Maca Root and Insomnia

I just started taking maca root - 1 pill a day and I have insomnia. Will this go away?

Maca Root and Insomnia

This is a common side effect
by: Admin

Insomnia seems to be a very common side effect with the maca root plant.

Certain people don't react well to the types of stimulants in maca root. Usually people who are up all night from drinking coffee later in the day may also experience trouble sleeping with maca root.

If it was the very first day it may just be something else. If it continues then reduce your dosage. You mentioned you're already taking just one pill, therefore if it continues then maca root just might not be good for you :(

Don't worry, there are many cases where people have trouble sleeping with this supplement. This is a common side effect. If it continues then stop taking it.

Depending on your health condition, there may be some alternative supplements available for the reasons you're taking maca root. Feel free to post further questions.

MACA Pros and Cons
by: Anonymous

I'm taking one capsule of MACASURE per day, in the morning time and I have major insomnia at night. However, when I stop, everything returns like the lack of energy, lethargy etc.during the day. It's really the best thing I've tried so far. How do I reconcile this discrepancy? Is there any company that sells MACA in lower doses? I would really like to continue taking this product.

Try maca powder, or a different energy supplement
by: Admin

If you want to continue using maca but in a lower dosage than you get in a capsule form, you might want to try maca powder.

This way you can supplement as little as you want and you might find a dosage that works well for you.

A recommended maca powder is Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Maca Powder

Now, for some people maca will always cause certain minor side effects like insomnia.

There is a great alternative to maca root in a supplement called Natural Energy from Xtend Life.

This supplement may prevent energy slumps throughout the day and it's a great natural way to increase your energy.
