Maca Root Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root by Woodstock Herbal Products
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. Maca is a plant native to Peru, traditionally used for various health purposes.
The extract is prepared in liquid form and contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for maca's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. For conditions including amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis, we don't have reliable evidence to rate how well it works.
If you're considering maca for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the broader research shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca root is generally well tolerated as a food, but its safety hasn't been studied long term in supplement amounts. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain.
The safety data advises against using maca during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in either situation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That doesn't guarantee none exist — it means we don't hold documented interaction data for maca.
Use the medication checker on this page for your specific drugs.
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 root is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety at supplement doses isn't established. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data suggests avoiding it.
If you have questions about whether it's right for your situation, check in with your pharmacist.
