HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MACA plus Pygeum by Wonder Laboratories
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 2 active ingredients: pygeum extract, used traditionally for prostate health, and maca extract, a root powder studied for various aspects of wellness. The rest of the capsule is made up of inactive ingredients — gelatin, vegetable cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silica — that help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Pygeum extract is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate that causes urinary symptoms in men. For other uses — including sexual desire, Alzheimer disease, psychosis, and malaria — the evidence is insufficient to rate it.
Maca extract has been studied for sexual function, athletic performance, bone health, anemia, amenorrhea (absent periods), and depression-related sexual dysfunction, but the evidence for any of these remains insufficient to rate.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both pygeum and maca are generally well tolerated as short-term supplements, though long-term safety data are limited for pygeum and haven't been studied in supplement doses for maca. Pygeum may cause nausea or abdominal pain in some people — though in clinical trials these happened at rates similar to placebo.
Fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain in some individuals. Neither ingredient has established safety in pregnancy or while breastfeeding; the safety data advise against use in both.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is designed for men interested in prostate support, where pygeum has solid evidence. If you're looking for other benefits from maca — like improved sexual function or athletic performance — the science doesn't yet support those claims in this product.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off-limits. Before you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have prostate concerns or take other supplements.
