HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Gold 500 mg by NutriGold
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
Maca Gold contains one active ingredient: Full-Spectrum Maca Powder at 500 mg per capsule. Maca is a root plant native to Peru, traditionally used to support energy, stamina, and sexual function.
The capsule itself is made with Plant Cellulose, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for maca remains incomplete. Our data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for amenorrhea (absent or abnormal periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — meaning the studies so far haven't been strong enough to confirm whether it works for these uses.
If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current research supports its use for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but its long-term safety as a supplement has not been studied thoroughly. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, as there isn't enough reliable information to know either way in those situations.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the maca in this product in our data. That doesn't mean interactions are impossible — just that they haven't been identified in the research we hold.
If you take any medications and want to be extra sure, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your routine.
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 Gold is a single-ingredient supplement with no documented interactions in our database, though research on it is still evolving. It's generally well tolerated, but we don't have long-term safety data on supplement doses.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications, talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.
