Title: Maca and HRT
Post by: Noheroicsplease on June 03, 2018, 07:32:23 AM

i'm on HRT but struggling with fatigue a fair bit. Enough to want to consider taking an alternative supplement like MACA on top of my HRT.

But will be problematic to mix?

Found this that might be of interest to and help you make your own decision, personally I would not take it along side HRT, but others might differ in their opinion.

MACA its claimed helps the body to produce its own estrogen but does not contain estrogen, as it is a member of the crucible  family its possible it could effect the thyroid.

There is lots of information out there so its best to research and decide.

Hiya, I found this post from a few years ago and have signed up with menopausematters as I am in the process of trialing/experimenting with Maca and HRT on myself. In the meantime, has any new information surfaced for this combination?
