HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Extract 300 mg by Vitabase
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 has one active ingredient: maca root extract at 300 mg per capsule. Maca is a root traditionally used in South American herbal medicine.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin, a standard inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold is incomplete. For the conditions we have data on — amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — the evidence is rated insufficient to say whether maca works.
That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the clinical trials we have aren't solid enough to draw a conclusion either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. One caution: fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
During pregnancy, the safety data is too thin — avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding: there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe, so it's best not to use it then.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca root extract. That said, this doesn't guarantee none exist — if you take medications regularly, it's worth a quick conversation with your doctor or pharmacist before adding any new supplement.
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.
If you're curious about maca for sexual function, athletic performance, or another reason, know that the evidence we have doesn't establish it works — but that's partly because good studies are lacking. Since maca is generally well tolerated and doesn't interact with medications on our data, it's low-risk to try, but talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a health condition.
