What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

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: maca, a root vegetable traditionally used as a food supplement. The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients — silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate — which are common excipients that help with the capsule's stability and flow.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for maca isn't established yet in the data we hold. It's been studied for amenorrhea (missing periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — but all those ratings come back as insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works.
That doesn't mean it does nothing; it means the research so far hasn't been solid enough to make a call.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. The main adverse effect we know about is stomach pain from fresh, uncooked maca.
The safety data advises against maca during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe in those settings.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca. That absence of documented interactions is not a guarantee none exist — it means we hold no evidence linking it to specific drugs.
Run your medications through the search tool on this page, and confirm with your own pharmacist or doctor before you start.
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 food-derived supplement with a long history of use, but we don't yet have strong evidence it works for any specific health goal. If you're interested in trying it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take regular medications.
They can help you weigh whether it's right for your situation.
