HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Concentrated 4:1 Extract by PureMax Labs YummyVite

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 root extract at a 4:1 concentration, meaning the extract is four times more potent than the raw root. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (the capsule itself), rice powder, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which are standard binders and flow agents that help deliver the active ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy, stamina, and reproductive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fatigue, Sexual desire, Male infertility, Postmenopausal conditions — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Postmenopausal conditions, Sexual desire, Male infertility.

The evidence for maca root isn't established yet in the data we hold. The supplement has been studied for amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis, but none of those areas have enough reliable evidence to give it a rating.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies so far haven't been conclusive enough for us to say either way.

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 long term, so long-term use is uncertain. The main side effect on record is stomach pain from fresh, uncooked maca — though this product is an extract, so that risk is lower.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data isn't strong enough to recommend it. The facts advise against use during pregnancy and note there isn't enough reliable information on breastfeeding safety.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether maca is right for you in either situation.

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 for maca root extract in our data. That's reassuring, but it's not a guarantee none exist — our information is always incomplete.

If you're on any medications and want extra confidence, a quick conversation with your pharmacist about your exact drug list is never wasted time.

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 root extract is generally well tolerated and shows no known medication interactions, making it a low-barrier option if you're interested in trying it. The catch is that we don't have solid evidence it works for any specific condition yet, and long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — not because of interactions, but to make sure it fits your individual health picture.

Maca Concentrated 4:1 Extract by PureMax Labs YummyVite: Common Questions

Does Maca Concentrated 4:1 Extract by PureMax Labs YummyVite interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Maca Concentrated 4:1 Extract. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Maca Concentrated 4:1 Extract 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't strong enough to recommend maca during pregnancy — the facts advise against it. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information to say it's safe either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation; they can help you weigh the unknowns.
What's maca root extract used for?
Maca has been studied for several uses — amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and bone health — but the evidence isn't conclusive enough yet for any of them. It's commonly taken as a general wellness supplement, though we don't have strong data backing any specific benefit.
Does it really work?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say maca works for any condition we've tracked. That doesn't mean it doesn't — it means the studies haven't been strong enough to prove it one way or the other. You might find personal testimonials online, but the science isn't there yet.
What side effects should I watch for?
Maca is generally well tolerated. The main side effect documented is stomach pain — though that's tied to fresh, uncooked maca, and this is an extract, so it's less likely. Long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been well studied, so any unusual symptoms warrant a call to your pharmacist.
What's in the capsule besides the maca?
The capsule itself is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and it also contains rice powder, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — all standard inactive ingredients that help the capsule dissolve and the powder flow smoothly.
