It’s no secret, curves are in! With the likes of Kim Kardashian and Nikki Minaj parading the carpets of Hollywood in tight fitting dresses that flaunt full round hips and booty, it is no wonder that so many women out there are embracing and appreciating their curves. But what if you aren’t naturally blessed with a big butt or luscious curves?
Apparently, there are claims that you can take maca root powder for bigger booty and hips and naturally fill out where you are lacking. But are these claims fact of myth?
The story behind Maca
Maca is a root plant cultivated in South America and has been used by the natives for healing purposes and consumption as food. According to Cathy Wong, a licensed naturopathic doctor, some of the proposed benefits of maca root powder are helping to address issues of fatigue, certain symptoms of menopause and sexual dysfunction in men and women.
Certain studies have also linked maca root powder with helping to regulate and balance hormones in men and women. According to Vitaminstohealth.com, maca root works by telling your hypothalamus-pituitary gland when it is producing too much or too little of particular hormone helping to regulate your system
Maca root powder for bigger booty and hips: “I got it from my mama”
Your body shape is determined predominately by genetics and no, you cannot alter your genetics. However hormones also play a major role in how body fat is distributed and this can be altered by use of certain supplements and medications.
Traditionally women with higher levels of estrogen tend to store more fat in breasts, hips and of course the booty. Remember puberty? During this stage most young women will experience a surge in estrogen levels which triggers development of curves.
On the other hand, there are some women who produce less estrogen or have a dominance of androgen, which are male hormones, and will tend to store less fat in these areas and more in the upper body thereby having less curves. For these women, supplements like Maca can encourage a more feminine figure because if your body is producing too little of estrogen, it will help to regulate your system and increased estrogen level can mean more fat deposits in breasts, hips and the booty.
Now you have to be realistic, don’t expect to go from a Twiggy to a Buffie the Body. You most likely will not experience drastic changes.
The verdict: So does maca give you a bigger butt?
Maca root powder can be beneficial to women seeking to regulate hormones and for some women this can mean an increase in fat deposits to breast, hips and the booty but probably nothing too drastic as your genetics and bone structure also play a huge role in your body shape. However be aware that as of current, there is little to no medical research establishing the effectiveness of maca in hormone regulation and results will vary from individual to individual.
There have been lots of success stories from women taking maca root powder for bigger booty hips. There is a majority claim that it does work, in fact some women state they saw a drastic increase in their butt and hip size, and on the flip side, there are also reports from users who say it did absolutely nothing.
It all boils down to each individual as well know every human body is different and will have different outcomes. But as with all supplements, you need to check with a doctor first before taking maca.
***UPDATE***
Due to the strong interest in this topic and from all the requests I have received, I just wanted to share some pictures showing my journey and results with maca and Femaprin vitex extract. I’ve been on and off both supplements over the past several years.
I don’t want to make any claims that any of these supplements are the cause of a curvier figure, it might or it might not be. As you can tell from the pictures, I have always had a curvy figure so it is in my genetics. Thanks mom!! However I have noticed a slight difference in body proportions, you be the judge and let me know in the comment box below.
I also want to add that I have also gained weight over the years. In 2008 I weighed approximately 170 lbs, 2009- 180 lbs and in 2012 -185 lbs.
I also get a lot of emails asking me where I purchase Maca and Femaprin extracts. I get them both from Amazon.com, here are exact links:
**Disclaimer: These are the brands I purchased and used, I am in no way promoting these brands. There
How about you? Have you had the opportunity to try maca for bigger booty and hips, would love to hear your experience, please share in the comment box below.

