HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements
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 one active ingredient: maca root powder at 1000 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant root traditionally used in South American cuisine.
The capsule itself is made from hypromellose and rice flour, which are inactive ingredients that help hold the powder together and form the capsule shell.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for maca root isn't established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis.
That means the studies done so far aren't robust enough to say whether it works for these uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca root is generally well tolerated as a food, but its safety as a long-term supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. One side effect to watch for: fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information about its safety in those situations.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That said, before you start this product, run your medications through the checker on this page or confirm with your pharmacist that maca root won't affect your prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs.
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 root is a traditional plant root with limited evidence for any particular use. It's generally well tolerated, but long-term supplement safety isn't well studied.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or thinking about using this for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it's right for you.
