Maca or black maca: what is the difference?

It is the same root from the Andes (Lepidium meyenii), just in a different colour. We have both as organic powder and as 500 mg capsules, such as maca powder and black maca powder. Choose one of the two; the difference in colour and taste is explained in black maca vs yellow maca.

Shilajit resin or capsules?

Resin is the pure, sticky form: once or twice a day you dissolve a pea-sized amount (about 100 mg) in warm, not boiling water, tea or milk. Capsules contain 500 mg extract with 5% or 50% fulvic acid and are easier if you do not want to measure anything. More in how to take shilajit resin.

Ginseng, tribulus and ashwagandha KSM-66: how do you take them?

All three are capsules you take with water, preferably during or just after a meal. According to the product pages:

• Panax ginseng capsules: 1 to 2 a day (500 mg root extract), no longer than three months in a row.
• Tribulus terrestris capsules: 1 a day (500 mg extract of fruit and root).
• Ashwagandha KSM-66 capsules: 1 a day (500 mg KSM-66 root extract).

Can you combine them?

Yes. Choose one form of maca and of shilajit, start with one product at a time and stick to the daily dose on the pack for each product.

Who should not use them?

According to the product pages, ginseng and tribulus are not intended for children and adolescents under 18. Rhodiola rosea is for adults only, is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding and should not be used for more than three months in a row. Ginseng can affect the action of blood thinners and diabetes medication. Do not use ashwagandha if you have or have had a liver condition. Do you take medication or have a medical condition? Talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