I consulted with a friend who is a herbalist…I’ve recently.lost a lot.of weight in my curvy areas dur to child birth and she recommended this root. I started today..I’ll comment again in two months with results!
Hi Tammie, thanks for the comment! Please do come back and let us know how things work out with the herb. thanks
I have been doing A LOT of research on whether or not this root can add to your behind. I could not find a single review that said it did not! Some people even said that it added 2 inches and they stopped taking it because it was making their behind grow TOO much. Wow. I am about to purchase some but I have a question, do you know if it is more effective in powdered than in pill form?
Thanks!
I had bought a bottle of maca root pills on ebay for like 5 bucks i was like im goin to give it a try i started taking 2 a day i promise no lie within to weeks women was at my job tellin me “I’m not gay or anything but you getting thick” at first I was like what a coincidence then my mangers was even joking with me about my booty even when I stop taking them my booty still grew and this only off one bottle I haven’t taken them since August 2012, what i will tell you is it wont give you a nikki minaj or kim k booty (lets be realistic) but my but has spreaded and gotten rounder ………………………………….So to answer your question it does grow your booty but it wont be dramatic results about to order my second bottle I will keep you posted and give you ladies honest answers…..ps they also have me super hyper thats why i only tske them before work and there have you super horny
Hi dede, all I can say is WOW. You saw results within 2 weeks, normally from my experience and others that I’ve read it can take a while to see any results. I’m glad it worked so well for you, please keep us posted and if you can send any pictures, please do as well. Thanks

was there a surtain brand of maca root that you use or does it really matter and how big did your butt get and how long did you take maca root
Hi Dion, I haven’t been taking it in a while because I am currently taking chasteberry supplement for hormone regulation. But when I did I used Nature’s Way maca root, and another good one is by Gaia. I believe you can get both from amazon.com. I’ll be honest, I was already blessed with some curves prior to taking maca, I just felt like it added a little more junk in my trunk., nothing drastic though.
Hi Laurel, either pill or powder form will be effective, what matters is the dosage. The typical dosage is 500mg taken 3 times a day. However you might need to adjust it based on how your body responds. And remember to always check with a physician before taken any supplements. Thank you for your post and question, I’ll be doing another article on how to take maca root for hormonal regulation very soon, so stay tuned : )

Will the maca root make from butt size 36-40? I hope so cause all I want is a bigger booty.
Hi Sarah, quite honestly, I doubt that taking maca alone will get you from a 36 to a 40. You might need to supplement it with some butt exercises and weight gainers.
Hey! I am 21 wif a 34 butt and 36 boobs. I wana try ds maca. The prob is wer to get it in abuja. Tanks
Hi Sisi, glad to hear from you. I don’t know where in Abuja you would be able to get them, perhaps at pharmacies or natural food stores.

I took maca and my butt grew tremendously and I’ve been off of it for two years and my butt is still big. I stopped taking it because I begin to have very bad breakouts and I thought maybe it was due to the hormone changes the maca was causing. I also had horrible eating habits that have gotten worst since I took it, so that may have contributed to the increase in butt and boobs. my boobs have gone up from a D to G since then. I want to start taking them again bc I’m about to start working out and I’m afraid that I’ll lose my assets. I’ll keep you guys posted on what I decided to do and my results if I choose to do it again.
What brand of maca were you using?
When u say horrible eating, what are u talking about?
Hello ladies!!!! This is a very exciting journey
I started maca root about a week ago and doing butt excersises and……….It’s working 
And honestly I think it is the best thing to combine the two…i been married for 7yrs been my husband just told me the other day “he didn’t know what or how but my butt “looked nice and big” 
….I blushed..lol however you’ll never know if it’ll work for you or not if you don’t try it yourself!
Also anyonelse who is trying maca root please share your stories, also I suggest measuring with before you begin this “journey” jaja … and then check in every …i don’t know..month I want to say becuase it may take a time to start seeing a “big” difference. I haven’t checked my measurements since I started but c’on my husbad and I are both seeing a difference in such little time!!! I’m sooo Bessed!
-sorry about the misspelled words I am in a rush and overly excited!
First you have to know your body type then have a right diet, when one is healthy then he could do whatever part of body needed to improve.

So, I’ve been reading everyone’s comments and congratulations to the ppl it worked for. I’m thinking about using Maca. My only question and concern is does it make your STOMACH bigger while making you butt bigger?? Also, I have doubt because I don’t want it to make my boobs grow. I wear a 40D exact and doesn’t want to be DD
Hi S.Marie. Everybody will react differently to the herb, so you might or you might not. Also if you gain weight, which I suspect is what is happening to a lot of people, then your stomach and boobs will most likely increase in size especially if you normally put weight in those areas. The trick is to combine it with a good exercise routine especially butt exercises that lift and tone so the rest of your body is in shape.

