I tried Maca a few years ago.
It did increase libido .. and energy. However, anything that does that, is a stimulant. It also caused a crash after a few weeks.

If your arenals are stronger, you might be able to handle the stimulation longer. But it doesn`t mean that it is good for you
I believe Maca, Rhodiola, Ginseng, and other stimulants are playing with fire for AF folks.
