HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Extra Strength Maca Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: maca root extract in powder form. Maca is a plant root that's been used traditionally in South America.

It has no inactive fillers or other added ingredients listed.

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 root isn't established for the purposes listed here—they include amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods), chronic disease anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis. The data we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to make a judgment.

That doesn't mean maca doesn't work; it means the research isn't strong enough yet to say for certain.

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 when used as a food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied thoroughly. One note: fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain in some people.

Because there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses during pregnancy, the data advises against using maca if you're pregnant. There also isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing.

Extra Strength Maca Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Extra Strength Maca Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Extra Strength Maca Root Powder. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Extra Strength Maca Root Powder 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 this while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data on maca supplements during pregnancy, so the safety information advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Is maca safe to use while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to know either way. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Will this help with sexual dysfunction from antidepressants?
That's one of the uses listed, but the evidence isn't strong enough to say maca works for it. The research we hold rates it as insufficient. Talk with your prescriber about other options if that's a concern.
Does maca have any side effects?
Fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain in some people. This powder form has been processed, but if you have a sensitive stomach, start small and see how you feel.
What exactly is maca?
Maca is a plant root that comes from South America and has been used traditionally there for centuries. This product is an extract made from that root, concentrated into powder form.
