Maca for SSRI sexual dysfunction

Posted by iansf on April 29, 2014, at 9:52:08

Has anyone tried this?

"The second study, which was published in the CHS Neuroscience & Therapeutics journal in 2008, sought to determine whether maca root could treat sexual dysfunction that was induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), i.e. antidepressants. Once again, the results were positive: of the 20 male and female tested, those that were fed high doses (3 grams) of maca per day exhibited a significant improvement in their Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) scores, while those that were fed low doses (1.5 grams) exhibited a minor improvement. The researchers concluded that maca root could provide a dose-related alleviation of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, and also noted that it "may also have a beneficial effect on libido."