Hi everyone I want to start taking maca root and I’ve done a little reaserch and most girls say that it missed up there period cycle , did any of you have an issue like that ?
Hi Andrea, that’s interesting. But technically it should not because Maca is said to help regulate hormones. Maybe in the first stages of taking the herb it might, as it is working with your pituary glands to produce the right amounts of hormone. But other than that, not sure. My cycle is pretty irregular cuz of PCOS, so didn’t really notice a difference.

Hi Ebele Okocha
It’s been 1 week on Maca Root. So far the only change I’ve have has been in my sex drive. It’s mad crazy and hubby love’s it. Not much to the butt area. Still doing the workouts. Will let you know as I go. Nita
Lol Nita, sounds like ur having a good time with maca, it is known to do that. From my experience, I took maca for a while before noticing any changes in my body. You have to give your body time to see how it reacts to the supplement.
Ebele Okocha recently posted..Workout for Buttocks Series: How to get a sexy butt with a stroller
What if I stopped taking it? Does my butt size reduce? Will my butt go back to the size I started? I don’t want to take pills forever. Help please.
Hi Marissa,
It is going to depend on your body and hormonal system. Remember maca works by helping your body achieve hormonal balance and in some women that can mean and increase in curves. If you stop taking maca your body can revert to its former state. The good news is that maca is a herbal supplement and is considered safe. But if you’re concerned about taking pills forever, I will say maybe take it for several months and get to the state where you feel you’ve achieved your goal and then stop taking maca a while and see how your body responds. Worst case scenario, if your body reverts back you can always go back on it. But I totally feel you, I do not like taking pills even so-called natural supplements. I typically go on and off supplements so my body does not get too dependent on them.
From my experience, my curves stayed the same after I went off maca for several months and I also maintained my weight gain. But every body is going to react differently.

Hey Everyone, I’m so happy there are so many recent posts on the Maca Root I must say I’ve been very skeptical but coming across this blog has convinced me.
I do have a question though, I realized that there are several different kinds of maca roots. I see online that its available at my local GNC Store the white & Green bottle says Nature’s Way maca root 100 capsules, I read the reviews & it’s mainly talking about helping hormonal changes. Theres also another one in like a brown bottle that says the same thing. I wanted to know is this the right one to purchase for a bigger butt. Please let me know guys. Thank You!!
Hi Jess,
Thank you for stopping by. I don’t think there is a particular brand of maca to get more curves and I don’t think the brand matters too much per say. What matters is the dosage. I used nature’s way maca, I would say it is a good brand. However, I am currently experimenting with other brands to see which I like best and will keep you guys updated.
Ebele Okocha recently posted..4 Valentines Day Flower Meanings and How He Really Feels About You
Hey does anyone know what dosage of the Maca root is best. And is it better to take the pills or drink the powder.
I started taking the root only 1 month ago and I’ve seen great results, so this is diff fact
Hi Tay, thanks for stopping by, glad it worked out very well for you. Please let us know what brand of Maca you were using, dosage and where you purchased. Thanks!
I brought natures way and I only take 3 pills a day. I got the bottle from gnc for only 12 bucks.
So happy I found this site. I just ordered ‘Navitas Maca Gelatinized Powder 16 oz’. I plan on mixing it with my morning protein shake. I was curvy before kids but have lost it since. I will check back with results.. wish me luck
Hi ELo, good luck hun! : )
Hi, I jus bought a bottle by nature s way. I’m still in two minds about the whole thing. I’m gonna start with one pill a day for the first week. See what happens n then up the dos on the 2 week.

This thread is great. I am about to order Nature’s Way Maca 525mg 100caps. Im excited because everyone seems to be getting results. My only concern is i am on the contraception patch which also regulates my hormones so is it safe for me to take Maca at the same time? Has anyone else been on contraception whilst taking this?
Hi MissC, please consult with your doctor before taking the supplement. Maca is not a hormone but it has been reported to have some effect on hormone production so you want to make sure it’s not counteracting with your bp pills.

