    I love it. It seems to have a stimulant effect.

    Maca is awesome. I use it all the time in my smoothies, and whenever I make Chia pudding.

    Not sure if I feel the benefits, but i love how it tastes

    I think the taste of maca is awful. So I don't mix it into my smooothies. Just a bit of juice and take it like a shot. The effects for me seem to be with my enhanced sex drive and my boners are bigger. My wife says she noticed it too. Anyone else notice this effect? The brand I have is Navita Naturals.

    You need to gauge what amount works best with your body.

    Im pretty sure its not supposed to be eaten raw. It has thyroid inhibitors and can cause digestive problems.

    Any truth to it helping anxiety?

    OK I've started taking it in a powdered form but so far I can't find anything to mix with it that masks/compliments the taste. Any advice?

    @Stephanos, you mention it has thyroid inhibitors, do you know if it would be beneficial for someone who has hypothyroidism?

    I'm not a big fan of the taste of Maca myself but love the effects it has on my well being! Maca seems to go great with Cacao. My fav way of incorporating it in my diet is in a hot cereal pudding of sorts. I pour about a half cup of chia seeds in a big bowl. I add a heaping spoon full of cacao and about a spoon full of maca. Then I add about a cup of hot water, stir and let it sit for 5mins or so, to gel. I then mix in any dried fruit I have around, tho my favorite is dried cherries! I'll then pour in some nut milk if I got any, slice a banana on top and sweeten with honey! Endless possibilities really! I also find it can work well in bold hot teas like a good black chai or a herbal cinnamon apple.
    Hope that helps!

    Seconding the question about what's better, pills or powder. I'm thinking about testing some out.

    If any of you have not tried maca in its powdered form as a daily supplement, I cannot urge you strongly enough to try it.

    I'm on day 7 of raking maca 3 times a day. Can't say noticed much difference yet. I've been supier healthy tho, more down to sport and yoga, so maybe it's helped sustain me in this. Hard to tell for now

    Spammer... username nath5212 has post counts of 1 or 2 on forums all over the internet, always hyperlinking to the same store for buying maca powder

    See for example (notice his clever linkage in the quote instead of his own post, classic spammer method): http://www.pegym.com/forums/beginners-forum/6912-maca-3.html#post658837
