Is It Safe To Have Maca Root Supplement To Gain Weight?

Hi, I am a petite female age 21 about 110lbs and 5 3 . I am taking Orsythia birth control pills but am also interested in trying a maca root supplement for energy and weight gain. Is this a safe combination for my health, and for the effectiveness of my contraceptive? Thank you

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me tell you something that no method of contraception is hundred per cent effective, more over this may have some side effects, whatever combination you used, better to avoid this, have a nice day.
