Try and goggle it online....I'm sure you'll find something about it....but if you are having any treatments or are taking any medications( including Tamoxifen) it would be best to check with your oncologist before taking any kind of herbal remedies.....best to be safe...

If you go to Memorial Sloan
If you go to Memorial Sloan Kettering's website at www.mskcc.org you can find information about vitamins, minerals and supplements. Here is the link to maca root on their website:
http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/maca.
I also searched it at MD Anderson's website and got the name Cat's Claw when the information popped up.
They had a bit more information on it.
I would ask your oncologists or doctor's about it as there can be some negative side effects.0 -
