HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 525 mg by NutraBio
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: gelatinized maca at 525 mg per capsule. Gelatinized maca is maca root that has been heat-treated to make it easier to digest.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable material.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for maca is not yet established in the data we hold. It carries insufficient reliable evidence for a range of uses, including amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis.
That means the science hasn't accumulated enough solid studies to say whether it works for these conditions.
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 hasn't been studied. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — this product is gelatinized, which should reduce that risk, but it's worth noting.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information in those settings.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for gelatinized maca. If you take any medications, you can use the interaction checker on this page to search your exact drugs, but we hold no major, moderate, or minor interactions for this ingredient.
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 supplement with no documented drug interactions, but evidence for its effectiveness hasn't been established. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data suggests avoiding it.
Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine, especially if you're considering it for a specific health goal.
