We all have them. Irritating companions we’d like nothing more than to ditch along the side of the road. For women with PCOS, facial hair, irregular periods, and decreased fertility are the tag-a-longs they’d most like to toss out of the car. Maca root is a powerful ally in the fight against annoying mates who just won’t take the hint. It collaborates with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, regulating hormones to appropriate levels. When hormones behave, it means fewer unwanted chin and facial hairs, and periods that show up on the regular. And that’s good news for mamas interested in baby-making.
