A member asked:
Can people with high blood pressure use maca supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Maca, also known as peruvian ginseng (in spite of the fact that it is not a member of the ginseng famil). It is touted as improving ed among many other "virtues". Since it has been used as a "medicinal" food for centuries, it is probably inocuous but it is advertized on the internet in the usual blown up way. No decent research has been done !
