HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 500 mg by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas
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: 500 mg of organic maca powder per capsule. Maca is a root vegetable native to Peru, used traditionally as a food and supplement.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, with maltodextrin and magnesium stearate added as inactive ingredients to help with texture and capsule function.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether maca works for the conditions it's marketed for — amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction linked to antidepressants, athletic performance, or bone health. All of these carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't solid enough yet to say one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied over the long term, so there's some uncertainty about extended use at higher doses. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
The safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is too thin to know whether it's safe — avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless your doctor has cleared it for you.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Maca is a traditional root vegetable with no documented drug interactions, so it won't clash with medications. But we don't have solid evidence it works for the claims made about it, and long-term safety at supplement doses isn't well studied.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the data isn't there to say it's safe — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.
