I use the injectable birth control depoprovera. the side effects have decreased my libido. is it safe to use maca pills until the injection is over?

Maca Pills: Maca is a natural herb from the Maca plant root that has been around for 3000 years. Some benefits may be increased energy. I see no issue with taking this as you try and get a different BC pill. Best wishes.
