hey
i just wanted to throw in there.
PLEASE be careful if you have any blood pressure problems..
a lot of these herbs can raise/lower BP so you can imagine you take the wrong herb at the wrong dose and your in trouble.
this happened to me and I ended up with blood pressure drop due to herbs (goats rue similar to fenugreek) and ended up in hospital with my chin split open cause I collapsed.
maca for me at a doses of 500mg seemed tolerable but when I upped it to 1000mg too soon one day I ended up with terrfifying heart palplitations off and on so be mindful of any herbs you plan to take and if possible run them past a local naturopath or herbalist to make sure they wont interefere with your high BP.
im tall and slim too and can sympathise, its REAL hard for us to gain but I really think diet can help and yes the right herbs with the heeded advice above.
good luck
