HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MACA 1,900 mg by Safrel

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, supplied at 1,900 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant native to South America that's been used traditionally as a food and supplement.

The capsule itself is made with cellulose, an inert filler. You're getting maca and nothing else active — no added vitamins, minerals, or other botanicals in this formula.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports reproductive health and sexual function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Male infertility, Sexual desire, Postmenopausal conditions, Erectile dysfunction — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postmenopausal conditions, Sexual desire, Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male infertility.

The evidence for maca is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis.

That means the studies so far don't give us a clear picture of whether it works for these purposes — not that it doesn't work, but that we simply don't have solid proof either way.

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 safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.

Because there isn't enough safety data on maca supplements during pregnancy, the safety data advises against use at that time. There also isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so you'd want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether to use it then.

If you're pregnant or nursing, or planning to become pregnant, discuss this supplement with your healthcare provider before starting.

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 maca. You can feel confident about that piece — but do run your specific medications through the checker on this page anyway, just as a final safeguard.

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 is a single-ingredient supplement with no documented drug interactions, which makes it a low-complexity choice if you take medications. The trade-off is that we don't have strong evidence it works for its traditional uses — the research just isn't there yet.

If you're curious about it, a conversation with your pharmacist can help you decide whether it's worth trying, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any digestive sensitivity.

MACA 1,900 mg by Safrel: Common Questions

Does MACA 1,900 mg by Safrel interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in MACA 1,900 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
MACA 1,900 mg 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.
Will maca upset my stomach?
Maca is generally well tolerated. That said, fresh or uncooked maca can cause stomach pain in some people. This product is a processed supplement, so that risk is likely lower — but if you have a sensitive stomach, start with a small dose and see how you do.
Can I take maca if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against maca supplements during pregnancy because there isn't enough data to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or midwife before using it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Is maca safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information on maca's safety while breastfeeding. You'd want to speak with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for you right now.
Does maca actually work for what it's supposed to do?
We don't have solid evidence yet. The research on maca for amenorrhea, sexual function, athletic performance, anemia, or bone health shows insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works. That doesn't mean it doesn't — just that the studies so far aren't conclusive.
What exactly is maca?
Maca is a root plant from South America that's been used traditionally as both a food and a supplement. This product is a concentrated form of it at 1,900 mg per capsule.
