SHE - Mood & Hormone Balance - 120 Capsules

The only product on the market that combines Camu-Camu and Maca root concentrates.

As soon as a young woman begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca^®. For teenagers and women who are petite or sensitive, Royal Maca can be overstimulating unless they take a tiny amount.

The formula in SHE has proven to be very effective for relief from symptoms caused by hormone imbalance.

Maca Increases Tissue Levels of IGF-1
Maca root was shown in a 2004 study at Albany Medical College to increase tissue levels of Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a naturally occurring precursor hormone made by the liver. IGF-1 decreases as we age. IGF-1 impacts many parts of the body:

• Hormone balancing for women with a menstrual cycle, in perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and into old age
  • Including sexual function, libido, reproductive health, relief from PMS and painful periods, and bone density support
• Promotes libido, erectile function, and healthy reproductive function in men
• Supports collagen-based structures, which include bone, muscles, hair, nails, skin
• Supports neurotransmitter hormones including those required for optimum mood, sleep, and cognitive function
• Promotes healthy endocrine gland function (thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries)

Therapeutic Grade of Maca

• Royal Maca is organically grown and processed in Peru. Of all Maca sold in the U.S., 70 – 80% is grown in China and is of inferior quality.
• Royal Maca is a therapeutic-grade Maca product, not a recreational food product.
• Royal Maca is a life-changing alternative to testosterone therapy for men and hormone replacement therapy for women. It supports hormonal health in young women including reproductive health and beautiful skin.
• Because of the high potency of Royal Maca, correct dosage must be determined with Whole World Botanicals’ guidelines (see below). 
• Royal Maca is the most potent and economical Maca product on the market. Other products are commonly a one-month supply with a serving size of one teaspoon (or more). Royal Maca powder comes in two sizes, 57g (67 servings) and 175g (210 servings), with a serving size of 1/3 teaspoon. Note the number of servings – the small bottle will last over two months and the larger bottle will last over 6 months at the normal dosage.

Why is Camu-Camu in this Formula?
Camu-Camu is a non-citrus rainforest fruit that grows wild in the Amazon River Basin of Peru. It is the most potent food-sourced Vitamin C on the planet. Royal Camu is standardized to 8-10% Natural Vitamin C Complex and powerful antioxidant flavonol glycosides, derived from the Camu-Camu fruit. It has been shown to help with pain Relief, mood balance and strengthening the immune system. Many customers report it also helps buffer the powerful, sometimes overstimulating, effects of Royal Maca.

Dosing Considerations:

Female – Teenager to Young Adult

As soon as a female begins to menstruate, she can benefit from taking Royal Maca for relief from heavy/painful periods, supporting a regular menstrual cycle, supporting mood balance, relieving PMS symptoms, supporting fertility and healthy reproductive function, promoting post-partum mood balance, promoting healthy skin (reducing acne), boosting energy, and helping to dissolve ovarian cysts.*
Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive. Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles and stay on that until they enter the perimenopause phase of life.
Most teenagers fall into the petite/sensitive category where they are shorter than 5'3" (regardless of weight) or weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height). In that case, consider SHE our Royal Maca/Camu combination product. SHE contains a small amount of Royal Maca to avoid over-stimulating the body and adds a generous amount of Royal Camu to support mood, immunity, and energy.

Female – Petite

If your height is less than 5’3” (regardless of weight) or you weigh less than 115 pounds (regardless of height), you fit into the “petite” category. This is true even if you are 5’2” and weight 200 pounds.
Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, and then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles, and stay on that until they enter the perimenopause phase of life.
Not Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive (see Product Label tab). Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon daily. Evaluate symptoms after 5 days. If symptoms are 80% better, the dosage is right. If symptoms are 50% better or less, increase daily dosage by one more capsule and stay at that dose for 5 days. Evaluate symptoms again. If symptoms are now 80% better, the dosage is right. If not, keep increasing daily dosage by one capsule every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. If symptoms worsen, you may need to reduce the dosage according to the 5-day evaluation process.
If you find that you are still overstimulated, consider SHE, our Royal Maca/Royal Camu combination product. SHE contains a small amount of Royal Maca to avoid over-stimulating the body and adds a generous amount of Royal Camu to support mood, immunity, and energy.

