maca root contraindications
Maca root is generally well tolerated by healthy adults, but it is not right for everyone. People with a maca or cruciferous allergy, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should avoid it, while anyone with a thyroid condition, a hormone-sensitive condition, kidney or liver disease, or those taking blood thinners or blood pressure medication should talk to a doctor first. This guide breaks down each group with cited evidence, covers daily-use limits and product-quality risks such as heavy metal contamination, and ends with a simple checklist for discussing maca with your healthcare provider.
