HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 525 mg by Solaray
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 root, at 525 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant from the Andes that's been used as a food for centuries.
The capsule itself includes cellulose as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold for maca. Trials have looked at it for amenorrhea (missed periods), chronic disease anemia, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and bone health — but the results don't support a clear rating yet.
If you're considering maca for one of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied much. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information.
One caution: fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca. Still, talk with your pharmacist before starting — especially if you take prescription medications — to confirm maca won't affect how your drugs work.
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 food supplement with no documented drug interactions, but the evidence for most health claims is still unclear. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it.
For everyone else, it's worth a conversation with your pharmacist about whether it makes sense for your goals.
