Maca offsets SSRI-related sexual side effects:
- SSRI sexual dysfunction is dose dependent and highly variable
- A double-blind randomized pilot study at Mass General tested maca root in 20 remitted depressed outpatients
- Dose ranged from 1.5 grams up to 3 grams of maca per day
- Libido improved significantly in that group
- A separate 12-week study in healthy men used the same 1,500 to 3,000 mg range: libido rose with no change in testosterone or estradiol
- Work with a physician or qualified psychiatrist
