Super Royal Maca® for Men with DIM

WHAT IS DIM?

DIM is short for diindolylmethane, a breakdown product of chemical compounds produced by the stomach during the digestion of cruciferous vegetables. Studies show it can help the body make healthy estrogen and slow the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.*

Supporting Men’s Sexuality and Energy
Traditionally, Maca has been used to reverse symptoms of andropause, which involves a decline in men’s testosterone level as they age. This decline can happen to a man anywhere from his 40’s to his late 70’s. Both Royal Maca and DIM promote healthy testosterone/estrogen metabolism and reduce symptoms of estrogen-related imbalances. According to Zellig (Townsend Letter, August 2001), DIM helps maintain a healthy testosterone level in older men. Support Your Prostate Health Maca root, DIM, and Zinc have all been shown in animal studies to support healthy prostate functioning. Additionally, we have another product, Royal Lucraco Plus, which has been tested in clinical practice with Peruvian men and found to be highly effective. It supports healthy urination function and a healthy PSA level. Each Serving Contains

Suggested Usage:

Directions

Royal Maca^® is best taken in the morning with a meal, to give you an energy lift throughout the day. In the powder form, Royal Maca^® can be used as an enhancement in food. Most people say Royal Maca^® has a pleasant, nutty or malty taste. You can add your carefully measured Royal Maca^® powder to:

• Smoothies
• Coffee or tea
• Pancakes
• Muffins
• Oatmeal
• Milks: dairy, almond, cashew, soy
• Desserts
• Guacamole
• And much more!

Regularity is important when taking Royal Maca^®. It can also be taken by men a couple of hours before engaging in strenuous activity. Follow the directions on the label.

Contraindications

• Do not combine Royal Maca^® with any form of testosterone or estrogen, including HRT, phytoestrogenic herbs such as black cohosh, motherwort, red clover, etc., or with estrogen precursors such as pregnenolone or DHEA.
• Women should stop using estrogenic supplements for 4 weeks before starting use of Royal Maca^®.
• Usually does not combine well with ginseng and other adaptogenic botanicals.
• Do not use Maca if you are taking Tamoxifen^® for breast cancer or Lupron^® for prostate cancer.
• Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing.

Dosing Considerations:

Male - Young with acne

If acne in the teenage and young adult years is occurring, it is probably due to a hormone imbalance. Teenagers can start with 1/6 teaspoon of Royal Maca^® powder daily at breakfast. If they don't see results in about 10 days, they can start taking 1/3 teaspoon a day. Royal Camu^® (very high in natural Vitamin C) can also be taken to support clear skin - 2 capsules (or 1/2 teaspoon) twice daily. Avoid excessive sweets and fried foods and add more vegetables to your diet. You will probably start feeling so good you might be tempted to raise your dosage to feel even better. However, if you take too much, you may get a headache or feel agitated and have trouble sleeping. Be careful not to over-do the amount that you take. Taking Royal Maca^® before a sporting event yields more stamina. It may also yield better mental focus and energy.

Male - 25 - Andropause

Men are not as sensitive as women to dosages and have more leeway in how they dose their Royal Maca^®. However, Royal Maca^® is very potent and needs to be taken in much smaller amounts than the weak Chinese Maca (that may be advertised as Peruvian Maca), which is the most common type of Maca available in the U.S. Note: If you begin to experience less energy, lower libido or mood, or if you start feeling agitation or have trouble sleeping, that means you need to reduce your intake. Men in the prime of life might take Royal Maca^® to enhance their sexual and reproductive functions. Taking Royal Maca^® before a sporting event yields more stamina. Body builders love Royal Maca^® for its ability to repair/build muscle quickly. Start with 1/3 teaspoon of Royal Maca^® powder each morning for a week or two. If there is no noticeable effect, increase to 1/2 teaspoon of Royal Maca^® powder daily and try that out for a week or two. Further adjustments can be made. The goal is to determine the minimum effective dosage.

Male - In Andropause

Men are not as sensitive as women to dosages and have more leeway in how they dose their Royal Maca^®. However, Royal Maca^® is very potent and needs to be taken in much smaller amounts than the weak Chinese Maca (that may be advertised as Peruvian Maca), which is the most common type of Maca available in the U.S. Note: If you begin to experience less energy, lower libido or mood, or if you start feeling agitation or have trouble sleeping, that means you need to reduce your intake. Men in andropause may take Royal Maca^® to enhance their sexual function and increase libido naturally. You will probably experience more energy, stamina, and muscle tone. Consider starting with 1/3 teaspoon of Royal Maca^® powder each morning and see how it affects you. Adjustments can be made to that amount to increase or reduce the desired effect. The goal is to determine the minimum effective dose. If Royal Maca^® is taken regularly, a second serving 1 to 2 hours before strenuous activity may yield more stamina. If you would like the convenience of capsules for more exact measuring, consider Royal Maca^® for Men. It has added zinc and Vitamin B₆, which are both beneficial to men. If you are at risk for or want to avoid prostate issues, check out our Super Royal Maca^® for Men and Royal Lucraco^TM.

Immediate and Urgent Use: Take 4-8 caps/day for same day effects.

Maintenance: Take 2-6 caps daily depending on age, health condition and individual sensitivity. If side-effects appear, such as headache, loss of libido, or energy, take every other day or reduce dosage.

Note: Men who are taking a zinc supplement of 20 mg or more should take Royal Maca® Vitality Libido Balance capsules or Royal Maca® powder. Your total zinc supplements should not exceed 30 mg daily except for short periods of time to get a ‘loading dose’ if your body is low in zinc.

Warning: Do not combine this product with a testosterone-blocking drug, like Lupron®. Consult your physician if you have a testosterone-related cancer.

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.
