How much Maca Root should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

1. Zone 10 to 375 mg per dayLow dose
2. Zone 2375 to 1125 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
3. Zone 31125 to 1500 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
4. Zone 41500 to 3000 mg per dayTherapeutic dose
5. Zone 43000 to 4500 mg per dayTherapeutic dose

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
