Found this while googling it:

"Low or High levels of estrogen are a common problem to many women, which bring frustrating consequences to their health. Maca root will dramatically fix these problems. It acts as a hormonal regulator that will bring your body to its proper balance. As a result, it will alleviate menopausal and painful menstrual symptoms."

I too had heard of Macca Root, and a while back asked the same question, but apparently no had tried it.... I have heard good things about it, am curious too....

Not sure if this is the same product - but I bought a supplement called macca -(a peruvian herb) it is for menopausal symptons and hot flashes. My hot flashes did stop during the night, not sure if this was a coincidence or not - but I began to have a really painful stomach and ibs so I have stopped them for a while. Not sure if there was any connection, but I am taking loads of supplements, and thought I was perhaps taking too many. I have heard of many people getting a benefit wth them though.

(macca is also reported to be a natural viagra!! so maybe I do need to go back on them as my libido is at an all time low!)
