be a steady dosage, but women could try 6 days/week instead of 7.

For Young women with painful periods, heavy periods, PMS, mood swings: 2 caps daily (or 1/3 tsp)

For Perimenopausal Women (women in late 30′s through age 50 who have a period even if irregular: to control PMS, mood swings, migraine headaches, hot flashes, low energy, & to support bone strength:

Start with 2 caps a day (1/3 tsp) for 30 days or until period comes.  If this dosage is not completely effective, go up to 3 caps daily (1/2 tsp) for the second month.  This should work really well.

For Highly Sensitive Women: They should start with as little as 1/2 of one capsule or just a pinch of the Royal Maca and build up slowly from there.

Symptoms of Taking Too Much Royal Maca: Increase in Hot Flashes! Irritability or Anxiety. Insomnia. Headaches.  If this happens, STOP for one day, then cut your dose in half.

For Women in Menopause who have not had a period for at least 8 months to several years: with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, poor sleep, mood swings, loss of libido:

These women can increase their dosage every 5 to 7 days as needed.  If symptoms are

Mild: start at 2 caps daily.

Moderate: start at 3 caps daily.

Severe: start at 4 caps daily.

When symptoms are 80% better stop increasing dosage. There will be a build up effect and symptoms will continue to improve as you should feel better.

Thank you for your prompt reply.  This makes sense as it was working beautifully at one cap a day.  I’ve tried every herbal recommendation on the market and was thrilled that I had success with Royal Maca.
What a life saver!

I am 49 years old and have been taking Royal Maca® for peri-menopause symptoms. I had noticed in the last couple of years that I was experiencing more severe PMS along with Pre-menstrual cramping and very heavy periods. Also my periods were coming closer together (every 24-25 days) Since I have been taking the Royal Maca, my PMS has gone away and I no longer have cramping or heavy periods, also my periods are very regular at 27 days. So I have been very happy with the outcome.

“I used to get severe migraine headaches a week before my period each month.  They are completely gone now since I started taking Royal Maca (two capsules daily).  I can’t believe it.  I had tried everything else to get rid of these migraines.”  Leslie G., New Jersey
