HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 750 mg by Herbal Secrets

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: maca, a plant root traditionally used in South America. You get 750 mg per capsule.

The remaining ingredients — cellulose, rice flour, silica, and magnesium stearate — are inactive ingredients (binders, fillers, and flow agents) that help hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Sexual health, libido, and menopause support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Sexual desire, Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Male infertility, Postmenopausal conditions, Female sexual dysfunction, Hormonal balance — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postmenopausal conditions, Sexual desire, Male infertility.

The evidence for maca is limited. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works for amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research isn't settled enough for us to say either way. If you're thinking about using it for a specific condition, talk it over with your doctor about what the science shows and what might work better for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maca

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied over the long term, so we don't have a lot of data on what happens with regular high-dose use. A small number of people report stomach pain after consuming fresh, uncooked maca.

The safety data advises against using this supplement during pregnancy because we don't have enough reliable information. The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough data to know whether it's safe, so it's best to avoid it or talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maca

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for maca with any medications. Still, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you start, or ask your pharmacist — they know your full medication list and can spot anything we might have missed.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Maca is often used for sexual function and energy, but the evidence for those uses isn't strong yet. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it — the safety data isn't there.

Before you start, run your medications through the checker on this page and talk it over with your pharmacist, especially if you have stomach sensitivity.

Maca 750 mg by Herbal Secrets: Common Questions

Does Maca 750 mg by Herbal Secrets interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Maca 750 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Maca 750 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is maca safe to take long-term?
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but we don't have good long-term safety data on supplement doses. Talk with your pharmacist about how long you're planning to take it and whether that makes sense for you.
Can maca cause stomach problems?
Some people report stomach pain, especially after fresh, uncooked maca. If you have a sensitive stomach, start with a smaller dose and see how you feel.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or midwife about alternatives if you're pregnant or nursing.
Does maca actually improve sexual function or energy?
The evidence isn't strong enough for us to say it works. We don't have reliable studies showing it helps with sexual dysfunction or athletic performance, so if those are your goals, talk with your doctor about what's proven to help.
