HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root by Hawaii Pharm
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 Extract, Dry. It's a concentrated form of maca, a plant root traditionally used in Peruvian cuisine and herbal medicine.
The liquid form also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on maca root doesn't establish it as effective for any of the uses it's marketed for—amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis. We don't have enough reliable data to rate it one way or the other for any of these.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research hasn't been solid enough yet to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca root is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied. 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 to know it's safe at supplement doses. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you before you start.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for Maca Root Extract. That said, before you take this product, confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it won't affect any medications you're on.
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.
Hawaii Pharm Maca Root Liquid is a single-ingredient extract with no documented interactions with medications. The evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold.
It's generally well tolerated, but pregnancy, breastfeeding, and long-term safety are concerns—check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, especially if you're in either of those situations.
