A member asked:

Is it okay to take maca root capsules and prenatal pills at the same time though i'm not pregnant or tryin to have a baby anytime soon. i'm 22 yrs old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you were trying to get pregnant i would advise against maca root simply because there is not enough information about its safety. Prenatal pills contain a lot of iron which can be constipating if you don't need it. Consider a regular multivitamin if the extra iron is not required.