Female – Sensitive

If you know that you usually take less than the normal dosage of other supplements or are just sensitive in general, finding the right dose for you may be challenging because the high potency of Royal Maca may overstimulate your system. Also, if you have a hard time taking prescription drugs or even herbal supplements at the “normal” dosage, you fit the “sensitive” category.
Menstruating: Follow the directions on the bottle for petite/sensitive. Consider starting with 1/12 or 1/6 of a teaspoon. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated.

Female – Menstruating

Follow the directions on the bottle. If you are not petite or sensitive, consider starting with 1/3 of a teaspoon. After one full menstrual cycle, you may increase your amount if you want greater symptom relief, or decrease the amount if you feel overstimulated. Stay on your adjusted dose for another full menstrual cycle, and then adjust again as needed. Most women find their best dose in a few cycles. You will stay on that amount until you enter the perimenopause phase of life.

Female – Starting Menopause (a.k.a. perimenopause)

Perimenopause is a period of several to many years when estrogen and progesterone levels are dropping in a woman's body creating symptoms of estrogen dominance first and then of estrogen depletion. Royal Maca offers excellent symptom relief for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of perimenopause. In Phase 1, symptoms of estrogen-dominance may include very painful periods, flooding periods, endometriosis, breast cysts, fibroid tumors, and painful breasts. In Phase 2, symptoms of estrogen depletion may include migraines, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, brain fog, depression, urinary urgency/frequency, and heart palpitations. Consider taking 1/3 teaspoon of Royal Maca powder each morning if you are still menstruating and having hot flashes. If you have no period, you can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. As you transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of perimenopause, and develop hot flashes or other symptoms, you may need to increase your dosage. After a year of no periods, you may find that you need to increase your dosage again. The way your body feels should always be your guide.

Female - In Menopause with Symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.)

Women who have had no period for 12 months (or longer) are considered "menopausal" (often called post menopausal). If you are in that category and are having symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.), consider starting with 1/2-1 teaspoon of Royal Maca powder. You can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. The way your body feels should always be your guide. 

Female - In Menopause without Symptoms

Women who have had no period for 12 months (or longer) are considered "menopausal" (often called post menopausal). If you are in that category and are not having symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.), consider starting with 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon of Royal Maca powder. You can increase that amount incrementally in small amounts, if necessary, every 5 days until symptoms are 80% better. The way your body feels should always be your guide.  of Royal Maca after your body has achieved a better hormone balance of its own.

Female - Taking HRT or other estrogenic substance

To begin the transition to Royal Maca, you must first stop taking the HRT, bio-identical hormones or other estrogenic elements cold turkey. To decrease the number and severity of hot flashes that may return and to prevent menopausal depression and assist sleep, start taking Royal Camu - one teaspoon (5 capsules), 3 times per day between meals for 4 weeks. Royal Camu at this dosage will usually reduce hot flashes by 60-70%. After 4 weeks, start taking Royal Maca according to the directions on the bottle and reduce Royal Camu to 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily. Taking Too Much Royal Maca for Your Body can be Unbalancing Your goal with Royal Maca is to find your MED – minimum effective dosage. Maca root has adaptogenic-like effects appropriate for both gender and age. As each person is physiologically different, you may need to experiment a little, taking the same dosage for 5 to 7 days before changing the amount. Because of the therapeutic potency of Royal Maca, it can be unbalancing if you take too much for your body. Over-stimulation is hormone-unbalancing. If you develop any side effects after taking Royal Maca for a few days or longer, stop taking the product for two days, and then resume at a lower dosage (see below for possible side effects). These symptoms go away quickly when you stop the product briefly and resume taking it at a lower dosage. Possible side effects of taking too much Royal Maca:

• Women may experience an increase in hot flashes or night sweats, or breast tenderness. Their menstrual period may have too much bleeding, too long a period or the cycle may shorten.

• Men may experience a decrease in libido and sexual function or desire.

• Men and women may experience fatigue, headaches, feeling jittery, anxious or not sleeping well.

• If you experience any allergic-type reaction, such as itching, swelling, redness, rash, nausea, or vomiting, stop taking Royal Maca and consider taking adequate amounts of Royal Camu for partial relief of hormone issues.

For any of the above symptoms, except for allergic-type reactions, simply stop taking Royal Maca for two days and then start again at a reduced amount.