I recently started taking natures way maca root gelatinized 4:1 about 16 days ago. It is definitely working! I’m naturally a slender women, with naturally bigger breasts, I got it to enhance more my lower area. And I’ve already seen about an 1inch increase! I work out regularly about 4 times weekly, and just adding a bit of jump rope and squats to my routine and I can feel a swelling that after rest turns to muscle. Great product , also makes you more clear minded and happy. Worth the try.

Hello.am 20yrs olds and I have a 34-27-34 body shape.I desperatly nid 2 add weight esp around d hip and butt area.I desperatly need the maca root product.want to knw if I can get it in Benin city,Nigeria.
Love this post and your butt workout post! I’m a 17 year old, Caucasian female (I don’t know if that even matters but anyhow) with a quite tiny butt and I’ve tried maca for about three weeks now. My mom just gave them to me randomly some time ago and I took them without even knowing what it was so I was like “THAT’S why my booty’s become bigger” when I found out. I know, it sounds crazy because I’ve only tried them for about three weeks but even my boyfriend has noticed that there is a lot more fat to grab in my butt- and hip area. It even has become visibly more round and I’m soooo happy. I really hope it’s because of the maca. I’ll continue and see!
What kind and brand of maca did u use?
I wish I knew. I think my mom gets the maca powder off eBay and fills it in capsules herself but I’m not quite sure. I’ll get back at you when I find out.

Oh, I have to add that I am really, really jealous of your figure. I love it, wish I could have curves like that too.

Hi Shae, thank you for sharing. Definitely keep us updated : )
I got the powder form and it says to take 1 teaspoon daily with food? Should I take more to increase the booty or is that enough?
Thank you
I started taking maca root two and a half weeks ago. I also massage with a fish oil mixture 2 times a day and workout 3 times a week. I use organic maca root pills from GNC 1500 mg pure fish oil from a health food store coconut and lavender oils from whole foods. After about day 16 my husband noticed I was filling out my jeans and the compliments are flowing. I’ve been researching and asking around for weeks before I started this regimen and hopefully the following helps:
* you must exercise in addition to maca root( stomach vacuums, donkey kicks, squats, weights)
* powder or pill isn’t important but don’t take too much. A tablespoon in your protein shake twice a day or 3 500 mg pills should do it
*enrich your diet with healthy fats like avocado, nuts, chicken breasts etc.
Thanks for a great article and I hope it helps others xoxo

