HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Maca 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition

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: Peruvian Black Maca, Powder, at 1,000 mg per capsule. Maca is a root vegetable from the Andes that's been used traditionally in Peru as a food and supplement.

The capsule itself also contains inactive ingredients — methylcellulose and rice flour — which are fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Maca product and its label doesn't state a use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for maca is limited. Our data shows insufficient evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis.

That means studies so far haven't been robust or consistent enough to say whether it works for these purposes. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the research actually supports.

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 as a food, but long-term safety in supplement amounts hasn't been studied in depth. The main caution from trials is that fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — this product is a powder, so that risk is lower, but it's worth knowing.

Avoid maca during pregnancy and breastfeeding; there isn't enough safety data in those situations to recommend it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maca

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 maca. However, this does not mean interactions are impossible — we simply have no evidence showing that maca affects how medications work.

Check with your own pharmacist about your specific drugs before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Black Maca is a traditional Andean root sold as a supplement for various wellness goals, but the evidence for most of those uses is thin. It has no documented drug interactions, which is a plus if you take medications.

That said, pregnancy and breastfeeding are off-limits, and long-term safety data is sparse. If you're thinking about adding it to your routine, run it by your own doctor or pharmacist first.

Black Maca 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Black Maca 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Black Maca 1000 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Maca 1000 mg 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.
What is black maca, and how is it different from regular maca?
Black maca is a variety of the maca root from Peru. All maca is the same plant, but different colored varieties (black, red, yellow) are grown and used. This product uses the black variety in powder form.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data to recommend maca during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're in either situation.
Does maca actually work for sexual dysfunction or athletic performance?
The evidence for both is insufficient right now. Studies haven't been strong or consistent enough to say it works, so we can't rate it. If that's why you're interested, ask your doctor about options with better evidence behind them.
Will this upset my stomach?
Fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain, but this product is a processed powder, so that risk is lower. Start with a low dose to see how your body responds.
Are there any fillers in this?
Yes — methylcellulose and rice flour are in the capsule as inactive ingredients to help hold it together. If you're sensitive to either, check the full ingredient list.
