Does Maca Vitamins Increase Sexual Desire In Women?
I have been on Depo Provera birth control method for about 3 1/2 months now. I just recently recieved my second assigned shot about a few days ago. I notice that my sexual desire has decreased a little and looking into taking Maca vitamins to help boost it. Doing a little research I have noticed that Maca is suppose to enhance fertility as well as sexual desire. Is taking Maca vitamins lower my effectivness on my birth control since they are both oppoiste? I will like to know because I really don't want to get pregnant right now even if my chances are 50/50.

Hi,

It reduce blood pressure, and depression in menopausal age. Dose is 1 tsp in one cup of milk with half tsp ground cinnamon and honey and pinch of salt. Warm this and drink it for 6 to 12 weeks.
