If you experience mild indigestion after taking maca powder, try not to combine it with any fruits of fruit juice.
Please note that it’s very important to make regular breaks when taking maca. It might be best to consume it every day for a few weeks in the beginning of the course. However, after 4-6 weeks, start taking ‘a day off’. You can also ‘rest’ for 5-7 days in one go, instead of going one day a week without maca.
