Black Maca Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Black Maca against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Maca by We Like Vitamins
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: maca extract. Maca is a root vegetable native to Peru that's been used traditionally as a food and supplement.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the maca.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence we hold on maca extract doesn't establish clear effectiveness for any of the conditions it's marketed for — including amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and bone health. All of these ratings fall under insufficient reliable evidence, which means the research so far hasn't been robust enough to say whether it works.
If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current science shows and whether it's worth a trial.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca extract is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been thoroughly studied, so we don't have complete data on how it behaves over months or years at supplement doses. One thing to note: consuming fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain, so stick with the processed extract in this capsule.
The safety data we hold advises against maca in supplement amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in those situations, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca extract with any medications. This doesn't mean interactions can't happen — it means we have no monograph data showing them — so it's still smart to mention this product to your doctor or pharmacist before you take it, particularly if you're on prescription drugs.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Black Maca may appeal to you if you're drawn to traditional plant supplements, but the evidence for specific health benefits isn't established yet. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a chronic condition, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially if you want to make sure it won't interfere with anything else you're taking.
