If you are taking maca & are experiencing unwanted side effects from the maca you are using, first lower the dose. If that doesn't make the side effects go away, switch it up. That's usually all it takes, and then you can continue to use it and reap the benefits. What I mean by switch it up is this: If you're using raw, switch to gelatinized. If you're using powder, switch to capsules. If you're using yellow maca, switch to red or black, or a blend. You don't have to do all of these switches at once, but I did prioritize them in that list, from most effective switch (lowered dose), to the least effective switch (variety of the maca) that would help with making your side effects go away.
