Yes. It does. It is an adaptogenic. It lowers if you have high thyroid, and raises if you have low.

- tomhoward 8y agoThe problem is it doesn’t address the underlying reason why your hormones are high or low. It might be for some important reason to keep your body in homeostasis while dealing with a different problem. Other literature I’ve read suggests that, for this very reason, prolonged use of adaptogens (including maca, rhodiola, ginseng) is inadvisable. In my own case, I suspect it may have led to problems (e.g., caused HPA axis to slow down further) after a while, having shown benefits in the beginning. Long story short: the body always fights back.
