Im on injectable birth control and was considering taking maca root for weight gain....can i take the maca pills while on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure but : Maca root has not been proven scientifically to do anything so it's unlikely to help in this circumstance. Exercise, lift weights, and increase your protein intake nutritiously.
