It’s a supplement made from a root vegetable that grows on the Andes mountains in Peru: Maca powder. I first found out about Maca powder about 4 years ago through one of my favorite authors: John Grey. I was just scrolling through his website and was watching his videos. Then, I watched a video about testosterones and estrogens and how they exactly work. As he was explaining about estrogens, he mentioned Maca powder and pointed out the importance & benefits of this supplement for women and that we should be taking this daily.
