Anyone have any experiences with Maca Root?

I've surprisingly seen very little on Reddit or anywhere really about the effects/benefits of Maca Root (besides herb selling websites). I have been taking this stuff for about a week now at about 5000 mgs a day in 3 divided doses. Let me tell you, I find this stuff to be incredible. I haven't had a drop of caffeine in the entire week I've been taking Maca. Haven't needed it. Also, my mood is most certainly starting to elevate, my workouts at the gym have doubled in intensity, and to top it off, it's extremely healthy. Maca is chock full of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. And as an adaptogen, it balances your whacked out endocrine system. One more thing, it's cheap as $hiz. Check this stuff out ladies and gentlemen!
I'm trying to find some others out there who have ingested this wonderful tuber and who would like to share their experiences. Anyone?

An improvement in sexual desire was observed with Maca since 8 weeks of treatment. Serum testosterone and oestradiol levels were not different in men treated with Maca and in those treated with placebo (P:NS).

Maca improved sperm production and sperm motility by mechanisms not related to LH, FSH, PRL, T and E2.

Looks interesting! Perhaps it would be a good addition to a noopept stack, since that seems to lower libido. Maybe they would balance each other out.
Where do you get it, and do you just take it in capsules?
