Question 1

is  aguaje safe to take to enhance female curves? what happens if you stop taking it?

Accepted Answer

Would not do: I would not take any supplement (like this one) that can have an effect on natural hormonal balance especially at a young age.  Good diet and exercise is the best you can do to enhance your figure.

Question 2

can i continue to take aguaje supplements while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No data to answer: I have not found any research studies that answer this question. Aguaje is said to be a rich source of phytoestrogens & is traditionally used to increase fertility. I would be cautious during the first trimester (when one should be cautious re: most supps) but as a fruit that is apparently widely eaten in the amazon during pregnancy it is probably safe.

Question 7

Probably not: That's sort of like asking if a potato is similar to a vitamin supplement. Neither maca root nor fertility blend are single items (several manufacturers put those words on their labels). Neither maca root nor fertility blend are medications. They are over-the-counter supplements, which means little or no testing has been done, and nobody really knows for sure what the effects or side effects are.

Accepted Answer

MACA: Some studies have shown that it has no effect on sex hormone levels, including lh, fsh, prolactin, 17-oh progesterone, testosterone, or estradiol. Some claims it improves fertility that is why companies have taken comercial interest in it.
