HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition

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: 1,000 mg of organic maca per capsule. Maca is a root vegetable used traditionally as a supplement.

The capsule itself is vegan — it's the only inactive ingredient in here.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Maca product and its label doesn't state a use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for maca isn't established yet. We hold ratings for six uses — amenorrhea (absent periods), chronic anemia, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — and all of them show insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That means the science isn't there yet to say whether maca works for any of these.

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 when eaten as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied over the long term, so there's a caution there. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.

The safety data doesn't support use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations, so avoid it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 in our data for maca. That said, check your exact medications with the tool on this page or with your pharmacist before you start — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.

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 root supplement with no documented drug interactions, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't solid yet. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, especially if you want to know whether it might help with a specific concern.

Maca Root 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Maca Root 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Maca Root 1000 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Maca Root 1000 mg 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?
No — there isn't enough safety data to know that maca is safe during pregnancy, so the guidance is to avoid it. Talk with your doctor about what's right for you.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking maca?
The safety data on breastfeeding isn't available, so there's no reliable information either way. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's best for you and your baby.
Does maca help with low energy or athletic performance?
The evidence for athletic performance is insufficient — we don't have solid science backing that claim yet. If you're considering maca for a specific reason, ask your doctor whether the evidence is there.
Could maca cause stomach pain?
Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people. This supplement is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety studies haven't been done.
What's in the capsule besides maca?
Just the maca root itself — the capsule is vegan, which is the only other ingredient.
