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.

`` stimulating the pituitary to produce and secrete the precursor hormones, which in tern, elevate estrogen, and testosterone levels``

 

Here are a few old posts related to Maca

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.