Ooh I would love a big booty Maca sounds like the right way to go, but I also wonder what all the side effects are on it. I suffer from high blood pressure so would be hesitant to take it, will have to confirm with my doctor. Thanks for the post
Patricia recently posted..Skin Care: Try These Natural Methods To Improve Your Skin Safely
Patricia, for high blood pressure, take 90 thousand heat unit cayenne pepper on some of your food and raw organic garlic. Its potent, but amazing blood pressure stabilizing properties.Consult your physiciian first of course, especially if you are on meds, but they will likely tell you that method will be ineffective. The fact of the matter is there is solid evidence this works NATURALLY AND i am one it has worked on. SO Im living proof. But we cant just rely on cayenne and garlic to solve our issues. We must take a holistic approach and move the body from an acidic state to an alkaline state. Taking just cayenne and garlic while still filling our bodies with foods that make it acidic, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, processed foods, etc, is defeating the purpose. This stuff has changed my life and i went from 300 lbs, to 175 of solid muscle with just enough body fat to be healthy, , running ten miles every other day, and feel better than i ever have in my life. Maca powder is THE most amazing food I have ever discovered in my four years of extensive research and lifestyle. Especially when it comes to, well I will just say it … libido
, putting weight on in all the right spots, , vitality, energy, and even SKIN. 
I just did some more research on side effects and many get sick taking it in RAW form. However, no so much with the gelatinized, but you still have to watch your portions . I personally am taking three scoops, twice a day of the gelatinized in my smoothies. Some may say thats too much but its working great fo rme. I think because my body is already alkaline. If it was acidic, I would probably start with lower doses being that my body would not be used to such healthy foods.
Hi, I started taking macs..im a raw foodist (though i use gelatinized macs for this) and I’m really happy with what it is doing for me. Im a guy, but I’m amazed at the way it is toning my bod especially the rear end. I work out (not with weights) but lunges, etc. I love the libido factor. This stuff is amazing. Now I’m taking quite a bit.. three scoops in every smoothie, the scoop that comes with navitas natural brands… so I’m having about six scoops, or six teaspoons of the gelatinized a day.. but I’m curious as to why some people are saying don’t take so much. Im having great results with these doses! And by the way, Ebele Okocha just marry me now and be done with it! lol
Hi Gary! I have read that maca works well for both sexes to help alleviate hormonal imbalance problems, so its interesting to read your experience as a guy taking maca. It’s great that you have had positive results with the supplement, please keep us updated. Maca is generally a safe herb and according to what I’ve read, it is tolerated well by most people. According to webMD 1,500mg is recommended daily dosage and you can go up to 3,000mg a day which is often used in the case of a male trying to treat libido related issues. It also does state that 1,500mg is just as effective as 3,000mg so it probably makes sense to take 1,500mg and save on some product:) I personally have never tried maca in a smoothie, but I’ll have to take that up pretty soon. Hope you don’t mind sharing your recipe
Here is my recipe… 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk… two tablespoons of RAW cocao powder (amazing anti oxidants) , two scoops (which i think equates to tablespoons) of gelatinized navitas naturals maca powder…two heaping tablespoons of organic peanut butter OR sunflower butter, two tablespoons of black strap molasses…teaspoon of bee pollen, and two organic bananas. If you refrigerate it for an hour or two it seems to taste even BETTER! This smoothie tastes AMAZING and is great for chocolate lovers, and every single ingredient is super healthy. I have never had so much energy since taking this. I am however, going to take a week off from it just because I believe in giving the body a break from the same nutrients all the time. Now I have been putting THREE of those scoops that come with the maca powder, but i don’t recommend that for the average person. The smoothie will come out like a pudding consistency, which I think is better than a liquid. I do the raw juicing too, so I get plenty of liquids. This is more like a meal, literally. Be prepared for you libido to go through the ROOF!
(as previously mentioned Im sure) … many have complained of vivid dreams with maca, in my opinion its because the stuff makes you more FOCUSED! I also do a green smoothie with the same base ingredients .. rotating the greens. AMAZING!
meant maca, not macs!

Is everyone still taking maca powder. I just started yesterday and I’m hoping that I wake up with some curves. I’m at 120lbs right now (5′ 7″) and I’m hoping to gain 10-15lbs. I work out 5-6 days/week b/c I teach fitness classes. I would love to hear everyone’s progress with maca and all the changes you have seen thus far
I am still taking maca root!
been using since march 26 with rest breaks during my cycle. I got a tip from a girl at my gym to keep my tummy down by taking cinnamon pills! Well I went from a size 6 to a size 8/10 jeans and I filled out VERY nicely.i had a flat butt with no shape before!! I workout 3-4 nights a week so it contributes but I make sure to keep maca in my regimen. Good luck to you! 
I have a pretty nice sized butt, its the breast that are lacking, will the increase in butt and breast area generate at the same time? I hope so i can only afford a little more behind me anything else would make look like a knock- off Nicki..not a bad thing i just want to remain normal looking= )
Thank you, Tiara. I have seen an increase in my appetite. Shadow_figure, I am also in need of biggest chest. Lawd, I dont know how I went from a c cup to a -A lol. After I had my son, I was at 135 lbs and damn, I liked it. I mean I filled out my jeans, I had a nice cleavage..the only thing I didnt like was the gut. I have realized that I have been doing too much cardio so I’m cutting down on that and lift heavy more often (4x/week). I am eating more now and I cant tell you how happy I would be to be back at 130-135. I’ll be checking this blog to see everyone else’s progress
