HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Maca Root Veg Capsules 5000 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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 root powder at 5000 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant root native to Peru, used traditionally as a food and supplement.

The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, a plant-based material that holds the powder 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 maca's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The ingredient has been studied for amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis, but we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these uses.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence supports it.

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 long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient information.

One note: consuming fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — this product is a powder, so that risk is lower, but it's worth knowing.

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 the ingredients we could check. That doesn't guarantee interactions don't exist elsewhere — if you're on any medications, run them through the checker on this page or ask your pharmacist to be sure.

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 food-derived supplement with no documented drug interactions and a long history of traditional use. It's worth considering if you're interested in trying it, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't strong.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have questions about whether it fits your health picture, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
