HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Root Extract by Earthborn Elements
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. It's a single-ingredient supplement, so what you're taking is straightforward — just maca in a gelatin capsule.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for maca root extract isn't established in the data we hold. We don't have reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, or osteoporosis.
If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but its safety as a long-term supplement hasn't been studied in depth, so there's a caution there. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — this product is an extract, but it's worth knowing.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so the guidance is to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca root extract. Still, check your exact medications with the search tool below before you begin — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.
