Can't say for sure: Maca in particular can have hormonal effects. How this might effect hormonal balance is unclear. You really need to see a qualified herbalist/doctor to help you decide if this will be helpful or not. Weight gain and spot reducing is not likely. Healthy diet and regular exercise are the key.
