HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Maca Root 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost Organic
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 a single active ingredient: maca root powder at 1 gram per serving. Maca is a plant root traditionally used in food and supplements.
There are no other active ingredients; the product contains no inactive fillers or additives.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for maca isn't established in the data we hold. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for amenorrhea (missing periods), anemia, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis.
If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied over the long term, so we don't have extensive safety data for high-dose use. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know either way.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. That said, run your medications through the checker on this page before you start—it's always worth confirming with your exact drug list.
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 single-ingredient supplement with no documented drug interactions. The long-term safety profile in supplement amounts isn't well established, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
If you're considering it for a specific health reason, check with your pharmacist about whether the evidence supports that use.
