Brief Answer:
Maca is contraindicated in patients with thyroid conditions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

1.From your medical history i can deduct that you have a multinodular goitre under control and with a regular follow-up.
(I am curious to know your thyroid test results(TSH, T3 and T4), to understand your actual thyroid function.)

2.Maca has been used commonly as a food by native Andean people because of its high nutritional value as well as to enhance fertility and sexual performance.
Numerous studies on the aphrodisiac and fertility-enhancing properties of maca are documented in scientific literature.

Maca is available commercially in several dosage forms including powder, liquid, tablets, and capsules and generaly it is recommend a daily dose of 1 dried maca extract 450 mg capsule 3 times daily taken orally with food.

It has a wide use ,it is true.But it is very important to know that: Patients with thyroid conditions should avoid maca because glucosinolates taken in excess and combined with a low-iodine diet can cause goiter.

So,in your case, my advice is to avoid it because it can be harmful for you.

Hope I have clarified your doubts. If you have any further queries, please feel free to ask.You can contact me at HealthCareMagic at my private link:

Brief Answer:
No,the low vit D does not change my recommandation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

1.From you test results ,i can deduct that your thyroid have the tendency of hyperthyroidism.(you are in the limits of the normal ranges)

In this case my advice is to repeat the thyroid function test every 3 months because one (or even more than one)of your thyroid nodule/s can start to overproduce or to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormone and you can start to have hyperthyroid symptoms if you don't take the right treatement.

2.The normal range of vitamin D is a level between 20 and 40 ng/mL.
(Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories)

A lower-than-normal level can be due to:
-Lack of exposure to sunlight
-Lack of enough vitamin D in the diet
-Liver and kidney diseases
-Poor food absorption
-Use of certain medicines, including phenytoin, phenobarbital, and rifampin

So with your actual level,it is sure that you need vitamin D supplements associated with calcium if you have low level of calcium.
Don't hesitate to take this supplemments because a low vitamin D level may be associated with several riscs.

Last think : An adequate blood level of vitamin D is 20 nanograms per milliliter, which can be achieved through daily skin exposure to sunlight.
So, remember that the exposure to sunlight is important you in this moment.

The vit D deficiency do not change the contraindication of Maca in patients with thyroid problems.

Hope my information is helpful.
Thank you for using HCM.
Wish you good health
