HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Maca by NusaPure

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 extract. Maca is a plant native to Peru that has been used traditionally as a food and supplement.

The inactive ingredients are cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — these are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule 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 for Black Maca is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies aren't robust enough yet to draw firm conclusions. If you're considering it for any of these reasons, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence 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.

Black Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but its safety as a supplement over the long term hasn't been studied. One known side effect is that fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain.

The safety data advises against taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in supplement amounts.

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 extract. However, given that long-term supplement safety hasn't been established, it's still worth running this by your doctor or pharmacist if you take any regular medications — they know your full health picture and can advise whether it's right for you.

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 single-ingredient supplement with no documented medication interactions, though its long-term safety profile as a supplement remains unclear. It may interest people looking to address amenorrhea, sexual dysfunction, or athletic performance, but the evidence for any of these uses is insufficient.

Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking regular medications should talk with their doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Black Maca by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Black Maca by NusaPure 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.
What is Black Maca and what is it used for?
Black Maca is an extract from a plant native to Peru that has been used traditionally as a food and supplement. In the supplement world, it's promoted for issues like amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods), sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and bone health, though the evidence for these uses is still developing.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough reliable information about maca in supplement amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so you should avoid it during these times. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What are the side effects?
Black Maca is generally well tolerated, though fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain. Long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied in depth, so unexpected effects aren't ruled out.
Does Black Maca actually work for sexual dysfunction or athletic performance?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for either antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction or athletic performance. That means the studies so far aren't strong enough to say whether it works — not that it definitely doesn't. Your doctor can help you weigh the current evidence if you're considering it.
Will this interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented for Black Maca in our data. That's not a guarantee none exist, especially since long-term safety hasn't been studied as a supplement — so run your exact medications through the tool on this page or ask your doctor or pharmacist to be sure.
