Question: My dr prescribed me 100 mg of progesterone. Can I take Maca as well as the progesterone? I haven't started either one yet. But have read about the many qualities Maca has on the endocrine system.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about maca with progesterone.

Following is my reply:

1) Maca can be taken with progesterone injections.

2) This will not cause any counterproductive mechanism of action. You can take them both.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

I haven't received my prescription yet but it is my understanding that it is a pill, not an injection. It is micro progesterone caps 100 mg. Would that make a difference?

Brief Answer:
This would not make difference

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are different brands available in market about the progesterone. There are injections, vaginal suppositories and oral tablets. You can use any of them for progesterone support as per your doctor's prescription. Almost all serve the same purpose.

These progesterone medicines are not affected by maca. Dont worry about it.
