Good

Arrived very quickly and well packed.I'm about 2 weeks in to using it and have not experienced any negative side effects.I think energy levels have improved after a week or so of use. It is gradual and not immediately noticeable.Pretty good overall

I have been using a variety of maca powders for the past 3 years. I was curious to try a black/purple maca after listening to a podcast from the superfood hunter, Darren Olien.The very first thing that I noticed is that the potency of this product is very high. 2 pills of this product is far more potent than 1 tablespoon of a gelatinized maca powder. They also have benefits that go beyond the standard tan maca. Black maca has an incredible aphrodisiac like effect. I would say that the effect is similar to an extract of fenugreek. It has uplifting qualities that you can almost immediately feel. While there is not a lot of research on this topic, my guess is that it has to do with the fact that black maca has hormone regulatory effects. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product, unless someone is super sensitive to adaptogenic substances.

I have been using this product for a couple of weeks along with an entire stack of other supplements. I am not sure exactly what the Maca is doing separately from the other supplements, but I seem to be needing less sleep.The thing that I can say about this product is that by doing a bit of comparison shopping between other brands, it appears that the Herbolab Maca generally has a higher concentration (1:6 root concentrate) and a higher percentage of dark roots (95%) than other brands. For example, I believe that BulkSupplements Maca is predominantly yellow roots. I need to educate myself further to see what this means with respect to expected efficacy. Meanwhile, I think that this is a good product to start with for anyone wanting to try out Maca because HerboLab seems to care very much about customer support and verifying the quality of their products.

I have been taking Herbolab's Maca capsules for about 6-7 months and it definitely is working as advertised. The Maca capsules are helping (along with Herbolab's Tongkat Ali capsules) to regulate and balance my hormonal system, increase my energy and stamina and definitely increase my desire. I have said in another review for another supplement (since I talk all of Herbolab's products) that each supplement they offer focuses on different or complementary areas. Herbolab is definitely a supplement that has increased my desire (sex drive). As I also have stated in other Herbolab reviews, I only take 1/2 the recommended dosage and still feed the benefits (i.e., I only take 2 Maca capsules per day vs. 4 that are recommended and still feel its benefits). Herbolab Maca also helps with energy/stamina (notice it when I'm working out at the gym) and with creating a higher volume of ejaculate (and so probably sperm motility as well which can be important if you are trying to get pregnant). Lastly, all of Herbolab's supplements are high-quality products made from higher and better quality ingredients and include the best processing methods for making them. I highly recommend Herbolab Maca!

Since I started using Herbolab Maca I have notice an increase in my stamina and focus, unlike other products that I have used in the past that just did not seem to work.I HIGHLY recommend using all of Herbolab products in a stack which I started doing by adding one product per week to the stack in order to gauge the results.From my experience the results far exceed other products that I have tried in the past.
