I just started Mighty Maca plus and feel a lot of detoxification/stomach issues/bloating. What should I do?Updated 6 months ago

The most common "intolerance" to this product is detoxification (this is what makes Mighty Maca so good!) that happens quite quickly when you begin using Mighty Maca. This can cause things like headaches, gas and bloating, digestive issues and just generally feeling badly. If these are your symptoms, just know that detoxification is a GOOD thing, even though it may be uncomfortable during the process. The symptoms usually pass within a few days to a week and a good electrolyte supplement, like LMNT powder or Tri-Salts (both of which Dr. Anna recommends), can help a lot.

If you have a very sensitive digestive system to begin with, adding this product may exasperate it temporarily. Dr. Anna's Mighty Maca is generally well tolerated by most women and contains a number of other helpful ingredients that help with energy, hormone balance, and increased nutrition.

Some people may need to reduce the dosage of Mighty Maca Plus to half or even less and then gradually increase it over time so your body slowly goes through the detox and becomes accustomed to the rich fiber and green healthy gut nutrients. If you are suffering with gut health issues, Dr. Anna highly recommends taking a high quality probiotic like her product, Gut Thrive as well as digestive enzymes- Keto-Green Enzymes.
