Hi Susan,
Sorry I took a while to answer this:
"Hey your feeling shoots..
so is it from the combo of the maca and FG..
what do you think of the flax seed in the porridge last night
cause I remember you did that once before and the next day you had tingling.."
This is what I took:
Saturday August 6
Beer yeast and vitamin C
3,000 mg maca
2,000 mg fenugreek
+ 1,000 mg fenugreek before dinner, no swelling
2,000 mg hops + 1 tbsp flax seed
Sunday August 7
multivitamin "super hair formula"
4,000 mg maca, shoots 3 hours later
4,000 mg fenugreek with dinner, no swelling
2,000 mg hops + 3 tbsp oat flakes
Monday August 8
4,000 mg maca, dull shoots 1-2 hours later. Excellent sex drive 5-6 hours later
4,000 mg fenugreek before dinner, no swelling
multivitamin "hair skin nails"
2,000 mg hops + 1 tbsp flax seed
The shoots are within hours after maca, but before fenugreek. So I think it's the maca. Flax may have helped by increasing SHBG. SHBG bound the free testosterone, and released it later so it could become estrogen. This is different from what I thought was happening when flax worked well before:

The oat flakes decrease SHBG. The DHEA from the maca the next morning becomes testosterone in 5-6 hours, and there is less SHBG to bind it. That would explain the sex drive. I will continue to alternate oat flakes and flax seed, to see if this happens every time.
What doesn't seem to work is the fenugreek. I will take it hours before dinner tomorrow to see if it causes swelling.
