Notes
Note 1: Maca is a functional food and will often be found in the health food aisle at supermarkets. While I have suggested using one teaspoon in this recipe - get the best from your product by buying a good quality powder and following the recommended dosage and suggested length of supplementation on the packet. Current recommendations state doses should be between 1.5 – 3 grams (usually 1 teaspoon) per day taken for up to 4 months (4).
Who shouldn’t take maca? If you are pregnant, lactating or have a medical condition - discuss whether maca is appropriate for you with your primary health practitioner.
