Maca is one of the many herbs identified to be beneficial in our body. Its risk from consumption is minimal which suggests that it can be safely eaten. A disadvantage of Maca is that it also contains glucosinolates which can cause goiter if taken in excess coupled with a deficient iodine intake in the diet.  Be always careful when eating Maca or taking its commercial supplements. A general rule for all people is that for any herbal supplements that you consider, always consult the physician first before trying one.
