HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Andes Organic Maca by Terry Naturally

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: organic whole Maca extract, a root from the Andes used traditionally as a food and supplement. The capsules themselves are made from vegetable cellulose, with magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients to keep everything flowing smoothly during manufacturing.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy libido and energy levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Sexual desire, Fatigue, Athletic performance, Stamina, Endurance, Vitality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fatigue, Sexual desire.

The evidence we hold on Maca doesn't give us a clear picture yet. It's been studied for amenorrhea (absence of periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and bone health, but the data isn't reliable enough to say whether it actually works for any of these.

If you're considering it for a specific reason, talk with us about what the current science suggests and whether it might fit your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maca

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but we don't have long-term safety data on it as a supplement, so some caution is warranted. Fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain in some people.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — the data just isn't there to say it's okay.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the Maca ingredient we could check. Still, if you're on any medications, run them through the tool below or ask us — we'll make sure nothing unexpected happens.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Maca is a traditional Peruvian root that many people use, but the science on what it actually does is still thin. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, check with your pharmacist first.

It's worth asking us whether it makes sense for what you're hoping to get out of it.

Andes Organic Maca by Terry Naturally: Common Questions

Does Andes Organic Maca by Terry Naturally interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Andes Organic Maca. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Andes Organic Maca contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will Maca help with my low energy or athletic performance?
The evidence we hold on Maca for athletic performance isn't strong enough to say whether it works. If that's what you're hoping for, we'd recommend talking with us about what the current research actually shows and whether it might be worth a try for you.
Can I take Maca if I'm pregnant?
No — there isn't enough safety data on Maca in supplement amounts during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new supplement while pregnant.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking Maca?
There isn't enough reliable safety information on Maca during breastfeeding, so it's safer to skip it for now. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
Does Maca cause stomach problems?
Fresh, uncooked Maca can cause stomach pain in some people. This product is an extract, so that risk is lower, but if you notice any stomach discomfort after starting it, let us know.
What exactly is Maca?
Maca is a root that's been used traditionally in the Andes as a food and supplement. This product contains organic whole Maca extract, concentrated from the root.
Will this interact with my blood pressure medication?
No interactions are documented for Maca with the medications we could check. That said, if you're on any prescription drugs, it's smart to run them through our interaction checker below or ask us before you start.
