HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 1500 mg by Nugenix
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: MacaPrime, a standardized form of maca root, at 1500 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant native to the Andes and has been used traditionally as a food and supplement.
The capsule itself is made from hypromellose (a plant-based capsule material) with magnesium stearate as a processing aid — both are inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for maca in supplement amounts is not yet established for the conditions we have data on. These include amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia of chronic disease, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — all rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.
This doesn't mean maca doesn't work; it means well-designed studies large enough to confirm benefit haven't been done yet or aren't in our current data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety studies of supplement doses haven't been completed. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in those situations — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient in this product. That said, run your current medications through the checker on this page before you start — absence of documented interactions is not a guarantee none exist.
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.
Maca is a traditional plant ingredient with no documented drug interactions, but the evidence for it as a supplement is still being established for most uses. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh what we know so far.
