A member asked:

Can a male take maca while on clomid to increase low sperm count? or would the maca counteract what the clomid is doing?

Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Maca: Z, I can not find any literature that would show this a contraindication. Maca has been used for centuries and it has a lot of nurturents that support sex glands. I would think it would improve the effect of clomid.
