HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root 750 mg by Nutricost
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 at 750 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant root used traditionally as a food and supplement.
The capsule itself is made with hypromellose, an inactive ingredient that holds the powder together.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold for maca is not established. For the conditions it's used for — amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
That means the research so far hasn't given us a clear answer about whether maca actually helps with any of these.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety data on supplement doses hasn't been studied thoroughly. The main reported side effect is stomach pain, which can happen if you consume fresh, uncooked maca.
The safety data advises against taking maca during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe in those situations.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca. Use the medication checker on this page to search your specific drugs just to be sure.
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 traditional plant supplement with no documented medication interactions, but the evidence for whether it actually works for its claimed uses isn't clear yet. It's generally well tolerated, though long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been well studied.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have concerns about how it might fit into your health plan, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
