Yeah, and testoterone can be converted into either estrogen and DHT. I wonder if blocking DHT formation or receptors would cause an increase in estrogen from taking maca? Assuming you already don't have excess estrogen, I think Maca is probably best added in your follicular phase so that it can aid with increasing estrogen. I'm not sure about estrogen dominant gals using it.
Though admittedly, I did tried out Maca for a month last year, and my butts and boobs got slightly bigger. My boyfriend noticed it too. But for some reason, after that 1 month, I didn't see any more growth from taking more maca. Still confuses me to now.
