Someone at the health food store today highly recommended Maca powder as an additive to smoothie for an energy boost. Considering that I have never used maca before I bought the sales pitch.
I see that this is used for energy, libido and performance enhancement. I was just interested in the energy boost,,, which is why I haven't tried it today,, want to be able to sleep tonight.

So,,, if you have used Maca powder I would truly like to hear of your experience with it.

I've been using the borax for just under a week now with little to report thus far. Then again,,, the arthritis in my lower back isn't all that bad and what little pain I do have may be related to squats,, so tough to tell.

Will stay with the regimen for about a month to fully explore.
