HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Maca by Antler Farms

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: Black Maca, a root traditionally used in South America. The capsule itself is made from vegetable material (an inactive ingredient that holds everything together).

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 isn't established in our data for any of the conditions Black Maca is used for — amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and osteoporosis all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means larger, well-designed studies haven't confirmed benefit yet.

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.

Black Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but its long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — the capsule form should avoid that.

There isn't enough safety data to use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if either applies to you.

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 Black Maca. Still, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before you start.

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.

If you're interested in trying Black Maca for athletic performance, hormonal health, or mood-related sexual side effects, know that the evidence supporting it isn't strong yet. It's generally well tolerated, and it doesn't interact with medications we've documented — but stay clear if you're pregnant or nursing unless your doctor says otherwise.

Black Maca by Antler Farms: Common Questions

Does Black Maca by Antler Farms interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Black Maca. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black 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.
Can I take Black Maca if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data in supplement amounts during pregnancy, and there's not enough reliable information on breastfeeding safety either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Does Black Maca actually work?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish it for any of the conditions people use it for — amenorrhea, anemia, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis. That means larger studies haven't confirmed benefit yet, not that it doesn't work.
What are the side effects?
Black Maca is generally well tolerated. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain, but this capsule form should avoid that issue.
Why is there only one ingredient?
This product is a concentrated single herb. The vegetable capsule is just the shell that holds the maca powder — it's not an active ingredient.
