Maca Root

in Parenting after 35

Does anyone know anything about this peruvian vegetable? I just bought some extract to help balance my hormones - i figure i could use it after everything my body has undergone in the past year. i asked my pediatrician if she knew if it was safe to use whilst breastfeeding but she didn't know, but said that she trusted my judgment and my ability to research. ugh.  there have been a billion trials showing its efficancy but not its safety when nursing - i know that some women use it while pregnant too..argh. i actually bought a product that doesn't just have maca root in it but also JATOBA, ASTRAGALUS, SUMA, DIOSCOREA, SARSAPARILLA, Oat Seed Extract.

Does anyone know anything about this?

    If Edbetsy doesn't have an answer for you, you might try the Eco Friendly Family board. They might know something about it.

    I called her at work, she says she's heard of it but doesn't know if it's safe to use while breastfeeding.  She will ask a coworker and get back to me.  Sorry I wansn't able to help.Sad
