How does ULTRA MACA compare to other menopause herbs like Black Cohosh and woman's formulas?</B><p>

Ultra Maca provides the ingredients to support menopause health.  Its action differs from other herbs and formulas in that it does not provide supplemental hormones to the body.  It helps the body produce its own more balanced and healthy hormone levels.  Ultra Maca is known to reduce or eliminate Hot Flashes and to support Libido, Vaginal Lubrication and many other benefits of healthy hormone levels.  Black Cohosh, Licorice root and Soy products all contain WEAK plant phyto-estrogens.  Many women do not notice a significant difference in how they feel while taking plant estrogen formulas.  For that reason, we feel that Ultra Maca is a better choice, because it helps to balance the endocrine glands.  It boosts hormone levels - it does not replace hormones.  Women who have had hysterectomies have also benefited from using Ultra Maca.<p>

<B>Can ULTRA MACA be taken safely, in combination with hormones such as DHEA, Thyroid Replacement Drugs, Phytoestrogenic herbs such as Black Cohosh, Soy or Estrogen, Progesterone or Testosterone Hormone Replacement therapy?</B><p>

No negative effects have ever been reported from taking Ultra Maca in combination with these hormone supplements.  However, many people stop self medicating with precursor hormones and take only Ultra Maca and natural progesterone.<p>

<B>Does taking ULTRA MACA support the maintenance of healthy bones?</B><p>

Yes.  Since Ultra Maca is known to support healthy estrogen and progesterone levels in women, it is helpful in the maintenance of healthy bones.  Substantial research has confirmed the link between a healthy estrogen level in older women and healthy bones.  But Ultra Maca cannot be considered as a treatment for any woman who has a family history of osteoporosis or who herself has osteroporosis.  Such a woman is strongly advised to consult a physician about her condition.<p>

<B>What is the suggested usage of ULTRA MACA for men and women?</B><p>

Start by taking 1/2 teaspoon of powder daily preferably in the morning.  Ultra Maca does not have to be taken with meals.  Significant to dramatic improvement should occur in 5 days.  If not, increase dosage every 3 days by 1/2 teaspoon of powder.  Every person has a different biochemistry so the dosage of Maca, will vary.  Once you feel the improvement, stay on that amount for 2 weeks, then gradually cut back to 1 teaspoon of powered Ultra Maca a day.
