HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca 350 mg by Nature's Way
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 two active ingredients, both forms of maca: maca itself and maca extract, totaling 350 mg per capsule. Maca is a root vegetable from Peru that's been used traditionally as a food.
The capsule itself is plant-derived. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold for maca doesn't support a clear benefit for any condition we have data on—amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the science hasn't yet established whether maca works for these uses.
If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk it over with your doctor to see what the current research suggests and whether it makes sense for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but its long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been well studied. The main side effect on record is stomach pain from fresh, uncooked maca.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data isn't robust enough—the product facts advise against it in pregnancy and note insufficient information for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to be.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients in this product. You're unlikely to see a medication interaction, but your pharmacist or doctor can confirm your specific situation.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Maca 350 mg has no documented drug interactions, so it's unlikely to clash with medications you're taking. That said, evidence for its effectiveness on common uses—sexual function, energy, bone health—is still insufficient.
If you're curious about trying it, check with your own doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any health conditions.
