Goodmorning Isabelle,
Yes I know been a while on here for me.. How are you doing. I see you are experimenting with new things Well I made up my mind that I only will take PM a few days a month if that or may not even touch, and decided to take maca again for all of its nutrients:
PLANT CHEMICALS
The nutritional value of dried maca root is high, resembling those of cereal grains such as maize, rice, and wheat. It contains 60-75% carbohydrates, 10-14% protein, 8.5% fiber, and 2.2% lipids. The protein content of maca exists mainly in the form of polypeptides and amino acids (including significant amounts of arginine, serine, histidine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and threonine). It also has about 250 mg of calcium, 2 g of potassium, and 15 mg of iron in 100 g of dried root-and important amounts of fatty acids (including linolenic, palmitic, and oleic acids). Maca contains sterols (about 0.05% to 0.1%) and other vitamins and minerals. In addition to its rich supply of essential nutrients, maca contains alkaloids, tannins, and saponins.
A chemical analysis conducted in 1981 showed the presence of biologically active aromatic isothiocyanates (a common chemical found in the mustard family of plants and shown to be a wood preservative and insecticide). Chemical research shows maca root contains a chemical called p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which has reputed aphrodisiac properties. At least four alkaloids are also present but have not yet been quantified. Fresh maca root contains about 1% glucosinolates-plant chemicals found in many plants in the family Brassicaceae (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables). While no novel glucosinolates have been reported in maca yet, several of the chemicals found in this group of known plant chemicals are documented to be cancer-preventive.
Maca's main plant chemicals include: alkaloids, amino acids, beta-ecdysone, calcium, carbohydrates, fatty acids, glucosinolates, iron, magnesium, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, phosphorus, potassium, protein, saponins, sitosterols, stigmasterol, tannins, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.

I also found out it is very high in iodine so be careful.. anyway I am just taking maca and just started back in yesterday, starting at a very low dose and then move up as needed. Mainly doing for skin and the awesome nutrients .. It is also high in L-arginine and other esst. aminos and a whole bunch of dam good stuff for tita growing IMO..see what I copied and pasted above from the link following..Oh also it will help my booty and hopefully titas.. but as of now my titas have grown but I think it is from gaining my weight back..but I am overflowing my go to bra to see how the titas look and it isnt lose anymore..it is actually getting too small I asked my man if he thinks they are getting bigger and without hesitasion sp? he said yes..
Oh me and my man are doing really great.. now just need a job and things will get way better..
Later all..
