People are sleeping on ND’s maca

ND’s maca has seriously been a jack of all trades after adding it to my stack. I’ve noticed mood boost, verbal fluency boost, huge libido boost with increased sensitivity and doubling the amount of times I do it, faster thinking, more motivation, more energy/endurance in the gym, better mental clarity, less anxiety, more confidence.
I think the trick was that like everyone else, I gave up on it quickly when I didn’t feel much the first day or two. I decided to give it another chance to build in my system. And it gradually increased until by day 3 I noticed these effects and they keep increasing by the day.
After I began to feel these, I did some light reading and found that it boosts serotonin, dopamine, balances hormones, supports mitochondrial function, is an adaptogen, improves blood flow, supports memory, learning speed, and neuroplasticity.
Even more impressive was pairing it with 3g of citrulline and 6g of arginine, which made my member harder each day over a 3 day period paired with maca. I got better effects with that then with some of ND’s other blood flow like horny goat weed 50% and better libido effects than tribulus.
I think the real kicker is the balancing ho…

OP, I don’t think anyone here is denying that ND’s maca is good, it’s just not as good as themacateams imo.
Also maca taking time to build in your system in order to feel noticeable benefits isn’t something thats inherent to ND’s brand.
Thats the case with all maca products.

They are just fundamentally different products. Ours has more macamides than anyone, by a mile. However, those act on the endocannabinoid system, which not everyone responds to the same. Other maca products are more heavily on the glucosinolate side, which have different mechanisms. We didn't go that route for one reason, and one reason alone: normal maca fucked my stomach up for like 6 months. I was so sick, I passed out on the floor from the pain. Ever since then, I can't have any normal maca. My body has developed an allergy to it because of that. Our maca extract was a long development process to create a maca that I could take, and that would not fuck my stomach up again. That's why it is very different than everything else out there. A lot of our shit is like that I develop specialized products for myself, then release them so other people have access to them.
That being said, we are releasing a more traditional black maca soon that will be really nice. It's just not nice for me. I tried it twice during testing, and my stomach was not happy. I will not be taking the new one, but that's okay. Not every product is right for everyone. It's just hard for me to develop ones when I don't react well to them. I have to rely on beta testers at our office, and see how /u/Pretty-Chill responds. He likes the new black maca blend, though. So hopefully everyone else does, too. I just won't be personally taking it.
