HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 1,600 mg by Nature's Truth
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 root extract at 1,600 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant-based ingredient that's been used traditionally and is generally well tolerated as a food.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin, and the other ingredients (magnesium stearate, silica, and rice powder) are inactive fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence we hold for maca root extract doesn't support its use for any of the conditions it's marketed for — amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, depression-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis — because the research is insufficient to rate it. That doesn't mean it's ineffective, just that we don't have solid clinical backing in the data we've reviewed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety in supplement amounts hasn't been studied, so keep that in mind if you're planning to take this regularly. The main side effect to watch for is stomach pain, which can happen if you consume fresh, uncooked maca — though you're taking an extract here.
Don't use this product if you're pregnant; there isn't enough safety data. The same applies if you're breastfeeding — we don't have enough reliable information on safety during lactation, so talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check in this product, so there are no medication types to double-check before taking it.
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.
Maca 1,600 mg might appeal to you if you're exploring a traditional plant supplement, and it doesn't interact with medications in our data. That said, we don't have strong evidence it works for any particular condition, and long-term safety in supplement form hasn't been established.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it for now. Run the product through your own healthcare provider to make sure it fits your health picture.
